Hi everyone.
Trying to import DCP, get error "Could not find essense type". Seems, this
is due to encryption in some reels of DCP. Ideally, this error needs to be
changed to more self-explanatory.

Hi Carl.
To what degree (if any) is DCP-o-matic scriptable?
I've got to make a huge number of DCPs of short films (about 300) for a
festival, each one from a single video file. What I have in mind is:
* I put all the video files in a single folder
* I write a script which executes DCP-o-matic for each file passing the
path of the video file
* For each video, DCP-o-matic makes a DCP-o-matic project file (with
default settings) and save it to another folder
* (Ideally) DCP-o-matic also runs 'Analyse audio' on each video
Why do I want to do this? I'm using batch processing to make the actual
DCPs once I have DCP-o-matic project files, which works great. But with
this many films, I spend a lot of time creating a DCP-o-matic project
file for each file, waiting for it to analyse, then waiting for it to
analyse audio. Each of these processes runs pretty fast, but with this
volume of films, the time spent watching the progress bars is pretty
significant (and boring!)
If possible, it'd be great to be able to script that process so that for
each film I just need to open the project file that's already created
and adjust any settings that I need to. The save the project and move it
into another folder for batch processing to make the actual DCP.
I'm using the v1 branch as stability is key at this point.
Is the CLI interface documented anywhere? And if this isn't possible at
present, could you point me to the part of the codebase which deals with
these processes? Maybe I could hack around and see if I can add this
feature (though C++ is not my strong suit).
