Re: [DCP-o-matic] Scripting DCP-o-matic

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).
