Hi all,
Looks like it might be wise / necessary to add this; maybe just as an
option. I've made a note here:

Thanks,

There are a lot of modifiers, but not that many

It's not that bad.
This would be a realistic NULLed name:
MovieTitle_TST-1_F-178_EN_INT_20_2K_NULL_20160204_NULL_SMPTE_OV
Or in my case with MÖ films as Studio and AKA (akaDCP) as Facility
MovieTitle_TST-1_F-178_EN_INT_20_2K_MO_20160204_AKA_SMPTE_OV
I don't agree with the NULL proposition neither, maybe just N?
Anyways, it was interesting to know that some systems are parsing the
underscores and to be careful about it.
Thanks!

http://main.carlh.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dcpomatic Not that I'm saying that is not the reason,
merely that if that is
what is causing it, it is not the fault of the software. Also,
considering the resolution of the content servers (Doremi and GDC
seem most egregious about it), it is often more difficult than it
needs to be to read a DCP's label, and adding NULL to so many
sections would be an irritating proposition for many
managers/projectionists building their SPLs.
I agree on that. The mentioned section is from a complex that deals
with the introduction of CPL Metadata - in the future, the Metadata
will be used by systems to automate things, while the DCNC CPL
naming will be used by systems not yet supporting Metadata.
So I think that it is wise to keep the CPL naming where it
currently is (already complex enough), and focus on CPL Metadata
for all automated readout.
Adding NULL would really make these things completely unreadable.
