Hello friends,
Is it okay to change the name of the DCP folder after it has been created? Sometimes I
don’t like the name and want to change it. Upon testing it, it will play in the Quvis
simulator, but I have yet to try it on a real system on ingest.
thanks,
JP

If you want to change the name of the folder, do it in the project and make
the dcp again. DOM will reuse all of the encoding, so it's quite fast.
Changing the name of the folder will only confuse you, as it will not match
the name of the dcp as stated inside the xml files.

You can, but I think that you will also find that this can be a source of confusion. You
look on the drive and see the folder (directory) name as being My_Cool_Movie and you tell
someone to download My_Cool_Movie, but the ingest server will see what the name that you
created during the creation process, and My_Cool_Movie will never be seen on the server
GUI.
All the internal documents will refer to the original name. Of course, the one server that
you try it on will prove me wrong, but I can guarantee that most all servers ignore the
directory name.
As I type this I see that Manuel has just said the same thing, and closed the same way
that I was going to – Do it over.
And while your making things right, make sure that the drive is a properly formatted
ext2/3 drive.
