Advertising Accord now generates weekly CPL playlists that do not include the site code in the CPL name/folder name. This makes it impossible to ingest playlists for multiple sites (cinemas) in 1 repository. Site 1 would have a playlist called ADV-PUB2022-10-05Avatar1OV2DS1-MAIN-P2 (for "Avatar 1" movie) and another site would have a different playlist for Avatar1 with exactly the same name, but with a different UUID. This makes it impossible to see which playlists are for which site.

This script makes it possible to rename all playlists to include the site code, while keeping the CPLs valid (so adapting UUID and file hashes in PackingList and Assetmap)

The whole operation can be done with the cpl_renamer.sh scripts, which calls the PHP modules when it's required.

• choose a root folder for all your playlists, let's call the $PLAYLIST_ROOT
• create a separate folder per week, e.g. $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41

• put all received ZIP files in the folder e.g.
  • $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41/playlists-2022-10-05-KANT.zip
  • $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41/playlists-2022-10-05-KBXL.zip
  • ...

• run cpl_renamer.sh --input "$PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41" unzip
• this will unzip all ZIP files into folders like
  • $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41/orig/playlists-2022-10-05-KANT/ADV-PUB2022-10-05Avatar1OV2DS1
  • $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41/orig/playlists-2022-10-05-KANT/ADV-PUB2022-10-05DontWorryDarlingOV2DS1
  • $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41/orig/playlists-2022-10-05-KBXL/ADV-PUB2022-10-05Avatar1OV2DS1
  • ...

• then run cpl_renamer.sh --input "$PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41" rename
• this will rename all playlists and save them into folders :
  • $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41/renamed/KANT/KANT-PUB2022-10-05Avatar1OV2DS1
  • $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41/renamed/KANT/KANT-PUB2022-10-05DontWorryDarlingOV2DS1
  • $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41/renamed/KBXL/KBXL-PUB2022-10-05Avatar1OV2DS1
• so 1 folder per site and then a subfolder per playlist, with the site code added in the new name.

• then run cpl_renamer.sh --input "$PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41" rezip
• this will create a ZIP file per site, with all renamed playlists
  • $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41/renamed/renamed_2022W41_KANT.zip
  • $PLAYLIST_ROOT/2022W41/renamed/renamed_2022W41_KBXL.zip
• this will also create an Excel export export.all.csv with all sessions and all spots

The PHP library can also be called directly from another PHP script. An example of this can be found in the wrapper script rename_folder.php, as called from the process_folder.sh script.

<?php
include __DIR__ . "/../vendor/autoload.php";

use Brightfish\CplRenamer\CplRenamer;

$input_folder=$argv[1] ?? "";
$output_folder=$argv[2] ?? "";
$site_code=$argv[3] ?? "";
if(!$input_folder || !$output_folder || !$site_code){
    print "------ rename all playlists of a site\n";
    print "Usage: $argv[0] [input_folder] [output_folder] [sitecode]\n";
    print "Example: $argv[0] week40/orig/KBXL week40/renamed/KBXL KBXL\n";
    exit(1);
}
$renamer = new CplRenamer($site_code);
$renamer->renameMoviePlaylists($input_folder,$output_folder);

• awk
• unzip / zip (sudo apt install zip)

• PHP 8.0 or higher
• PHP ext-curl
• PHP ext-dom
• PHP ext-json
• PHP ext-simplexml
• sudo apt install php8.0-xml should do the trick
