Dalet Flex 2023.6.X (LTS) Release Notes

Dalet is excited to present the release of Dalet Flex 2023.6.0 (LTS).

This release of Dalet Flex provides the new features, quality and security enhancements, bug fixes, and other changes listed below.

Flex 2023.6.0 is an LTS (Long Term Supported) release track and will receive both critical bug fix updates and security updates until it reaches end-of-life.

Dalet Flex

MariaDB version Now Documented in Flex Release Manifests

The details of the MariaDB version, in format major.minor without specifying the patch version, is now included in the Flex release manifest YAML file. For example, for 2023.6.20, the version is 10.6.

Important Note Regarding Vulnerabilities for 2023.6.15

The Login App referenced by the manifest for 2023.6.x has been patched to overcome a critical CVE vulnerability on external authentication mechanisms. To receive the upgraded version of Login App as soon as possible, it is recommended to upgrade all customers to the latest patch in 2023.6.x (LTS). Customers working with interim Flex versions or with a version override for the Login App should contact their Dalet representative for further information.

Important Information regarding MariaDB and Dalet Flex 2023.6.5 and above in 2023.6.x (LTS) 

Flex 2023.6.5 is NOT compatible with MariaDB 10.4. You MUST upgrade MariaDB to 10.6 if upgrading Flex to 2023.6.5 or above in 2023.6.x series. 

Please plan for a full back-up restore operation when upgrading to 2023.6.5 and above in 2023.6.x (LTS). 

Important Note for Versions 2023.6.0 and 2023.6.1

Due to a missing metadata issue, 2023.6.0 and 2023.6.1 versions should upgrade to 2023.6.2 and above ASAP.

In 2023.6.02 an issue was fixed where the Metadata Service added the "key" value in the metadata Json even when the "withKey" parameter was set to false. Fixed by using the value specified by the user in the REST call instead of the “withKey” parameter.

New Features

Support NRAW and Nikon RED Technical Metadata Extraction (new from 2023.6.22)

From this version of Dalet Flex, FSP is upgraded to support NRAW and Nikon RED Technical Metadata Extraction

Support creation of HEIC proxy images (new from 2023.6.20)

To enable compatibility with all Apple devices, from this version of Dalet Flex, HEIC proxy images can be created using the JEF Transcode > Image Transcode (FMP) plugin.

Support publishing events by flex-fileaccess-service (new from 2023.6.14)

Event publishing for flex-fileaccess-service has been implemented.  Currently, an event is pushed only when an asset is downloaded.

Event publishing is available by default. If required, it is also configurable through consul KV or through Environment variable.

Consul KV: flex/flex-fileaccess-service/enableEventPublish (default=true)

Environment variable: EVENT_PUBLISH_ENABLE

Event name: DOWNLOADED

The environment variable takes precedence over the KV when both are specified.

Improve scripting lock management and script lock release (new from 2023.6.12)

Previously, JEF Script could release Script locks when the script threw an exception and terminated failing the job. JEF Script locks are now also released when the Job Execution (Job Async Executor service) goes down unexpectedly. This allows other JEF Scripts waiting for the Script lock to acquire it once the original script lock owner has failed, regardless of the reason for the failure.

Flex Stream Processor updated to use Ffmpeg 7.0.1 (new from 2023.6.6)

Update to FFmpeg 7  

Improve Type filter options in FlexMAM (new from 2023.6.6)

In this version the Type search filter had been improved so that each asset filter type has a unique meaning. Only these options are available in the Type filter:

• Video: Only filled videos, excluding live feeds and placeholders
• Audio: Only filled audios, excluding live feeds and placeholders
• Live: Only segmented assets (live audio or live video) 
• Image: Only filled images, excluding placeholders 
• Document: Only filled documents, excluding placeholders 
• Placeholder: Only placeholder videos, images, document and audios
• Package: Only Package Asset (IMP) 
• Camera Card: Only Camera card 
• Group: Only Group assets 
• Edit: Only Project asset, Sequence asset and Edit asset 
• UDOs: Display only root UDO 

Improvements to encoding profile settings for proxy creation (new from 2023.6.5) 

Improved general encoding profile settings and specific settings for H264 encoding (using libx264). This should result in better quality proxy encodes with a lower variability in bit-rate. 

Improve optimization of volume of jobs consumed by Job Executor (new from 2023.6.4)

This release includes multiple enhancements and bug fixes that optimize the volume of jobs consumed by Job Executor with long and blocking jobs, for example scripts that take a long time to complete. The enhancements include improving warning messages, job distribution, restart performance and more. 

Changes to semantics in VFS affect Copy/Move API with API behavior (new from 2023.6.4)

JEF Copy/Move: Changes to semantics in VFS mean that any scripted actions making use of FFP API to perform copy/move may be affected if the source location is a folder. In this case the FFP job will now move/copy the source folder (including the folder itself and not just its contents) to the target. To ensure just the contents of the folder are moved/copied, the source VFS location should include the property includesRegex: ".*" . Further details on this change to the semantics for copy/move are outlined here: 

Reconcile selected unmanaged assets in a workflow contex (new from 2023.6.3)

The previously created Reconcile UnManaged Asset under the Reimport Action has been renamed Reconcile all Unmanaged Assets and associates a given Storage Resource to the Unmanaged assets and converts ALL of them into Managed Assets. This action currently only supports S3 storage. This action is not available by default as it requires coordinating with Professional Services before using it. By default, it is delivered as an obsolete action. Set the KV  /flex/shared/flex-enterprise/featureToggles/enableObsoleteReconcileallUnManagedAssetPlugin/  to true to enable it.

A new plugin, Reconcile Unmanaged Asset, has been created under the Reimport Action. This action converts SELECTED assets from unmanaged to managed assets. Multiple assets can be converted by supplying comma seperated assetIds. If all the assets in the supplied list fail to be converted to managed assets because the path does not match the storage, the job fails. If any one of the assets in the list is not matched, the job does not fail and a warning is written in the History. This action is not available by default as it requires coordinating with Professional Services before using it. By default, it is delivered as an obsolete action. Set the KV flex/shared/flex-enterprise/featureToggles/enableObsoleteReconcileUnManagedAssetPlugin to true to enable it.

Rendering Dalet Cut Projects in Dalet Flex (new from 2023.6.1)

You can render Dalet Cut projects in Dalet Flex to create media files using the Conform plugin added to the Transcode plugin type. This action has these additional options: 

• Render as proxy. The generated media file will be added as PROXY of the Flex Edit input (optional)
• Reconcile referenced source asset IDs. This will reference all existing assets in the account as children of the Flex Edit input. 
•  

Twitter V2 API supported (new from 2023.6.1)

Support for Twitter V2 API for Twitter Publish/Unpublish actions implemented.

Support for saving Dalet Cut projects in Flex

Dalet Cut projects can be saved as Flex Edit assets. The entire timeline will be saved into the Clip Bin (or active collection if configured) with the timeline configuration, as JSON, being stored in a storage resource configured in the account metadata.

Return original keyframe image by default (Change to API behavior for retrieving keyframe images)

From 2023.6.0 (LTS), downloading original keyframe images instead of converting to a .png file before download is the default behavior for this API call /api/assets/{assetId}/keyframes/{keyframeId}/image. From 2023.6.0 (LTS) release, the Consul KV, flex-enterprise/featureToggles/returnOriginalKeyframeImage has been set to true by default.

Until now this KV was set to false for backwards compatibility. If you have been using /api/assets/{assetId}/keyframes/{keyframeId}/image API endpoint and expect this endpoint to always return converted .png images (irrespective of the original format) then this is a BREAKING change and you MUST add the new consul KV flex-enterprise/featureToggles/returnOriginalKeyframeImage with value false to switch back to the previous behavior.

NOTE:  Image conversion support will be removed in future releases so it is recommended to stop relying on this endpoint to return converted images. As of now, this is planned for the 2023.12.0. Release.

Migrate users from internal authentication to external authentication

A migration tool to move users from internal authentication to external authentication has been created. This means that you can migrate existing locally authenticated users to an external IDP, such as SAML, without having to recreate the users and preventing losing their history, ACLs etc.

New asset model for pixelAspectRatioFraction  and frameRateFraction

In a previous release:

• pixelAspectRatio as Float value was deprecated in favor of pixelAspectRatioFraction
• frameRate as Float value was deprecated in favor of frameRateFraction

In this release, support for writing from API (POST/PATCH/PUT) has been removed. For GET calls, float values are returned dynamically calculated from the fraction values pixelAspectRatioFraction and frameRateFraction.

This may impact accounts using script and writing/reading from pixelAspectRatio and frameRate instead of pixelAspectRatioFraction and frameRateFraction. To track new assets with this change, the Asset.format.version is now 6.

Improve behavior when deleting collections that leave orphan sub-collections

To prevent issues caused when deleting shared collections that have unshared sub-collections, these improvements have been made:

• Dalet Flex will try and delete all sub- collections and will only delete sub-collections belonging to the owner deleting the parent collection.
• Dalet Flex does not delete sub-collections that a user does not have access to and does not throw an exception that impacts further deletions.
• In the stored data of the sub-collection, the parentUuid is updated to null. A collection with parent = null is a root collection, so after this change, orphaned collections which were not deleted, will reappear as root collections.

You MUST run a full reindex after upgrading to this version.

Removed old Deprecated Enterprise Actions

The following Enterprise Actions were deprecated a few years back and are no longer available:

• Azure Stream Publish
• Azure Stream Unpublish
• Launch Vantage Workflow
• Vantage Workflow Wait
• Vantage Workflow Resource
• Vantage Package Resource

NOTE: If you have any of these actions or resources you should remove them and recreate them using   the latest versions (i.e. using the equivalent JEF plugin) before upgrading to 2023.6.0. Please contact your Flex representative for any questions.

Infrastructure for Flex-Brio integration: Live content recording and previewing

To enable support of recording live feeds in Dalet Brio and previewing the growing media in Dalet Flex, the following functionalities have been implemented: 

• Hot Folder supports watching growing (live) assets recorded by Dalet Brio. It supports both growing MXF files and dynamic MPEG-DASH files. These growing files can be identified in Flex by the asset live property set to true while the recording is in progress.
• To enable the e2e integration between Dalet Brio and Dalet Flex, the dedicated "Prepare Import from Brio Live Recording" workflow containing a single Groovy script that bundles the integration must be deployed. This workflow processes Dalet Brio recording files using a proprietary integration protocol between Flex/Brio. Both Dalet Brio scheduled recording and Brio while scenarios are supported.  High Res and proxy recordings can be imported simultaneously if configured in Dalet Brio.
•  

Dalet Flex support for NetApp Storage Grid S3

Support of NetApp Storage Grid S3 for working with Dalet Flex has been validated. 

NOTE: See Known Limitations.  

Adobe Xtend Panel migrated to use PKCE authentication

Login to Adobe Xtend Panel in Dalet Flex uses PKCE authentication and loads the login screen in a real web browser instead of embedded in the FlexXtend panel. This is a breaking change to the FlexXtend authentication and is not backwards compatible with older versions of Dalet Flex. The minimum supported versions are Flex 2023.6.0 (LTS) and FlexXtend (ZXP) 1.1.0.

NOTE: With Dalet Flex 2023.6.0, you can continue working without PKCE authentication using the older FlexXtend (ZXP) 1.0.3.

Dalet FlexMAM

New Features

Notifications for New Tasks (new from 2023.6.3)

Tasks have been connected to the notification framework so that users are notified when new tasks are available in either of the My Tasks or Available Tasks lists. When new tasks are added to the list a count appears in the Tasks sub-tab. A Refresh button is displayed in the Available Tasks to update any new tasks that have not yet been displayed. When the Tasks sub-tab contains new items, a dot notification is displayed on the notification bell in the Global Header, in the same way it is displayed for new Workflows.

Dalet Cut integrated into Dalet Flex

From 2023.6.0 Dalet Cut is available using the app switcher in Dalet Flex for authenticated users. Planned functionality for Dalet Cut from Dalet Flex allows you to:

• Launch Dalet Cut from the app switcher
• Share authentication with FlexMAM
• Browse collections to find media assets (video, audio, clips)
• Import assets to Dalet Cut
• Add assets to the Timeline and save the Timeline back to Dalet Flex as a Flex Edit asset
• Send Flex Edit assets to a workflow for a rendering using the new Conform action

Accessing New FlexREVIEW app

From Flex 2023.6.0 LTS, CS Ops set the Consul KV 

 to true and the updated FlexREVIEW is accessed from the App Switcher in Dalet Flex.

Customers can ask CS Ops to deploy the old or new FlexREVIEW version.

New FlexREVIEW URL is https://<account_url>/fmp/review/index.

Add label property to identify audio tracks for Mpeg-Dash

There is a new identifier label for identifying audio tracks. This means that all audio tracks are displayed in the Timeline. 

Item key displayed on items in a collection

The item key for items in a collection is displayed as a column in the collection table. Numbers count from 1 and continue over multiple pages. After drag and drop or MoveUp/Down actions on items in a collection, manually refresh the page to reorder item numbers in a collection.

Breaking Change

Update to representation of 23.976 fps framerate - from 2023.6.6

OpAtom transcode is failing for media with 23.976 fps. To fix this, FSP has been updated to represent 23.98fps or 23.976fps as a ratio of 24000/1001 instead of 4000/167.  

This is a breaking change because the frame rate value returned from FSP for such media will now be 24000/1001 instead of 4000/167. Any script using 4000 or 167 to detect 23.976fps may need to be updated and should be checked. 

Known Limitations

Refresh Task Notifications

The real time update, done via websocket, for new Tasks is currently disabled, refresh FlexMAM manually to see new Tasks in the Task panel.

Support for NetApp Storage

When the source and destinations storage resources are on Netapp Storage, the Publish action fails and you cannot publish an asset.

No Audio Player in FlexREVIEW - Resolved in 2023.6.1

When starting a Review session on an audio asset containing a master keyframe, the Audio Player is not displayed in FlexREVIEW.

List of Services upgraded between 2023.6.15 and 2023.6.16

2023.6.15

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Add support for still image sources in transcode profile.  

-  When performing transcode on an image (e.g. a static image video stream to accompany audio), the output video profile MUST have a frameRate value set.  

- If there is no accompanying audio stream then the input must include a clip specification with a duration or end value.  

• Add support for flattening Un-TAR output instead of unpacking to relative paths for pack implementation. To flatten the output, set the Consul KV flex/flex-fileprocessor-service/enableDefaultUnpackDiscardRelativePaths to true. Default behavior is Consul KV to unpack to the directory structure of the TAR file when flex/flex-fileprocessor-service/enableDefaultUnpackDiscardRelativePaths = false or is not specified.
• Support passing start timecode to DMT for transcode or render (clipping) for growing MXF without Dalet Cut project.

2023.6.14

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Use this Consul KV `flex/shared/vfs/multipartIndirectCopyEnabled=true` to improve performance of indirect multipart write. Validated for:

- Copy from object storage (any) to local file  

- Copy from local file to object storage (AZBS, S3)  

- Copy from object storage (any) file to object storage (AZBS, S3 - different than source storage)

• Migrate VFS to use AWS SDK V3 for JavaScript.
• Support ability to write TCD files for MXF when performing Extract Technical Metadata jobs on assets after a proxy file has been created.

• Fixed an issue with UTF8 in path not supported in Shaka packaging
• Fixed an issue where an error was received upon creating a sequence due to missing sequence metadata
• Fixed an issue where when saving a new logo or favicon through account management in FlexADMIN, the new mages do not appear upon reloading the UI.
• Fixed an issue where a required metadata field in the uploader was not marked in red as all other required fields, but was greyed out.

2023.6.7

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Event handler service: Catch all exceptions when applying an event handler's filter.
• AS02: Add functionality to import file and qc entries included in the AS02 manifest, if they are in a supported caption/image format. File and qc assets are created as child assets of the AS02 asset. Assets with unknown file extensions are created as to Text assets and a warn event is published reporting the name of the file and that it is mapped to Flex Asset Text as there is no matching extension in Flex types.
• Use and pass configured Folder Resource from action plugin instead of Storage Resource to Enterprise to skip finding Folder Resource by passed Storage Resource in Enterprise which causes an issue where assets are not found.
• Fixed an issue where workflow runs two node concurrently. Issue fixed by preventing the system from sending signals to the workflow when jobs were moved from pending to running that was causing the nodes to run concurrently.
• To fix excessive memory usage and logging in large image sequence jobs that cause jobs to get stuck in a running state, add logic to reduce log level if extracting from image sequences. Fix logic to ensure large image sequences are handled in chunks. Fix logic to ensure large amounts of spawned process kill functions are not retained unnecessarily.
• Asset Import: Add a new flag to the Asset import action plugin configuration which will allow to overwrite file on destination location. NOTE: A new action must be created to support this flag. 

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where audio channel layout returned the ‘unknown’ value. Fixed by improving channel layout names so that they match the names supported in transcode profiles. Because this changes the values of returned channel layout names for asset info, added a new Consul KV flex/flex-streamprocessor-service/enableLegacyChannelLayoutNames (default: true) which can be set to false once upstream integration is performed and the legacy names are no longer require.
• Fixed an issue of incorrect mapping of H264 and MPEG2 profile values.
• Fixed an issue where Content Type is not set when image file is uploaded to S3 bucket.
• Fixed an issue in Kibana Logs that were not showing updated User Task data.
• Copy Jobs fails and Expose Key and Secret in the Job history. Fixed logging to correctly sanitize VFS locations.

List of Services upgraded between 2023.6.6 and 2023.6.7

2023.6.6

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Added functionality to import caption and graphic assets included in the AS02 manifest, if they are in a supported caption/image format. Files referenced in the manifest that are located 2+ layers deeper in the directory structure are imported correctly.
• Support channelMix and "audio fill" on output audio profile for stitch and sequence jobs and support transcode actions if some clips do not have audio.
• Enable feature toggle support for Hibernate Second Level Cache to prevent issues with API not returning real time values.
• Job Scheduler: Update behavior to fail jobs to prevent Job Scheduler from processing the same job on each polling cycle when JBPM token is missing for any workflow action job or when the referenced context object does not exist.
• The deleteAnnotationMessageHandler processing on the 'leader' IndexElastic instance unnecessarily retains all messages for 30 seconds, instead of only those that are relevantAdded filtering before handling by IndexElastic for most MessageHandlers, and especially for the ones which use Delayers, to prevent OOM crashes of IndexElastic due to unnecessary retention of all messages.
• Limit concurrent downloads to prevent memory overusage.
• Added <role>=main element to first audio adaptation set in DASH manifest to indicate to the FMP player which audio stream should be played by default.
• EF SDK: Adds new method context.getWorkflowObjectVariables(variablesName) to retrieve an object variable that is a List as opposed to a singe FlexObject. The method gives a useful warning if variablesName represents a singular workflow object variable and advises using the singular method context.getWorkflowObjectVariable(variableName).
• Provide a new property inputDisplayAspectRatio in the media profile jsoin to override detected value for incorrectly encoded sources.
• Patched FFmpeg to seek backwards segment by segment if the initial seek overshoots the desired timestamp. This can occur when segment durations cannot be used for frame accurate calculations when frame rate is 29.97fps.
• Added new optional technical metadata field `channels` which is an ordered array of channels for a channel layout. This ensures that channel metadata id extracted correctly for files with additional channel layout information.
• Changes to Technical Metadata fields may be made, with the exception of changes to start time, start timecode, video stream start timecode, and video stream GOP start timecode.
• Resolved issue creating DASH and HLS packages when commas are included in text or audio stream names.
• Calculate timecode overlay absolute box height based on font size rather than relative text border
• Added support for detection of variable frame rate. If detected the video stream in the job result will have a new property isVariableFrameRate: true.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where a user with no "edit" permission on media asset can delete membership of the asset.
• Support for Summary Panel of Project asset type. Panel has tabs for details, metadata, relationships, access, history tabs.
• Relationship tab: Fixed an issue where the Run option is missing for assets in the Relationship tab. There is no Run action on UDOs and attachments.
• Enhance the scrubbing behavior of Flex Player.
• Calculate video frame rate duration if required BEFORE rejecting zero duration frames.
• Core assets API to return appropriate error codes on permission failure and restrict acesss correctly.
• Fixed issue: Users who lack edit permissions can no longer update asset markers and annotations. A “403 Forbidden” error may be received if updates are attempted by a user without edit permissions.
• Fixed an issue where an incorrect HLS master playlist where a stream is referenced twice is created for audio only packages.
• Added a simple logic check to prevent any changes to detected source asset info if the forced input frame rate equals the detected frame rate.
• Fixed an issue where Pack job fails with format=TAR and compression=NONE.
• Fix colorspace conversion for HEVC source.
• New job listener added globally outside of job processing method for each job executed so that they are not repeatedly added.
• Fixed issue: The recording start time will now be displayed for growing files (live recordings) in the Media Info of the asset in Flex MAM.
• Fixed issue: The correct duration of growing files (live recordings) will be displayed in the Media Info of the asset in Flex MAM.
• Fixed an issue while extracting the waveform on Segmented Proxy.
• Fixed an issue where a Conform action was following for media assets with videoStreamCount > 0. Issue fixed by changing the channel mapping logic to handle audio before video in hires sources when preparing conform job.
• Fixed an issue where a failure in the media processing engine was corrected to prevent “Create Proxy / Transcode” jobs for OPATOM from running indefinitely.
• Fixed an issue where the selected audio stream was not playing when play in the Manage page for an asset with multi audio hls tracks.
• Fixed an issue where Class Inheritance is no longer working In Legacy Groovy script.

List of Services upgraded between 2023.6.5 and 2023.6.6

2023.6.5

From this release all Enhancements and Fixed Issues are delivered together with no differentiation between Dalet Flex and FlexMAM.

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Purge Waveform: Read waveform.json to get name of referenced binary files to purge.
• Support output profile with interlacing e.g. convert progressive to interlace or change field order to support mixed source conversion for stitch and sequence jobs.
• FSP now supports the Keda (Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling) external push-scaler service to trigger job scaling directly.
• JEF scripts now support Hazelcast locks as an option to the default Redisson locks.
• Augment tar/untar support for zip/gzip and also contents listing. Change tar/untar job type to pack/unpack and add new list job type.
• Support forcing check of source folders on object storage before performing folder based copy/move operations in FFP so that the job fails when the folder does not exist as opposed to succeeding but not having any effect so that the fact that the specified resource does not exist is essentially hidden
• Add support for packetCount property returned in assetInfoExtract jobs. Specify the property by setting enablePacketCountExtraction=true or by default with the Consul KV set flex/flex-streamprocessor-service/enableDefaultExtractPacketCounts=true.
• Add heuristic calculation of AVC in MXF bitrate if AVCSubDesciptor is not available.
• Result of FFP list, pack and unpack jobs was extended to include the totalSizeInBytes of the files and folders involved in the operation. The size of individual files is now also included in the following manifest format outputs: SIZES, DETAILS. Folders are now also included in the following manifest format outputs: SIZES, ENTRIES.
• Fix mediainfo stream closing issue.
• Jobs are auto-retried for OptimisticLockException.
• Fixed gap where non-backwards compatibility was introduced in FFP as part of supporting new pack/unpack API. 3 KVs added that support legacy behavior by default and generate a hash file/sha1 file/support batched tar jobs (up to a batchsize of 1000).
• Do not automatically disable truncation detection when transcoding with stream copy if is no clipping is requested in the transcode copy job. Use these KVs to enable truncation detection for package format sources and for codec=copy profiles if no clipping is performed: `flex/flex-streamprocessor-service/enableTruncationDetectionForTranscodePackageFormatSources` and `flex/flex-streamprocessor-service/enableTruncationDetectionForTranscodeCopyCodecWithNoClipping`.
• Optimise the bulk creation of annotations by adding caching. Performance improved by creating batches of annotations with the SDK call.
• Support waveform extraction from segmented DASH packages.
• Fixed an issue with the last modified time function in Azure that was causing Inbox to delete files from Azure folder before import happens.
• Handle scaling of sources with non-even width or height values via scale instead of zscale filter.
• Reduce default caching to prevent playback failing if VFS location has changed after proxy was created.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where file listing fails when filtered out files disappear while listing.
• Fixed a problem where requests for vol, mpd or m3u8 files or those with noCache query param did skip in the memory stat cache.
• Corrected both Dash manifest parsing logic to select correct sub-folder to scan and VFS layer file listing readable stream logic to ensure package format asset info does not recursively list unrelated sibling folders.
• Jobs are auto-retried for OptimisticLockException.
• Fixed an issue where FFP job pods running in EKS do not terminate upon completion of a job and prevent EKS scaling down when there are no jobs to be executed.
• Fixed an issue where Prometheus stats on FFP job nodes are not being observed. Ensure all Prometheus stats are captured on controller/standard nodes so they are not lost on job instance shutdown and are polled for Prometheus collation. There is now counter and gauge for completed and failed jobs.
• Fixed an issue where Pack/unpack job does not work for folder.
• Fixed an issue where a launch and wait action fails when parent workflow has a StringList variable. Issue fixed by adding the string list variables from the endpoint.
• Fixed an issue where .TCD files are created with the wrong format for the TimeCode.
• Fixed an issue where searching against Time fields does not work as expected when user timezone is not UTC. Issue fixed by not apply timezone adjustment when Date or Time metadata field queries specify the comparison value numerically, i.e. in milliseconds since the epoch
• Fixed an issue in SearchElastic: when a "Time" metadata field value is set to a date/time older than 26th Jan 1970, it is returned by SearchElastic as milliseconds past the epoch instead of as a ISO8601 string, causing it not to render in FMP search results.
• Use mediainfo instead of ffprobe for growing MXF files to avoid possible endless increase in growing polling times. 
• Panels App: Fixed an issue where accheckbox inside a complex field with multiplicity & multi option field as checkbox type with multiplicity was not working as expected in wizards and legacy uploader.
• Fixed an issue where the "Type Is Not Video" filter chip was not returning correct results. The isNot condition for more than one variable returns filtered results with the AND operator. 
• Fixed a specific scenario in MPD parsing when only a single segment exists in the DASH manifest. 
• Fixed an issue where there were distorted proxies for EXR frames packages. Issue fixed by adding unimplemented code to ffmpeg to handle larger VLC lookup code sizes.
• Fixed an issue where incorrect frame rate was being retrieved during a JEF Extract technical metadata job.
• Sporadic errors in FSP Fixed an issue where an error polling the growing state of an asset triggered this error Growing state of job is undefined after 4 minutes on other jobs starting at the same time. 
• Fixed an issue where Copy and Move Action from Azure to Azure location was failing for AS02, IMP, Segmented (HLS), Segmented (MPD) Assets.
• Fixed an issue where video preview is not available in FlexMAM.
• Handle waveform extract where multiple renditions for same adaptation set exist.
• Added logic to handle ffprobe pixel format YUVJ420P as being equivalent to YUV420P with colorRange = FULL_RANGE.
• Fixed an issue where Save metadata is failing when user add or update a variable on the associated metadata definition.
• Fixed an issue where saving metadata is failing when user adds or updates the variable on the associated metadata definition.
• Web transfer: Fixed an issue where values added in date field and time field with form type "text" are cleared when adding multiplicity for any other field in the metadata form.

List of Services upgraded between 2023.6.4 and 2023.6.5

2023.6.4

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Added new endpoints to the jobexecutionmanager service to help support JEF-related diagnostics.
• FFP Plugins: Copy/Move (might be others in FFP or FSP plugins) protect moving/copying segmented asset with manifest folder with the same root folder as the Storage Resource base path.
• Give a common prefix to all name identifiers of entries in the `apps` section of Permissions, add FlexXTEND.
• Amberfin: Add a control polling cadence for Amberfin launch actions in JEF configuration. To improve performance, default polling value is 10s.
• Return displayAspectRatioFraction in the asset API and mark displayAspectRatio as deprecated.
• Add event data to indicate what changed to a medadata definition modified event
• Add support for quota service to JEF SDK.
• Add support for MessageTemplate and TimedAction services to JEF SDK.
• Update waveform migration script to support migrating waveforms stored on S3. The core purpose of the migration script is to migrate the waveform files which were generated with the consul KV waveformNewLocation disabled to the new location where KV waveformNewLocation key is enabled. Additional information is available here .
• When using the feature toggle flex/shared/flex-enterprise/featureToggles/queueJobOnCreation, set execution token when job is directly set to queued at the time of creation.
• Add Consul KV flex/enterprise/workflow/ignoreTimedOutState. When set to true the status of a workflow is displayed as Running and not move to Timed Out even if jobs associated to the workflow are moved to Timed Out. Default value is true.
• Support skipping the Global sync job running limit using a Consul KV. Validate the Consul KV flex/enterprise/workflow/enableSyncJobLimitCheck for Enterprise jobs that have flex-enterprise/featureToggles/queueJobOnCreation = true and flex/enterprise/scheduler/job/maxSyncJobsInProgress >1.
• The Description metadata field is now limited to 500 characters.
• Invert the workflow state check in job scheduler to continue queueing jobs as long as the workflow is NOT in pending state.
• Improve the performance of job summary by applying an index on last_modified column of mio_job table.
• Collection service: allow KV to enable recursive collection deletion, regardless of sub collection ownership. Set flex/flex-collection-service/ignoreSubCollectionOwnershipWhenDeleting to force recursive collection deletion, regardless of the ownership of any descendant collections. This is not the default behavior.
• Add index for metadataDefinitionId field in metadata collections in Arango db.
• Add meta tag <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /> to login HTML to prevent search engines from indexing the Flex login page.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where upload failed because when a date and time field in the metadata form used a Text Form type instead of a Time form.  
• Fixed an issue where a Decision script trying to cancel continuously from ExecutionStep and hammering Enterprise with events. Issue solved by maintaining a list of running jobs to avoid bottleneck on cancelled job cleanup.
• Fixed an issue where RioBroker Restore Plugin is stripping Off Top Level '/' path when setting Asset Current Path causing restore to fail due to an incorrect path.
• Fixed an issue where changes in asset metadata do not trigger the update metadata workflow. Issue caused because metadata modified events sent from the metadata service did not include workspace ID, so the event handler used the default workspace ID of the account so events for assets in workspaces could not be used to start jobs. Issue fixed by adding workspace ID to events generated by metadata service.
• Fixed an issue with Events Handlers requests hitting the Events API before the corresponding event has been fully created, resulting in a false error. Fixed by adding retried to the Get Events API /api/events/<eventId>, by default at 0, 1.5, 4.5 seconds, but can include also attempts at 10.5, 22.5, 46.5 seconds. The configuration KV is flex/flex-events-service/getEvent/maxAttempts can be set to any integer 1-6, default 3.
• Fix Mapstruct mapper for legacy script getAsset.
• To prevent corruption of Arrango DB and its being irrecoverable after one host is down. For Spring Boot Apps using Arango: Replication factor of `arangolock` / `dbchangelog` collections should be at least 2. For existing environment collections this should be done manually.
•  Fixed an issue where JEF copy/move Failed when moving Segmented asset. Issue fixed by including the package name in the destination vfs location.
• Fixed an issue where deleting a single external ID via the legacy SDK with Groovy script deletes all of the external IDs.
• Add checkbox for optional configuration parameter to Copy/Move protect moving/copying whole SR if Segmented Asset is in root: support copying/moving if filename manifest==media folder
• Fixed an issue to ensure backwards compatibility for legacy FFP restore jobs after restoreTier property renamed to restorePriority.
• Fixed an issue where FO objectsid endpoint returns inconsistent results.
• Fixed an issue where creating a composition proxy on Flex CPL assets which have the same trackId for audio/video/subtitle sequences was creating proxies with incorrect durations. Issue fixed by creating a single sequence for the same trackId by consolidating all the clips with the same trackId.
• Fixed an issue where Extract Keyframe set the wrong master keyframe.
• Fixed an issue where Task dashboard shows incorrect number of tasks for users that have more then one role (via user group membership).
• Hot folder service: Fixed an issue where errors when retrieving the outcome of async file processing leads to reimporting of all files in resource. Issue was reported for hotfolders configured with max depth ==0.
• Job Scheduler updated to ignore maximum job limit keys with value zero in Redis.

• Fixed an issue where it was not possible to filter on the Created column of the Results table using the Custom Date Range selector.

• Upload with metadata: Fixed an issue where uploading assets using a metadata form containing taxonomy fields with multiplicity fails with a validation error.
• Add support for GXF file format in the Web Uploader in FlexCORE.
• Fixed an issue where Timed action failed and didn't restart. Issue fixed by, a new job being created when Timed Action jobs fails/cancelled and this message is displayed in the job history ` Retry the job again, new job will be triggered`.
• Resolved an issue where JAE/Redis outage leads to QUEUE timeout and job active in 2 nodes. After Timeout, extract waveform cannot be retried because the json already exists. 
• Resolved issue of jobs timing out after being in a Queued state.
• Fixed an issue where JEF Wait for Script gets timed-out instead of running for a long time. Issue fixed by optimizing the volume of jobs consumed by Job Executor.
• Fixed an issue where jobs remains stuck forever with Status pending /running or failed with timeout. The job scheduler is not updated to keep processing pending jobs as long as the workflow is not in pending state.
• Fixed an issue where the Start Session Action was not starting in FlexMAM
• Fixed an issue where Purge action is failing for all Package assets. Issue fixed by updating resource root validation check to consider filename when comparing asset location with storage resource root location.
• Segmented Asset: Fixed an issue where asset preloading is not working in Video manage page when kv "playerEnablePreloading" is set to true.

Enhancements FlexMAM

• FlexMAM: Display Format Variant in Technical Metadata UI. Displayed in technical Medatata tab, Chip filters, Listing of table and tile templates.
• Update `displayAspectRatio` field to use retrieved  `displayAspectRatioFraction` value in Summary Panel, Manage Page, Search Chips, Column Templates. Values are entered in search as fractions.

Fixed Issues FlexMAM

• Fixed an issue where upload failed when the metadata form contains taxonomy fields with multiplicity.
• Fixed an issue so that DateTime Fields (Start Date, End Date, Start Time, End Time and Created Date in metadata and marker display template use the timezone setting for the user.
• Fixed an issue where Codec H264 technical metadata was not retrieved when used in a search filter because the filter display name was H264 instead of H.264.
• Fixed an issue where the search value in the chip bar was not displayed when using searchable icon from the metadata tab. The username displayed in the typehead user field differed from the asset listing and user field selected type. The values for both scenarios were undefined.
• Summary panel: Fixed an issue where it was not possible to play wav or aiff audio from UDO page in Summary panel.
• Bulk Panel: Fixed an issue where the "Add to Collection" and "Edit Metadata" option under Quick Actions for bulk assets are not working correctly.
• Fixed an issue with the date filter modals.
• Return ability to use a shortcut to create clips and to create markers via hotkey on the summary panel.
• Fixed an issue in the Left Collection menu that was sending multiple network calls from the browser so collections are loading information for a long time after page refresh. Issue fixed by adding a cache of 6 seconds when loading sub-collections.
• Legacy Uploader: Fixed an issue where the text “This field is required” appears twice in date type from fields.
• Fixed an issue where wizard progress bar was not updating. Progress bar proceeds for these statuses: Pending, Running, Completed, Failed.
• Fixed an issue when the KV Proxy Preloading is enabled, so that assets are played using the Space bar in asset summary/ manage & reviewer summary/ manage pages on initial load and on reload.
• Fullscreen: Fixed an issue where it was not possible to minimize the screen after selecting the mark with metadata icon and moving to Full Screen.
• FlexMOVE: Added support for BMP files in Flex MOVE.
• Segmented Asset: Fixed an issue where asset preloading is not working in Video manage page when KV playerEnablePreloading is set to true.

• Fixed an issue in the Job Async Executor where numerous "Invalid cookie header" warnings were listed. Fixed by switching to a standard cookie spec.
• Changed the JAE executionStep thread pool (size 1) as the default pool for executing different schedulers of the plugin and JAE core. This change created a common/default thread pool size based on the number of available @schedule methods. Also added KV (flex/flex-jobasyncexecutor-service/job/bufferThreadSize) to add a buffer thread only if needed, default 0.
• Fixed an issue where FlexFileProcessor was failing to restore small files in list of files. Issue solved by not archiving or restoring files128KB or smaller.

• Further fixes for FlexFileProcessor restore job for small file processing.
• Added support for AIFF mapping mime-type in mediacore objects library.
• Fixed and issue with the Collection service where deleting a collection that had a parent collection with specified write ACL access resulted in error.
• Fixed an issue where Event Handler service does not paginate through the Enterprise /api/users/<userId>/accessibleWorkspaces API, so if the user is a member of >100 workspaces, then permission may be denied incorrectly. Issue fixed by increasing the default limit of available workspaces to 1000.
• Fixed an issue where Workflows could get stuck in Pending status due to an issue with checking the workflow limit when a workflow was launched from a Hot Folder.
