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

New Features

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

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

New FlexREVIEW set as default

From Flex 2023.6.0 LTS, by default the Consul KV flexReviewerAppEnabled is set to true by CS Ops 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.

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.

Changelog

2023.6.1

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Ensured chunk gather sub-jobs are scheduled with high priority to prevent starvation by new chunks from other parent jobs scheduled at the same time.
• Disabled MP3 source file output truncation detection as the source duration is estimated from the file size.
• Provided a Consul KV, flex/flex-streamprocessor-service/enableLegacyImageOverlayLocation, to enable the legacy image overlay which bases location on the source instead of target frame size. As this is an unwanted behavior, only use this where reconfiguring image overlays is impossible.
• Improvements to Wizard Run Rule Expression Evaluation. Improved performance for fetching wizards in the API and UI when there are a large number of wizards configured. Noticeable slow-downs came after about 50 wizards.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where keyframes that were extracted manually in FlexMAM by a user were not loading properly in FlexMAM.
• Add retry on Search operations if Elasticsearch returns a 429 error and return 429 if retry still fails instead of immediately failing the search.

• Fixed an issue where old instances of UDOs are no longer editable and throw an error in Flex CORE UI if their UDOT has been updated after they were created and subsequently had a metadata definition assigned to it. Issue fixed by assigning a default metadata instance to the old UDOs when they are loaded instead of throwing an error.
• Fixed an issue where system metadata was updated on a restart of JAE and possibly causing a reindex, for no apparent reason. Issue fixed by synching the revision numbers of system metadata definitions in Json files with those generated by Enterprise.
• Fixed an issue where AS02 proxy creation was failing for a because of a non-integer sample aspect ratio for specific J2K in MXF files.
• Fixed an issue where extract keyframes failed if the target folder resource is a root folder that does not have a path defined for it. Issue fixed by adding logic to ensure makePath is not called for an undefined path if the path is the root path.
• FSP: Fixed an issue where Create Proxy jobs with chunks  were failing with this error `Error: Job Manager:chunk sub-job failed with error: Cannot read properties of undefined`. Issue fixed by changing the logic for assigning config info between sub jobs and parent jobs for chunk jobs.
• Revert the changes blocking master account entities being seen within the tenant account.

Fixed Issues FlexMAM
