New Features

New default behavior for GET and LIST UDO API (new from 2024.5.24)

NOTE: From 2024.5.24 the skipChildren=false matrix parameter is no longer available as per  FLEX-72379 UDO get and list api to handle children property

• skipSubChildren matrix parameter no longer available for UDO list and get APIs
• skipChildren matrix paramter used with value as false for UDO list and get APIs returns the following message:

False value for 'skipChildren' matrix parameter is no longer supported. 
Please use '/<host>/api/%s/%s/children to fetch the children of an UDO; note that this API is paginated.

- first %s will be replaced with udo plural name

- second %s will be replaced with <udo-id> for list api and actual udoId for get api

Support NRAW and Nikon RED Technical Metadata Extraction (new from 2024.5.24)

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

Support search queries with special characters (new from 2024.5.22)

From this version of Dalet Flex, to support search with special characters, add quotes, " ", around any search query that includes special characters.

List of validate special characters: / ? * < > ( ) . $ % ! ^ & # [ ] { } 

NOTE: In a quoted search query, ? and * are considered as wildcards.

Support creation of HEIC proxy images (new from 2024.5.20)

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 creating FCPXML for SpannedMedia and ImageSequence (new from 2024.5.16)

To improve integrations with external 3rd party post-production solutions, from this version of Dalet Flex, we support exporting Spanned Media and Image Sequences in FCPXML file format using the Export Edit plugin.

Add support for displaying VOL waveforms in FlexMAM (new from 2024.5.15)

From this version of Dalet Flex, FlexMAM supports displaying VOL waveforms. The VOL waveform is generated in Flex using an Extract Audio Waveform action configured to generate VOL, JSON+BIN waveform format. When Dalet Brio performs an ingest, it also generates a VOL file for the proxy asset it creates. 

The VOL waveform is extracted from proxy assets and stored in the same location as the proxy file. FlexMAM first checks if there is a JSON+BIN waveform and uses that and if that does not exist, it looks for a VOL waveform to display. 

Improve API URL validation to improve performance (new from 2024.5.15)

To prevent API calls for asset children causing high DB usage and talking a long time to complete, if the API URL has a double slash even if by mistake, it throws the following 400 response:

{
  "errors" : [ "Invalid URL format: Double slashes (//) are not allowed in the path. Please use single slash to separate path segments. Use the provided flex.request.id to locate relevant logs in the system." ],
  "flex.request.id" : "x_glBxCretZR9Hln9ZQjG"
}

An example of an incorrect call is https://cio.images-mam.org/api/assets//children.

Improve ParameterValidationFilter error messages and logs (new from 2024.5.15)

From this version of Dalet Flex, improvements have been made in the error message and logging for the ParameterValidationFilter. These improvements make it easier for users and for the support team to diagnose validation failures. 

The new error message clarifies the rejection reason, shows invalid parameter and value, and includes a flex.request.id for support reference.

WARN-level logs record rejected parameter, regex pattern (post-whitelist), and guidance on relaxing rules for forbidden values using Consul KV whitelist.

The WARN message has the following text:

ParameterValidationFilter rule failure: parameter value:
<insert value here, on a line of its own>
was rejected by regular expression:
<whatever the regex pattern actually is, after having been modified by the existing KV whitelisting, if any)
This could reflect malicious usage. If after careful consideration the usage is deemed valid, then it is possible to relax of the filter rules by configuring the Consul KV `flex/enterprise/whiteListParamFromXSSFilter` to be a comma-separated whitelist of tags that should be taken out of the regex (e.g. `alert,meta`).

Support publishing events by flex-fileaccess-service (new from 2024.5.14)

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 2024.5.13)

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.

Update Remove ACL plugin (new from 2024.5.12) 

In this version, updates have been made to the Remove ACL plugin. To make it easier to remove all ACLs on assets, the option, Remove All ACL, has been added to the Remove ACL plugin in the Permission Action Type. If this option is selected, all ACLs and the action ignores individual Groups/Users in the configuration. 

The mechanism of all Remove ACL actions has been made idempotent, so that jobs will complete even if they are applied to assets that do not have an ACL or if the Group/User in the action is not valid and an appropriate warning will be displayed in the Job History. Remove ACL jobs will only fail if the Role of the user running the job does not have Manage ACL permissions for the given asset type. 

Lookup search for saved searches (new from 2024.5.12) 

Only the first 25 Saved Searches are displayed in FlexMAM in the left-hand navigation panel. To allow you to find saved searches easily a lookup field has been added in My Searches.  

Improve search to support accent-insensitive and apostrophe-formatting-insensitive searches (new from 2024.5.11)

To improve the search functionality in Dalet Flex to support accent-insensitive and apostrophe-formatting-insensitive searches, the analyser configurations in the index configuration templates defined by flex-indexelastic-service has been updated to use ASCII folding filter.

To use this in Dalet Flex 2024.5.x (LTS): 

• The Consul KV flex/shared/featureToggles/search/asciiFolding must be set to true
• All instances of flex-indexelastic-service and flex-searchelastic-service must be restarted
• A full reindex must be initiated and completed successfully.

Improvements in the JEF Launch Vantage Workflow plugin (New from 2024.5.9)

This release contains improvements and fixes in the JEF Launch Vantage Workflow plugin to cover scenarios that were available previously in the deprecated Enterprise plugin.

• Correct unique reference names for child assets are assigned when multiple outputs are generated by the Vantage workflow.
• Windows file storage location mappings using backslashes are correctly resolved by the plugin.
• Option to use a Wildcard, `*`, in the Vantage Output Name field, to input all multiple output files generated by Vantage as child assets without specifying expected Vantage nicknames. NOTE: When `*`, is any output that has the same nickname as an input will NOT be imported again. So, if the Vantage workflow takes 'Original' as an input, and produces two outputs, 'Original' again and 'Copy', only 'Copy' will be imported.  

Workspace Chips (new from 2024.5.6)

When searching multiple Workspaces at once, the Workspaces selected in the left navigation pane will be displayed as search chips in the global filter bar. Users can deselect a Workspace by clicking it in the navigation pane or by clicking the x on the search chip. 

Improve Type filter options in FlexMAM (new from 2024.5.6)

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
• UDO’S: Display only root UDO

FlexStream Processor updated to use Ffmpeg 7 (new from 2024.5.4)

Improvements to encoding profile settings for proxy creation (new from 2024.5.3)

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.

New download service flex-fileaccess-service (new from 2024.5.2)

From this version of Dalet Flex, 2024.5.2, FlexMAM UI downloads are facilitated by the new flex-fileaccess-service. This improves download reliability and supports resume should a download fail. flex-fileaccess-service improves performance when downloading large assets from S3, Azure, GCS in FlexMAM and FlexREVIEW.

The new 'flex-fileaccess-service' MUST be deployed as part of upgrading to this version and above. If the new service is not deployed, file download from FlexMAM and FlexREVIEW will fail.

Infrastructure for Flex-Vantage Telestream Lightspeed integration: Recording and previewing live (growing) content (new from 2024.5.1)

Vantage Telestream Lightspeed servers are used to accelerate video processing. From 2024.7.0 Dalet Flex supports importing a growing OP1a MXF + H.264 DASH from Vantage Telestream Lightspeed and previewing it in FlexMAM. 

To enable the e2e integration of recording live feeds and previewing the growing media in Dalet Flex, the dedicated "Open Stream – Import Workflow" must be deployed using the preconfigured open-stream-recording-cmbundle. This workflow processes recording files using a proprietary integration protocol. High res and proxy recordings can be recorded simultaneously. Discovery of growing files in the target hot folders triggers two workflows to import the MXF and the MPD files to Dalet Flex and uses filename based pairing to set the proxy asset as a child of the high res asset. 

Mitigate Risk on Segmented Asset purge/move/copy/delete-with-move operations, e.g. MPEG-DASH not in individual and unique folders (new from 2024.5.1) 

When Flex Stream Processor creates a Flex Segmented Asset, it creates a unique folder that contains the manifest file and media files related to the Flex Segmented Asset. When performing copy/move/purge/delete with move the Flex Segmented Asset, Flex was assuming that all relevant objects are auto-contained in the “parent” folder, so it went to the parent container (mpd|m3u8) and performed the actions on this folder.   

MPEG-DASH (.mpd) files created in Flex by a 3rd party, such as Brio, are not created in unique folders but are created in a flat folder that contains multiple manifest files and multiple media files. This means that when Flex tries to copy/move/purge/delete with move files, there is no unique parent file to perform the action on and unconnected Segmented Assets are also copied/moved/purged. This risks impacting other files in this folder not belonging to the Segmented Asset.  

This release includes multiple enhancements and bug fixes that address functionality issues discovered with respect of Flex Segmented Assets. The improvements mean that copy/move/purge/delete with move actions support flat folder structure for Segmented Assets. The implemented checks and fixes ensure that in any case where the folder targeted by the action might contain files unrelated to the Segmented Asset, the operation fails. Instructions on how to identify Segmented Assets that might have  an issue with Asset Import and Purge Action plugin scan be found here. Information on the checks and changes made to Delete/Delete with Move/Purge actions can be found here.  

Dalet Flex Integration with Avid Media Composer (improvements from 2024.5.1 and 2024.5.2)

OpAtom MXF is now supported in Dalet Flex for import, transcode, extract technical metadata and export to support e2e integration from Flex Core, FlexMAM, FlexCUT with Avid Media Composer. Flex Sequence and Flex Edit from FlexCUT can be exported to Avid Media Composer.

In Flex 2024.5.1 additional functionality has been added including these highlights.

• Add support for Spanned Media Asset
• Improved exported ALE properties
• Generate multiple ALE files in case of multiple framerate
• Workflow context variable returned with json list of asset id exported

Improve optimization of volume of jobs consumed by Job Executor

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.

Upgrade to Spring-Boot 3 – Java Apps 

Continued upgrading microservices and libraries to Spring-Boot 3. 

Breaking Change

API/SDK support of pagination in Metadata Designer

FLEX-68933 Pagination not working On Tag Thesaurus and Taxonomy (Metadata designer page)implements a breaking change in the JEF SDK whereby the response of com.ooyala.flex.sdk.services.micro.ThesaurusService#getThesauri is now paginated, with a default results size of 25 (rather than all results). To support this, the return object is now GetThesauriResponse rather than List<Thesaurus>.

Scripts should be reviewed to see if this method is called before upgrading to this Flex version, 2024.5.0.

Update to representation of 23.976 fps framerate (new from 2024.5.6)

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 Issues

NodeJS VFS library in 2024.5.15

 Updates in NodeJS VFS library in 2024.5.15 cause problems when S3 buckets in us-east-1 region are being accessed without a hostname being specified. This might cause jobs to fail.

Best Practice for Naming Files

To prevent issues when playing files, special characters in file names are encoded. Please note the following recommendations regarding the use of special characters in file names.

FLEX-72117 Add SDK method to access job variables

When passing context.job.id (id of job being executed), system generated variables such as accountId, userId, workspaceId are not retrieved. When passing job.id instead of context.job.id in getJobVariables, system generated variables are retrieved.

MAM-8533 In FMP UI, collection permissions are not being followed

There is a known issue that users without create, edit, delete collection permissions can create, rename and delete personal collections in FlexMAM. NOTE: They cannot edit or delete shared collections created by other users.

Dalet FlexMAM

New Features

Apply granular ACL rights for assets and UDOs

From Dalet Flex 2024.3.0, granular ACL rights for read only/read and write access for assets and UDOs is supported. From Dalet Flex 2024.5.0 (LTS), the ability to configure separate ACLs has been fully introduced to the user interface and is fully supported using Flex APIs:

• Selecting View (Read Only)/Modify(Read and Write) rights from a drop down list
• Existing permissions before the new functionality are considered as Modify
• ACL sharing works in conjunction with workspace membership
• View rights – In Summary panel, no title renaming, no metadata update, no delete action, create comment and marker player hotkeys hidden, create comment and marker player actions hidden, no Save button, no Share access, no keyframe options.

• Modify rights – In Summary panel, title renaming, metadata update, delete action, create comment and marker player hotkeys available, create comment and marker player actions available, Save button active, Share access, keyframe options. Start tasks in Task List, complete a Review session including adding comments.

Support UDOs with many children

To improve performance when loading UDOs with multiple levels of nested children, this version of Dalet Flex introduces a new interface for UDOs:

• Pagination
• Load a single page of children at one time
• Configuration of page size
• Breadcrumb bar to indicate hierarchy level

Support SOM (Start of Material) in FlexCUT

This version validates support of the use of SOM (Start of Material) for projects in FlexCUT. The SOM field has been added to the New Project window and can be used to set a value that is used to render material/import to Timeline with a specific SOM.

• Fixed an issue where performing a Purge only file action on an asset removes the asset associated to the file from a collection.
• Fixed an issue where FlexTRACK does not show any data when filtering by workflow start/end time.
• Fixed an issue where Failed workflows do not appear in FlexCORE Workflow Summary table when using the 'Failed' filter.
• Fixed an issue where Parent workflow with multi-nested child workflows does not change to 'Running' when child is retried.
• Fixed an issue where Get API call on a UDO was failing with an exception error due to missing metadata values.
• Changed the input creation logic in FSP to deterministically preserve order of inputs in job spec so that transcoding jobs do not fail.
• Fixed an issue where a parent workflow that has multi-nested child workflows below it does not move to a “Running” state when a when child workflow is retried.
• Fixed an issue where Get metadata API fails when the metadata variable contains an invalid or destroyed object value.  
• Fixed an issue where wizards were handling timecode incorrectly when triggering a transcode job.  
  Consul KV flex/shared/featureToggles/decoupleStartTimecodeEnabled + false alone or together with Consul KV flex/shared/featureToggles/forceAbsoluteTimeInAnnotations = true – absolute timecodes are used for the job.
  Consul KV flex/shared/featureToggles/decoupleStartTimecodeEnabled = true – relative timecodes are used for the job
  NOTE: In a Transcode action: 
  When decoupleStartTimecodeEnabled KV value is false, transcode action configuration Relative Timecode should be set as false.
  When decoupleStartTimecodeEnabled KV value is true, transcode action configuration Relative Timecode should be set as true.
• [AdobeXtendPanel]: Fixed an issue where the 'Any/All/None' dropdown is not visible in the Advance search bar at the left-hand side of the panel.
• OKTA(SAML): Fixed an issue in Okta authentication so that logging with Okta credentials using an email linked to an existing Flex user is not supported and this error is displayed The user already exists as an internal (Flex) user in the system.
• Custom marker annotation's time field display is not considering the user timezone.
• Fixed an issue where the Edit Export plugin was not exporting all the files of a spanned media asset. Updated Edit Export plugin to export all files of a Spanned Media when Edit Asset (.aff file) contains Spanned Media Asset.

2024.5.15

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)

• A KV, flex/shared/featureToggles/forceAbsoluteTimeInAnnotations, to force the use of Absolute Time Code in annotations has been added. When the value of this KV = true and the flex/shared/featureToggles/decoupleStartTimecodeEnabled = false, the timecode of annotations created for a placeholder is not changed when an asset is associated to the placeholder the annotations were created for. NOTE: This KV should not be used without consulting Support first.
• 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 cut project.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex 

• Fixed an issue where annotations created on a placeholder were getting the wrong time code when an asset was associated to the placeholder when working with KV flex/shared/featureToggles/decoupleStartTimecodeEnabled = false. Issue fixed by creating a new KV flex/shared/featureToggles/forceAbsoluteTimeInAnnotations and setting it to true.
• Fixed an issue with in-place metadata merge failures caused by not saving changes to the Name field in Single option value field properly.
• Fixed a Metadata Update issue where the value of the Asset Status was reverting back to the previous value. Issue caused when metadata values are updated whilst a metadata merge is in process. After the merge completes, the metadata reverts to the prvious value. Issue fixed by not merging metadata that has already been merged. To perform this check use this Consul KV flex/flex-metadatamerge-service/performMergeCheck set to true.
• Workflow Designer: Fixed an issue where deleting a node with a transition was causing the browser to freeze.
• Fixed an issue when clipping growing mxf, timecode field of transcoding profile is ignored.
• Fixed an issue where an incorrect GET asset children call over the B2B api (with double slashes) results in high DB usage and slow retrieval of results. Issue fixed by adding a URL validation filter.
• [Profiles] Fixed an issue where validation actions are failing because the Video Codec is being saved in Uppercase and the validation expects lower case.
• Fixed an issue where conform to MXF and MP4 fails for clips created in FlexMAM. Issue fixed by using an MXF transcode profile for non-growing source transcode/clip that produces an MXF output which is CBR and works well with DMT.
• Fixed an issue where FSP proxy creation jobs are failing because the AWS region is not included in the resource storage endpoint because FSP has been updated to use AWS SDK3. Issue fixed in FSP.
• Fixed an issue where residual UDO placeholders are left behind in the collection after the UDO itself is deleted.
• Avoid merging metadata of an object if it has already been merged with the latest metadata definition.
• Fixed an issue where the Single option "value" field is not properly updated in a modified metadata definition. Issue fixed by making saving changes in the Single option value field itself mandatory before continuing.
• Browser hang caused by deleting orphan workflow node.
• Fixed range loop issue with forced engine image sequence asset info extraction on any image sequence with more than 1000 images that was causing jobs to take a very long time to complete.
• Fixed an issue FSP and FFP operations are not working when performed on S3 storage using http  and not https, for example minio storage.

2024.5.14

Enhancements DaletFlex

• JEF Wait for Script plugin: In the script use YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z Date format pattern to find Date variable for consistency with Enterprise API.
• Add new configuration parameter in Launch Vantage Workflow (JEF) action to configure the Variable name used to store the Vantage output response.
• Add a message in Job History providing a reason why jobs/workflows go to a pending state. Messages displayed for these reasons: JOB_DEFAULT, JOB_SEND_TO_EXECUTION_FAILED, JOB_QUEUED_STATE_TIMEOUT, JOB_FAIL_TO_SEND_TO_QUEUE, WORKFLOW_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.
• Add a new configuration field parameter in Launch Vantage Workflow (JEF) action to capture the Media Output Location Name. The format of the name is <variableName>-<fileIndex> and the path is resolved with SR folder mappings.
• Migrate VFS to use AWS SDK V3 for JavaScript.
• Implement support for FSP transcode jobs for growing/live sources. Implemented by routing FSP transcode jobs using growing/live source MXF files to DMT instead of FFMPEG to correctly handle clipping of growing MXF files.
• Support ability to write TCD files for MXF when performing Extract Technical Metadata jobs on assets after a proxy file has been created. This must be enabled at the job level via "mxfTcdSidecarFileOutput": true or via the Consul KV flex/flex-streamprocessor-service/enableDefaultMxfTcdSidecarFileOutput = true.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where authorization was failing for a RemoteSSHScript plugin when using SSH private-public key with Error Auth fail.
• Fixed an issue where JEF Wait for Script with option "Update Workflow Variables = YES" overwrite the values of the workflow variables because FlexContextVariable is matching String as a date type variable on receiving WorkflowContextVariable in JEF Wait for Script. For the fix to work set workflow variable `use_lenient_for_workflow_date_variable_conversion` to `false`, by default it is true.
• Added event publishing from flex-fileaccess-service to log information when downloading files from FlexMAM.
• Fixed an issue where the Launch Vantage Workflow (JEF) plugin does not support configuring the "Variable Name" of the media output and all otputs are stored in the `vantage-media-output` complex so that when a workflow has two vantage outputs the first "vantage-output-media" output variable value is rewritten by the second output value.
• Fixed an issue where in the Launch Vantage Workflow (JEF) plugin all vantage output information is being captured in the single vantage-output-media context using a JSON file containing all the outputs unlike in the legacy launch Vantage plugin. Issue resolved by adding a new configuration field in this format <variableName>-<fileIndex> to capture the output path.
• Fixed an issue where a 403Forbidden response was received from MAM api calling from http://localhost:3000 eventhough this domain is set as a CORSTrustedDomain via a Consul KV. Issue solved by readding support for the consul KV flex/enterprise/CORSTrustedDomains which controls allowed CORS origins in flex-enterprise.
• Fixed an issue where VFS copy/move hangs when S3 source is deep-archive or the output credentials are incorrect.
• Fixed an issue where failure in unpack of one file was aborting entire job immediately. Now a failure in unpack of one file should cause a retry and should not impact other pack files in the sequence.
• Fixed an issue where "%" character for suggested values is not working for tag field in wizard but is working in metadata forms.
• Fixed an issue where exporting an edit from FlexXtend to a target folder in FlexMAM was failing. Issue solved by updating the mechanism of a typeahead type metadata field used in a metadata definition in FlexXtend.
• Disable automatic index creation, to prevent edge-case conditions where cancelling a full reindex requires manual intervention afterwards.
• Sorting logic rewritten to fix an issue where Vantage job input workflow sorting implementation throws an exception for certain inputs.
• Ensure DMT is used for transcode on growing MXF files regardless of output profile using implicit or explicit streams.
• Fixed an issue in Metadata Designer where an Error message is displayed when expanding a Timeline object that has no icon defined for it.
• Fixed an issue where Web Transfer and legacy web uploader are not working and uploads fail with this message UUID string is too large.

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.
• Cap long tags values in Extract Technical Metadata job to prevent jobs failing. Consul KV `flex/flex-jobasyncexecutor-service/extractMetadataTagCharacterLimit`, defaults to 20000.
• 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.
• Image/Group/Keyframe asset preview URL retrieved by fileaccess service
• FlexMAM: Updated Enterprise API to display any existing technical metadata for purged assets in FlexMAM if it exists; otherwise it returns proxy information.
• Add Additional logs and cover for possible caching of null vfsLocation in CapacityResourceLocationResolver.
• Support Extension with shared mimetype (e.g. jpeg/jpg, ps/psd...) in Import Image Sequence plugin.
• 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.
• Improve error handling and documentation for the Event Service API shim in Enterprise.
• Update API documentation so that an UnrecognizedPropertyException thrown during a REST API operation includes information on how to resolve.

Fixed Issues Dalet Flex

• Fixed an issue so that subtitles are available regardless of whether the subtitle track is selected before or after the Play button is pressed.
• FlexMOVE: fixed an issue so that FlexMOVE UI only makes prepare calls when the user clicks on Publish Files button, so that the target workspace can be selected/uodated at any time during the eupload process.
• Fixed an issue where the wrong date was returned when searching a date metadata field using the magnifying glass.
• Increase the font size of the number of search results displayed at the bottom of the Search Results page.

List of Services upgraded between 2024.5.6 and 2024.5.7

2024.5.6

Enhancements DaletFlex

• A “Technical Metadata” tab is now available for image sequence assets.
• A new field has been added in the “Action Configuration” tab called “Complete job on failure”. When enabled, job failures within a workflow will be ignored, and jobs will be marked as completed. If config is set to true and in launch job the complete on failure checkbox is not selected,  the job will be fail. In this case the launch job configuration takes precedence. For decision jobs like decision, multidecision and baton, if these job are configured to complete on failure then the transition value will be always set to “true” , i.e the branch that is configured for “true” will be picked and executed.
• Add 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.
• Improve sorting assets in a User Defined Objects (UDO) page: 
  Sorting will be available on Name, Created and Modified columns on View UDO details page. When a sorting filter gets added, the expanded children are kept open and the sorting is applied to both top level children and then on nested children.
  Reloading the page, the sorting preference is retained and expanded assets remain expanded.
• Populate Media Cortex brands analysis after brand recognition.
• FlexADMIN: Fix the behavior of Default Saved search configuration in FlexADMIN.
• The variable type “Priority” is now available in the JEF Vantage plugin dropdown.
• The size of the file path columns has been increased to support long file paths (up to 2,000 characters) for these asset types: Spanned Media File Info, Camera Card File Info, Image Sequence File Info, and OP Atom File Info.
• If RabbitMQ goes down when a job is in the executor or execution phase, the job failure will be captured, and the job will be retried when RabbitMQ is running.   
• Resource type “OpAtom” has been added to the Flex Enterprise API.
• 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.
• 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.
• Add new optional technical metadata field `channels` which is an ordered array of channels for a channel layout. Added logic to extract channel names from channel layout if they exist and map this new naming convention to FSP channel layout values.
• 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.
• Create feature toggle to optionally always wrap freetext queries with the wildcard character (*). Set the Consul KV `flex/flex-searchelastic-service/featureToggles/wrapFreeTextQueriesWithWildcards to true` to enable this behavior. This improves search results where file names contain underscores.
• 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 Dalet Flex

• Fixed an issue where Untar action is not being completed.
• In Job History, display this warning `Workflow variables has case insensitive duplicate keys [offset, offSet], Fix these keys to avoid conflicts while update/add/delete` to warn that Remove WorkflowContext variable removes variables regardless of case.
• Fixed an issue where rendering a Dalet Cut AAF asset from a growing MXF to a File location was failing because the file is first saved to a temporary location until it is fully rendered and only then it is copied to the final File location. During render Enterprise identifies that the new file did not exist in its final location and fails the job. Issue solved by adding a Consul KV enableConformTargetFileGrowingProgressReport which when set to false allows the JEF Conform plugin to skip reporting the existence of the file until FSP completes the job so Enterprise does not know about the file until the render is complete and does not fail the job.
• 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.
• Fixed issue: Double clicking on an image asset that is the child of a media asset in the Manage page will now open the “Image Manage” page.
• Fixed an issue so that the Wizard button works when you click on the icon or on the text.
• Fixed an issue with the behavior and the display of the TAG typeahed dropdown.
• Asset type icons are now displayed based on object type instead of asset origin, resolving issues with incorrect asset type icons being displayed on child assets.
• Collection ACL: The owner of a collection sees the permission drop down to add/remove permissions. Other users only see the pern=missions column in read only mode.
• Admin app: Create/Enable buttons are enabled/disabled based on the permission.
• Fixed issue: When manually entering timecode into the player to position the playhead, the playhead now navigates to the correct frame. Previously, the playhead position on proxy files with the following framerates was offset by approximately three seconds when timecode was manually entered to position the playhead: 29.97, 23.976, and 59.94.
• 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 issue: Technical metadata extraction is now possible even if the tags contain unsupported characters (e.g., emojis, special characters).
• Flex job execution can move a Storage Resource to Offline when the validation of the storage fails multiple times during the job preparation. Under certain conditions the job was moved to WAITING_FOR_RESOURCE while the referenced Storage Resource was still Online so that the job was stuck waiting for an offline to online transition that would never happen. This fix guarantees that a job is only moved to WAITING_FOR_RESOURCE when the associated source Storage Resource is in Offline status.
• Fixed issues with the French translation in FlexMAM.
• FFixed 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 where VO asset appears as video instead of audio. VO assets are saved as Audio asset types and have an Audio icon.
• Fixed an issue where the Recommendation and search result popups do not reappear if the user selects the check box to hide them.
• Fixed a spacing issue where audio assets timecodes overlapped
• Metadata navigation: Fixed an issue where it was not possible to navigate from one UDO to another using the navigation icon in a metadata instance.
• Fixed an issue where it is not possible to make selections using the asset checkbox.
• Fixed an issue where Collection Item Limit default value is inconsistent (2000 in IndexElastic, 500 in Collection Service). Default value for Collection service now set to 2000.
• [FMP][Marker]: Fixed an issuew where a marker metadata was not saved even if mandatory fields are filled.
• Fixed an issue where asset downloaded files do not include file extension if Accept header is not present.
• Fixed issue: A failure in the media processing engine was corrected to prevent “Create Proxy / Transcode” jobs for OPATOM from running indefinitely.
• Drag/reorder behavior within collections for users with “Read Only” access has been removed.
• 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 the Date filter for the the same day was showing previous day results. The fix deals with all date, date time, duration and time code queries where `from` and `to` are identical in FQL.
• Fixed an issue where UDO listing page shows "Add to" option in the more actions menu instead of "Manage Collection".
• Fixed an issue where Class Inheritance is no longer working In Legacy Groovy script.
• Add missing fields such as UserType to object models and index mapping configurations.

List of Services upgraded between 2024.5.5 and 2024.5.6 

2024.5.5

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Add a flag in Enterprise UI and Rest API so that executed JEF jobs complete irrespective of failure. The flag is set by selecting the `Complete job on Failure` checkbox when launching a job. If this option is selected the job completes even if there is a wrong condition/configuration with this error `ignoring the error based on configuration`. Jobs failed by watcher do not complete since failure is not connected to execution.
• Add to Amberfin requests externalId (Flex Job id) for downstream tracking.
• Add Validation Format Variant + FrameRate (probably PixelRate) not matching in Media Profile Validation.
• Search/Table Template filter: Add Start timecode to filters of Technical in Search and in Table Template.
• JEF Wait for Signal Action (and Timed Action) runs with latest WF variables after resuming, old variables are copied to the job workflow variables with the prefix PREV_WF (+ Enterprise might be 'erroneously' re-queuing Wait for Signal).
• To prevent metadata merge failing, ensure previous metadata instance is deleted if variant of an asset is changed to a variant with no associated metadata definition.
• S3 CRT Client for s3 supported storage based on crtSupportedEndpoints system property.
• Improve the handling of Amberfin job progress.
• 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.
• JEF 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 it varaiblesName 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.
• Short term fix: Change metadata-commons (as used by Enterprise) to ignore ignores any changes to a Timecode metadata field Time component which only modify `;` characters to `:` or vice versa so that metadata can be saved.
• FastObject: Add paginated endpoint to MinimalObject API to retrieve children belonging to a UDO.

Fixed Issues Dalet Flex

• Fixed an issue where a user with no "edit" permission on media asset can delete membership of the asset.
• 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.
• Support for Summary Panel of Project asset type. Panel has tabs for details, metadata, relationships, access, history tabs.
• Job should auto-retry for OptimisticLockException (handle wrapped exception).
• Calculate video frame rate duration if required BEFORE rejecting zero duration frames.
• Hot folder/filesystem: Improve handling of permission issues when listing objects in S3. When a filename contains / or \ or there are files with incorrect permissions in an S3 bucket, a warning message is displayed in Enterprise until the file is renamed, however all other files in the Hotfolder are processed correctly. NOTE: To correctly process files with special characters in the filename, use Source Storage Resource option and the Storage Resource Subpath + Filename field instead of the deprecated Source Resource Item option in the import configuration to import assets.
• FlexTRACK (Operations Dashboard) renders an error page when lacking permission to connect to the app.
• Fixed an issue where jobs are not transitioning after completion. Issue solved by excluding deleted objects when searching by name and type.
• Fixed an issue where the Player progress was showing play complete when first loading an asset. progress at startup.
• Fix Taxonomy overlapping with wizard.
• 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.
• Player: Fixed an issue where the timecode clock in Player was checking during playback.
• Fix colorspace conversion for HEVC source.
• UDO Page: Fixed an issue where an expander icon was displayed on a non-UDO object that has nothing to expand in a UDO page.
• Collection service: Fixed an issue where deleted items in a Collection appear as a blank line. Issue fixed by forcing Arango to use exclusive transactions when updating edges for purged/deleted items.
• New job listener added globally outside of job processing method for each job executed so that they are not repeatedly added.
• Fixed an issue where Flex Login App screen is showing an error. Issue fixed by cancling the caching of disabled account entries in accountHostnameCache.
• Fixed an issue while extracting the waveform on Segmented Proxy.
• [CollectionService] Fixed an issue where SDK cannot filter collections by type (IOC).
• Fixed an issue where an action of type Messages with GET for containing items always fails the first time.
• Conform action: 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 default hostname was added into signedURL for Minio instead of the configured hostname and Vantage jobs are failing. Fix validated for additional flavors of S3 storage, MinIO, NetApp, Wasabi.
• FlexMAM: Fixed an issue where creating a filter on a Time metadata field, by clicking the up arrow to adjust the time closes the and the filter is not created.
• Fixed an issue where it was not possible to enable/disable the manage ACL permission for collection for a role in master user.
• Fixed an issue where a System Error message is displayed when updating assets metadata for variables that have custom permissions.

List of Services upgraded between 2024.5.4 and 2024.5.5 

2024.5.4

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Add SDK method to access job variables
• JEF Wait for Script plugin: In the script use YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z Date format pattern to find Date variable for consistency with Enterprise API.
• 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.
• 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).
• Update blue on black text in FlexTRACK app.
• Added 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.
• Rename browser title page for Ops Dashboard from Operations Dashboard to FlexTRACK.

Fixed Issues Dalet Flex

• Respect account visibility while displaying taxonomies based on account accessibility and visibility.
• Use mediainfo instead of ffprobe for growing MXF files to avoid possible endless increase in growing polling times.
• [Add Marker to Collection/ClipBin] Fixed an issue where markers were added to activated collection/clipbin instead of to the selected collection. Issue fixed by first checking for a selected collection before falling back to the active collection or clipbin.
• Fixed an issue where FlexMOVE was failing intermittently after logout and login. Issue caused by intermittent caching of XSRF token between sessions.
• Fixed an issue where the members of groups are not displayed correctly. If the number of members in a group after adding/removing members is greater than current results shown per page, the members on the non-visible pages are removed from the group.
• Fixed a specific scenario in MPD parsing when only a single segment exists in the DASH manifest.
• Flex Player: Display end time in line in the Player. If the asset is a growing live asset, end time is not displayed.
• Player: Fixed an issue where audio tracks are not displayed properly and they do not have the correct labels. Issue fixed by Shaka player and Flex player consuming labels from the mpeg dash manifest.
• Fixed an issue where Image Transcode is failing on shard storage resource. Issue fixed by implementing changes in JAE so that when sharding is enabled the sharded path is created before checking the file size during the image transcode plugin execution.
• Fixed an issue when audio is not played/ an incorrect audio track is played when playing Mpeg Dash from FlexMAM because of a problem with the synchronization between Shaka player and Flex player. After fixing the issue, correct audio tracks can be played  by manually updating the role in manifest.mpd file of proxy.

• Fixed an issue with the date filter modals.
• Fixed an issue where a clip from marker created in FlexMAM is not usable in FlexCUT. Issue fixed by removing the preferredStartTime from in/out marker clup creation because it was using the wrong time code.
• 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.
• Fixed an issue where the Upload button was not enabled. Issue caused because the CSRF token was not cleared on logout and an invalid token was sent on re-login.
