Dalet is excited to present the release of Dalet Flex 2026.2.0

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

Important Notes 

Improvements to Publish Indexing

Customers using Publish who upgrade to this release or later (e.g. to the summer 2026 LTS release) please note:

The Publish Service reindex endpoint now supports a new query useCurrentIndex (default: false) to index into the currently active OpenSearch index. 

• Customers using Publish upgrading to this release or later should Run a Publish Reindex
• Customers upgrading from a version prior to 2024.11.0 LTS (when Search backend moved from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch) should set the query param useCurrentIndex=true to minimize the Publish search API outage period by allowing content to become searchable gradually during the reindex process.

See this article or contact your Dalet representative for more details.

INTERNAL: Migration of RabbitMQ queues from Classic queues to Quorum queues

As part of Flex 2025.12 LTS, the RabbitMQ major version was updated from 3.9 to 4.2. This change requires an extensive update of the RabbitMQ configuration:

• Creation of new queues (typeof quorum)
•  Shoveling of messages from the old queues to the new ones
• Deletion of the old queues (typeof classic)

Dalet Flex

New Features

Support OVH S3 compatible cloud storage

OVHCloud is a cloud storage service that is compatible with S3. From this version, Dalet Flex supports working with assets stored on OVHCloud. Validated as follows:

• OVHCloud storage can be set as a Storage Resource in Dalet Flex
• Import action is supported to and from OVHCloud Storage, including extract technical metadata, create proxy 
• Copy, move, purge and delete are supported for files stored in OVHCloud.

Support list templates for Collections

Until now, the fields displayed in a Collection have been fixed. From this version of Dalet Flex, display templates from Settings > New Template are applied to the fields in a Collection and you can customize the displayed fields to support the metadata in your site. A drop-down list has been added to the Collection interface to select the template to use for your collection. 

NOTE: Sorting and Searching using the columns is not yet supported.

Further improvements for access to remote assets on Satellite Nodes without direct access from main Flex

From this version of Dalet Flex:

• FlexMOVE supports uploading a file via an Inbox configured to use a Remote Storage Resource. The workflow configured in the Inbox Resource is triggered and the file is imported. The imported asset is identified on the main site.
• A Hotfolder  resource associated to a Remote Storage Resource can be scanned by flex-hotfolder-service and trigger a workflow to import a file. The imported asset is identified on the main site.
• In the File Information tab, the Storage Copies of the file imported to the remote SR is displayed with Exists=false until dalet-filewatch-agent is fully integrated.

Prerequisite

This only supports Storage Resources using FILE protocol.

Enable the feature toggle /flex/shared/featureToggles/remoteAssetsEnabled/ = true.

A config parameter, Remote Datacenter, has been added to Storage Resources and Hotfolder to set the datacenter hosting the Storage Resource accessible from dalet-filewatch-agent.

Control file handling behavior for IMP/AS02 import/Import Image Sequence

Add noStrictPackagaeValidation configuration to IMP/AS02 import configuration to control file handling behavior.

Strict mode: Import fails immediately if files are missing or this an extract metadata error

Non-strict mode: Log warning and skip missing files or extract metadata errors. Do not fail the job

Dalet Cut

New Features

Auto-track blur effect in Dalet Cut

From this version of Dalet Flex, you can auto track a region, for example a blurred face, in Dalet Cut, automatically creating the Blur keyframes as needed.

The Auto track button has been added to the Blur effect.

Open Collections in Dalet Cut

From this release you can open Collections in Cut directly from FlexMAM. Use the Open with option in the 3-dot menu on a Collection to open it directly in Cut.  The content of the Collection is loaded in the Browser in Cut.

Launch wizards directly from Dalet Cut

The Wizard launcher icon has been added to the top bar in Dalet Cut.

Flex Xtend

New Features

Display “My Jobs” by default in Job Monitor 

From this version of Dalet Flex, by default Job Monitor shows jobs sent to render on remote AME by the user logged in to FlexXtend and a filter is added in the column header. 

To see all jobs, click the X in the filter.

When you click the Clear Completed button, if you only see your jobs, only your jobs are cleared. If you see jobs sent by other users, a pop is displayed and you can select which jobs to clear. 

Select the Include Canceled and Failed jobs checkbox to clear canceled and failed jobs with the completed jobs.

Naming convention for partial check in of clips

The naming convention for clips uploaded to Dalet Flex through partial check in has been updated to:

<the first 10 chars of the checked in file>-iHHMMSSFF-oHHMMSSFF-DATE-TIME

Ingest Portal

New Features

Support automatic back up recordings

When a user enables the Backup option when scheduling a recording, a second recording AWS instance is provisioned, to ensure content is preserved in case of failure, enhancing reliability for critical recordings.

A backup recording job window is recognizable by a big, beautiful "B".

For backup recordings, you can specifically exclude the Brio that is handling the main recording. Dalet sees it as a rule not to have the backup channel on the same host as the main channel.

Display recurring recording jobs in Ingest Portal and edit recurring jobs (series/single)

When deploying a recurrent recording, the created jobs are recognizable by an icon in their job properties and can be processed individually or as bulk, in terms of edit/delete/cancel requests.

Recurring jobs are indicated on the job’s placeholder by icon.

Changelog

2026.2.0

Enhancements DaletFlex 

• Ingest Portal: FIFO source status icons (FIFO & Rec) displayed in the source panel
• Ingest Portal: Extract Clip panel available for sources configured for FIFO recording. 
• Ingest Portal: Show FIFO active status as a red line on Timeline 
• Ingest Portal: Show FIFO info panel when clicking on FIFO red status line on the Timeline.
• Ingest Portal: Start FIFO recording from 3 dot menu in Source Card
• Support deleting Saved Searches directly from the Saved Searches list.
• Create a backend File Upload API to upload large files over HTTP (using the TUS protocol) via the flex-fileaccess-service and store these on VFS supported storage systems.

• HotFolder: Make asset/placeholder idempotent so that multiple assets are not created on retry. 
• Improve hotfolder import processing when Hotfolder Storage Items have a character case difference in value of name and path. Added a KV
  flex/shared/flex-enterprise/featureToggles/storageItemByNameCaseSensitive/ (default=false). When set to true, the hotfolder respects cases in filename and path and  processes files correctly.   
• Hotfolder Storage Item having character case difference in value of name and path
• Add REST API endpoint PATCH /api/{pluralName}/{id}/thumbnail to update UDO thumbnail details. Partial update is supported.
• Update existing APIs around UDO to return thumbnail details if a thumbnail is available.
• Enhance REST API to return thumbnail image for UDOs after respecting UDO View permissions. 
• FlexXtend: FlexXtend tracks clips and adds missing asset ID so that all imported media is online even if it has been copied from one project to a sequence in another project in Premiere.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex 

• Fixed an issue where FlexMove uploading an asset with a space in front of the filename with FlexMOVE does not process to FlexMAM.
• [Import] Fixed an issue where Import actions were failing with this error: File not found with name: XXX even though the file exists. Issue connected to different cases in the file name and the path name.
• [FlexXtend] Fixed an issue where assets that are copied from another project are not imported by Xtend because the XML metadata of the clip is not copied by Premiere.
• Fixed an issue where file restore from Secondary Storage was failing for large files (>128GB). Issue fixed by importing multipart download process.
• Fixed an issue where growing source media files sometimes appear offline after partial check-in and editing in Premiere.
• Fixed an issue where Extract Metadata action is failing due to an incorrect path when there is a space at the end of a folder name. 
• Fixed an issue where a purge workflow status stays in a running state for an extended period despite the asset being already purged and the associated sub-workflow being cancelled.
• [Metadata Designer] Fixed an issue where not all Object Types are displayed when trying to create a new variant.  
• Create a transcode profile for a video format - MPEG-TS
• [FlexXtend] In sequence XML, change logginginfo tag to only lowercase.
• [FlexXtend] Fixed an issue where some assets are not imported when importing a project. Issue fixed by adding clip tracking for clips that exist in other open projects and adding their metadata to the active sequence project. 
• Fixed an issue where sending a project to a remote AME fails with an `EvalScriptError`.  
• Fixed an issue where when moving to the "Export" tab many lines are added to the HIstory tab.
• Fixed an issue where TC info information is missing in partial check-in file name.
• Improve the errors when create composition proxy job fails when IMF Clip end duration is significantly shorter than the requested sequence length.
• Fixed an issue where an IMF package is not imported if it contains a 2067-2/20XX/PKL schema.
• Improve the error message when Composition proxy creation is failing due to missing or inaccessible files during IMF import: Error updated to include: This may occur if the file is missing or not accessible at the physical location.
• [Xtend Flex] Fixed an issue where Restart render job from Job Monitor does not restart the job after a disconnect from the AME machine. Failure caused because the download to the remote AME did not finish completely before the disconnect.
• Flex Cut: Fixed an issue where errors occur in media playback (mp4 and mpd) when the token expires. Issue fixed by using URL instead of authentication tokens.   
• Fixed an issue where a workflow with a task and wait node with fork and join condition is not processing further when it reaches to join node.
• Fixed an issue where an incorrect tool tip is displayed when hovering over the shared by user name for an asset that has been shared to a third-party user.
• Flex Cut: Fixed an issue where the logout confirmation pop up is overlapped by the Trimmer while trying to logout from Dalet Cut.
• Prevent users from enabling a report definition when the Jasper template file is missing. This avoids failures and NPEs that occur when downloading reports generated from imported definitions without templates.
• Disable the Add To Basket option for purged and deleted assets regardless of the user. 
• Fixed an issue where hybrid search (semantic+keyword) changes to only semantic search after refreshing the page.
• Fixed an issue when a UDOT is created with an associated Metadata Definition (MD) and later updated to remove the MD, creating a UDO using the new configuration and editing its summary results in an NPE.
• Display an appropriate error message when a user performs any search operation without having correct reference Resource permissions. The error displayed should not be a system error but should indicate that the user does not have permission to reference resources.

• Fixed an issue where keyframe extract times are sorted alphabetically instead of numerically causing total length duration calculation issue.
• [Flex] Fixed an issue where the icons for the wizard launcher have a display issue in Dalet Cut.
• Fixed a performance issue on metadata forms containing nested elements, such as complex fields.
• [Xtend Flex] Import Prproj: Fixed an issue when importing a project where clips in the project are duplicated and the media is offline.
