Dalet Flex 2021.12.0 (LTS) Release Notes

Dalet is excited to present the release of Dalet Flex 2021.12.0.

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

Flex 2021.12 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

Plugin Obsoletion

A number of legacy Core plugins are now obsolete in favor of their JEF equivalents.

Obsolete legacy plugins can no longer be created via the Core UI, but existing ones can be edited. This restriction can be overridden via environment feature toggles if necessary.

Flex Camera Card Asset Type

Flex Camera Card is a new package type representing the folder structure of proprietary Camera Card structures (e.g.: Panasonic, Sony, Canon, Redmedia...).
Flex Camera Card references a folder (vfsLocation) and it can have members. Usually, members will be Flex Spanned Media and Flex Media Assets.
Flex Camera Card tracks all the files included in the folder hierarchy. A new Import Camera Card plugin supports integration with Flex HotFolder triggered workflows.

Flex Spanned Media Asset Type

Flex Spanned Media is a new object type representing Camera Spanned Clips, a video take/shoot spanned across multiple files.
Flex Spanned Media behaves as a standard Flex Media asset. It has Technical Metadata, supports Keyframe, Timeline Annotation and it can have children associated (e.g., Proxy transcodes).
Import Camera Card plugin supports importing one or multiple Spanned Media assets on the same job execution and integrates with Flex HotFolder triggered workflows. Flex Spanned Media can be Cloud archived/restored.

Updated Application Security Model for Dalet Flex

The Flex application security model has been updated in line with current best practices, including stateful session management and refresh token rotation.

Automatic Action Configuration Merge

New action plugin versions can now be applied directly to the action configuration without having to recreate it from scratch. This will merge the existing action configurations automatically. The feature can be optionally enabled by an environment feature toggle (Consul KV), and will be enabled by default in a future release.
If the feature is enabled:

• For all Enterprise plugins, configuration changes are always merged automatically
• For JEF plugins, the behavior is configurable when you create the action

Flex Hot Folder Service

A new Hot Folder Service that is inline with JEF has been implemented. The new hot folder service:

• Is scalable and aligned with existing hot folder functionality available in enterprise
• Supports extended features like scanning folders, supports package assets like segmented assets, live assets such as HLS and Dash streams etc.
• Supports specifying a storage resource instead of plain vfs location to scan
• Supports Md5 checksum, sidecar etc.

NOTE: Housekeeping support has not yet been added in the new Hot Folder Service. (Housekeeping is how long file to be kept in hot folder location after scanned.)

Additional features are planned for new hot folder service.

Search by Name in Flex Core

To improve search performance, from this release, Search by Name in Flex Core retrieves results using “starts with” instead of “contains”. This means that for any object with multiple values in the Name field, you should only use the first value in your search query. For example, for an Asset called “Dalet Flex”, search for Dalet and for an Action called ”Add Asset to UDO”, search for “Add”.

NOTE: Search using the global search text box is unchanged. Type any text in the Search for text box and global search will list all objects containing that text.

Storage DR: Proxy

Hot swapping of proxy source Storage Resource (Cloud Storage or File) can be now configured using Folder Resource and a new Selector Policy: Custom Resource Selector Policy.
It is possible to define multiple Storage Resources to host proxy file/segmented assets. Managed asset proxies will resolve to the Storage Resource defined in the Folder Resource Selector Policy.
Proxy Managed Asset now also supports subpath.
Cloning Proxy assets across Storage Resources is not yet performed automatically. This should be achieved using S3 replication or configuring copy jobs at workflow level.

Flex Xtend to Adobe Premiere

Remote Rendering Support for Flex Xtend to Adobe Premiere

To allow quick, continuous work for a video editor, working with Adobe Premiere on Flex assets via the Flex Xtend panel in Adobe Premiere, support of remote encoding using an Adobe Media Encoder (AME) server has been added. Editors who send their project to render will no longer render the media locally, but will instead send the job to a remote AME server, limiting media movement, thus saving costs and time.

NOTES

• Adobe Premiere may run on Windows or Mac OS, but the Remote AME must run on Windows OS
• The remote AME must have access to all media assets used in a project via a shared storage
• Check-in (upload) of local media used in a project is currently not supported

Remote Rendering Support for Flex Xtend to Adobe Premiere – Download of Inaccessible Media
The Remote AME sever is the centralized location for rendering Adobe Premiere projects when using Flex Xtend to Premiere. In cases where the AME does not have direct access to the media designated in a project, that media is downloaded to the AME machine to allow the render.

Users can follow the download progress using the designated progress field, per media asset. Rendering will not trigger until all relevant media has been downloaded to the AME and are accessible.

NOTES:

• Premiere may run on Windows or Mac OS, but the Remote AME must run on Windows OS.
• All media must be referenced in Flex
• Check-in (upload) of local media used in a project is currently not supported

Improve JAE job status message filtering (New for 2021.12.1)

JEF jobs running with Stream Processor or File Processor services poll the status every 5 secs (default value, but configurable at plugin level) and send the status as RUNNING to Flex Enterprise even if there is no progress in the job. This can create thousands of unnecessary posts that have to be processed. To reduce this processing, this feature has updated the behavior of JAE to only send an update when progress has been made in a job.
For backwards compatibility, this functionality uses this feature toggle key:

`flex/flex-jobasyncexeutor-service/executionStep/skipDuplicatedRunningUpdates`

By default the key is set to true. When set to false, all Running messages are sent to Flex Enterprise as before.

Drop Frame Support for Fractional Frame Rates 29.72|59.94 fps (new for 2021.12.1)

Dalet Flex now supports fractional frame rates (29.97, 59.94f) with drop-frame (DF) support. Before this change all 29.97|59.94 were assumed to be non-drop-frame (NDF). This has been updated across the whole platform: from Extract Technical Metadata mapping to API and FMP UI. VideoStream dropFrame boolean property is used to differentiate DF/NDF options.

Technical Metadata Versioning

A “version” attribute has been added to the technical metadata of Flex assets. This will identify how the technical metadata for each asset should be interpreted. Current versions:

1. Indicates changes to support drop-frame (DF) and non-drop frame (NDF) fractional timecodes e.g. 29.97/59.94
2. Indicates changes to use rational number based fractional frame rates i.e. (frame rate * 1000)/1001
3. Indicates the addition of a new field in the technical metadata: formatContext.dropFrame (true/false)
4. Indicates changes of new mapping rules for format.startTime, format.startTimecode, stream.startTime, stream.startTimecode, and added formatContext.startTimecode

Upload captions while publishing video (new for 2021.12.6)

You can upload captions while publishing videos using the Publish to YouTube action. A child subtitle asset(s) designated by a context expression in the plugin is used and the caption name and language is retrieved from the subtitle asset.

Dalet FlexMAM

New Features

Content Recommendation

To facilitate your work, FlexMAM can now display recommendations for similar content when you select an asset in the Search listing. This feature can be enabled from the FlexMAM table settings menu.
Recommendations are based on asset tags, which can be managed from the Details tab on the asset’s summary panel, backed by the Flex account’s tag collection. FlexMAM searches for content that has closely matching tags and displays the most relevant items in the Recommendations panel at the bottom of the screen. Currently up to six recommendations are displayed. The Recommendations panel can be minimized, or it can be closed completely. When closed, content recommendations can be re-enabled from the table Settings menu.

Search Value Suggestions

To improve the user experience when searching in the free text search bar, FlexMAM now suggests possible content results as you type your query into the Search Bar. When you first place your cursor in the Search bar, a list of most recently modified assets is displayed, you can click on one of these to select. As you begin typing, FlexMAM suggests a list of assets that match the text you are typing. You can click on one of the suggestions to open it in its Manage page or type Enter to perform the search as normal. In the current version, matching is only performed on the Name field and will be expanded in future releases.

Restyling of the Admin App

The Flex Admin app has been restyled to find administrative settings more easily. In addition to managing users, groups and workspaces, the Admin app allows you to manage accounts and application settings.
The main menu has 3 options:

• User Management: Manage Users, Groups and Workspaces
• Account Management: Manage Accounts and account themes
• Application Settings: Set Global and per-application settings within the account

Duration in FlexMAM is displayed as HH:mm:ss.SSS (new from 2021.12.4)

Duration in FlexMAM is now represented as Time instead of as TIMECODE, so it is represented in this formatHH:mm:ss.SSS(hours:minutes:seconds.milliseconds). The Duration field is displayed in this way in all relevant locations in FlexMAM.

NOTE:The change in the Duration format was also applied to markers. Markers should be displayed as Timecode and this issue will be addressed in a future release.

UDO access sharing (new from 2021.12.5)

Access sharing permissions can now be applied to Flex User Defined Objects (UDO). This allows you to share a UDO to users who are not already members of the UDO’s workspace. Sharing can be done on the top-level UDO from the FlexMAM user interface and will apply to the entire hierarchy of the UDO (i.e., the parent UDO and all its nested child UDOs). Sharing can also only be applied to UDOs which are configured as Workspace Supported in the Core UI. UDOs can be shared from the FlexMAM (Access tab) and from the Groovy SDK and REST API.

Support setting account preferences for format of video duration in FlexADMIN (New from 2021.12.8)

Option added in FlexADMIN > Application Settings > Global Settings to set the preferred display format for video durations: frames or milliseconds. The duration format is applied in: • Asset table view • Tile view • Asset technical metadata tab

Changelog

2021.12.11

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Add validations to ensure that assets ingested incorrectly to the wrong storage location do not cause all assets in the folder to be removed on Purge.
• Added a common prefix to all name identifiers of entries in the `apps` section of Permissions, and added FlexXTEND.
• Added the ability to associate variantId without metadataDefinitionEntityId to a collection
• Fixed an Invalid Parameter Data issue by enabling support for <video> tags in the API Parameter Validation List.
• Added validation in the Purge plugin to fail a purge job if it tries to delete any directory which is configured as a storage resource root location. 

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where Flex Master was unable to connect to Redis following outage. Redis connectivity is now included as part of the readiness check. Readiness and Liveness check added to Job Scheduler. If Readiness and/or Liveness check fails then Job Scheduler will not process new jobs until both these checks Okay.
• FastObject: Improve retrieving annotation metadata tag fields by caching tag names retrieved from Tag service.
• Fixed an issue where the failure of cancelling a single workflow prevented the cancellation of all other workflows being cancelled in bulk.
• Fixed an issue where assets are moved to UNMANAGED when its associated Storage Resource is disabled.
• Fixed an issue where a Null pointer exception is thrown when converting searched udo to json.
• Fixed an issue where a Review Session Action could not be stopped using the Workflow 'sessionId' variable.
• Fixed an issue where Enterprise delegating to SearchElastic erroneously sets the workspaceId when none has been specified.
• 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 it was not possible to cancel a workflow  when the subworkflow is null. Issue solved by adding a condition to avoid an NPE.
• To fix an issue with running workflows that are not cancelled manually, created a stored procedure to cancel workflows which is running for more than 30 days and above
• Fixed an issue where the metadata instance type ahead UI is broken for fields with multiplicity supported variables. 
• 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 Enterprise API returns an invalid framerate for IMP Asset proxy.

Enhancements FlexMAM

• Remove (old) suggestion endpoint and replace with the graphql suggestion endpoint.
• Pagination control – Display, Set number of items, Navigate between pages

Fixed Issues FlexMAM

• Fixed an issue where search filtering on Technical Metadata for Interlace Format is Top Field First/Bottom Field First was not returning the correct results.
• Fixed an issue with the Jump 10 Minute Forward command in the Player, where if the remaining media duration was shorter than 10 minutes, the playhead would not jump to the end of the timeline, as expected. 
• Fixed an issue where users were unable to set a new variant for a collection from the Details tab. The Save button remains disabled.
• Fixed an issue where metadata value is not displayed for Timecode Field and key value fields in FlexMAM although it is displayed in Flex Core.
• Fixed an issue where the current Date filter does not match the calendar because of discrepancies between the local timezone and the user timezone.
• Fixed an issue where it was not possible to download keyframes in FlexMAM for assets with special characters in the file name.
• Fixed an issue where the time range for a marker annotation in the Listing page did not match the time range in custom marker tab due to an absolute/relative TC issue.
• Search: Fixed in issue where Typeahead search is not retrieving the suggestion and the loader is shown for a long time.

List of Services upgraded between 2021.12.10 and 2021.12.11

2021.12.10

Enhancements DaletFlex

• FastObject: Improve retrieving annotation metadata tag fields by caching tag names retrieved from Tag service.
• Add support to fetch Job, Workflow dashboard summary counts from SQL (by default) in Data Aggregation. Use a feature toggle Consul KV flex/flex-dataaggregation-service/aggregationDataSource to fallback to REDIS.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where errors were sent when FFP was polling a filename that had already been deleted and was not available.
• Fixed an issue in IndexElastic where under load (e.g. full reindex where a number of assets have >10k annotations) communication to FastObject breaks down and renders indexing ineffective.
• SearchElastic: Fixed an issue where GraphQLSuggestions API was displaying this error Expected type 'Int' but was 'Long' by correctly mapping Elasticsearch mapping fields having long data type with Long type in GraphQl schema fields.
• Fixed an issue where it was not possible to delete timeline comments from FlexMAM when Originator_Correlation_Id did not exist.
• Fixed an issue where any update to a workflow definition reset the concurrent workflow limit to zero for that workflow definition.

Enhancements FlexMAM

• Update subtitle method to retrieve subtitles when playing an asset from the player in the Asset Summary panel.

Fixed Issues FlexMAM

• Fixed an issue where it was not possible to see the Collection Type field when creating a collection from Clip Bin. The type field has been added in the Save ClipBin as dialog. It is also possible to edit the Type of a Collection from its Details tab in the Summary panel.
• Fixed an issue where the setting value in the User Metadata field with a name that included an @ did not work.
• Fixed an issue where User Defined Object received incorrect icons.
• Fixed an issue where the My Task section was impacted by actions by other users. The fix ensures that updates made by users other than the current user are isolated from the current user's My Task section.
• Clip duration in ClipBin in FlexMAM respects the Video Duration Format set in FlexADMIN> Application Management > Global Settings.
• Fixed an issue where the “clip created” notification was not displayed when creating a clip from the Player in the Manage page.
• Fixed an issue where creating a clip using a wizard was not working if the asset start timecode/clip timestampIn is 00:00:00.
• Fixed an issue where the Export search results of current page to CSV was not working correctly the first page of results was always exported. Issue fixed by ensuring that the current page number is retrieved dynamically.

List of Services upgraded between 2021.12.9 and 2021.12.10

2021.12.9

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Saving a metadata field of type "Asset" failed when the referenced asset was not located in the user's default workspace. Flex now considers all of the user's workspace memberships when saving these fields.
• Support chunk based parallel processing for stitch jobs.
• Refactor SQL to improve the performance for fetching the failed workflow count.
• Fixed an issue with Indexelastic service not being able to index assets due to nested_objects limit in ElasticSearch, and reporting the error `Request execution cancelled`. A new Consul KV has been added, `flex/flex-indexelastic-service/elasticsearch/nestedObjectsLimit`, to configure the maximum number of nested objects (default of 10000).
• Support stitching AVC codecs with same profile and level but different constraints by adding a logic to use the least constrained set of constraints for AVC1 codec specifications if only the constraint values are different.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where there was an endless loop in ffmpeg transcode when using source clipping and outputting subtitles to DASH. The problem was caused because ffmpeg does not correctly decode EIA_608/708 captions and was solved by filtering these captions from the source.
• Fixed an issue where audio packets were not being sized correctly within audio channel splitter and this was causing transcodes to fail because Flex Stream Processor was reporting the wrong duration.
• Fixed an issue where stitching source assets with differing color ranges was failing with the error `differing color_range on streamconsolidate inputs`. The issue was fixed by specifying default colorspace values for stitch/sequence inputs and safer handling of undefined values.
• Fixed an issue in the legacy SDK where it was not possible to set a drill down metadata taxon field to a taxon when it contains an ampersand.
• Collection service: Fixed an issue where Collection retrieval query is very slow for larger datasets by refactoring the query.
• Indexelastic not able to index assets due to nested_objects limit in elasticsearch.
• Unable to set a taxon value containing '&' character.

Fixed Issues FlexMAM

• Fixed an issue where the reset password button was visible for external SAML users. Issue fixed by adding a condition to only display the reset button for Flex users that do not have external authorization.
• Fixed an issue where unnecessary text is showing before fields in the Technical Metadata tab in FlexMAM.
• Fixed an issue where filtering on a Date metadata field in advanced search in FlexMAM was not working.
• Fixed an issue where the date format was displayed differently in the Summary panel and in the Manage page in FlexMAM. The date format should be the same throughout FlexMAM. The format should be taken from the configuration in FlexADMIN if this is available otherwise the default format should be used.
• Fixed an issue where incorrect fields were displayed in the Summary panel and in the Manage page.

List of Services upgraded between 2021.12.8 and 2021.12.9

2021.12.8

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Support for setting account preference in FlexADMIN to display video durations in frames or milliseconds.
• Add caching headers for images downloaded by Flex Enterprise to /images/icons endpoints in Enterprise.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Investigated and fixed an issue where there was no preview for a proxy asset. This error was displayedThe physical file cannot be accessed. Possible reasons: The file system, containing the file is not accessible/The file has been deleted.
• Fixed an issue where Flex JEF SDK fails to set Date parameters in an Assets Api Query because the date parameters were not being converted correctly
• Fixed an issue where it was not possible to delete timed actions after they were cancelled.
• Fixed an issue where a timed action object could not be exported.
• Fixed an issue where jobs failed when modifying the same UDO structure in different workflows because the locking mechanism was not working as expected.
• Fixed an issue on Index elastic when processing some user defined objects with this error"not one of the values accepted for the Enum class".

Enhancements FlexMAM

• Support for setting account preference in FlexADMIN to display video durations in frames or milliseconds.

Fixed Issues FlexMAM

• Fixed an issue where Clip IN and OUT times are wrongly displayed on Media manage page Clip bin listing tab because the IN/OUT times were sent to the range service in microseconds instead of seconds.
• Fixed an issue where the Asset access sharing tab was not displayed in FlexMAM even though the user has Manage ACL permissions in their role.
• Fixed an issue where the IN and OUT timecode was displayed incorrectly while creating a Custom Marker even though it was displayed correctly once the Custom Marker was created and saved.
• Fixed an issue noted after upgrade to 2021.12.6 where audio and video were not properly synched during playout.

List of Services upgraded between 2021.12.7 and 2021.12.8

2021.12.7

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Improved security when accessing or downloading keyframes.
• Ignore container level color space information received in the file format wrapper if this conflicts with the pixel format for the source color space.
• Assets in a CPL imported with UUID as a member name.
• Vantage plugin returns: Output name(s) + Vantage job id in workflow context variable.
• FlexXtend: Increase the maximum number of FlexREVIEW comments imported to Adobe Premiere Pro as markers to 500.
• Change metadata modified event raised when a taxonomy metadata field changes to display the taxon/tag name rather than the ID.
• Allow legacy SDK scripts to callWorkspaceServiceImpl.getGroupMembers().
• 2022.5.X Assets in a CPL imported with UUID as a member name.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• Fixed an issue where the Sort by function in FlexREVIEW does not work for any of the selected options.
• Fixed an issue where it was not possible to clear metadata values added to markers. The problem was solved by updating the Enterprise API and updating the flex_metadata_service_version.
• Fixed an issue when after importing using Web Uploader, an asset proxy was created but could not be previewed because the media is placed in the wrong location. The issue was fixed by associating the asset being imported to the actual file path and not to the path of the inbox.
• Fixed an issue where there was an error when trying to generate the Checksum and Extract Technical Info on a file that has space in its path. Issue fixed by preventing the trimming of path and name fields when submitting jobs to FSP and FPP.
• Fixed an issue where job priority is not respected if a quota is applied to a resource and a job is set to pending because the quota is full.
• Fixed an issue where Elastic Search was displaying custom markers that have been deleted in FlexMAM. The issue was fixed by enabling a retry if the Elastic Search API throws a conflict response exception.
• Fixed an issue where this error was thrown by DB pruner when pruning a batch size of 1000Error 1406: Data too long for column 'jobsDeleted' at row XXXXX. The error occurs when the total length of the stored procedure output, enumerating all the jobs that have just been pruned, exceeds 65535 characters (the length of a TEXT value). To overcome this limitation the column type for DB pruning temporary column was updated to MEDIUMTEXT.
• DB pruner: To improve performance to prevent slowness when loading modules in Flex Core, changes made to DB Pruner to allow users to modify settings to allow more aggressive running during a maintenance window without impacting other DB users. Possible to configure ‘maxOperationTime’ and the limit on “you’ve run again too soon” is twice the ‘pauseDuration’ instead of being hardcoded at 2 minutes.
• DB Pruner: Issues were noted with the uncontrolled database growth as a result of the automatic scale-back mechanism, updates were made to the automatic scale-back mechanism of DB Pruner to prevent a complete loss of pruning.
• DB Pruner: Improved the logic for performing pruning job based records to solve an issue where performance of PruneCompletedStandaloneJobs SP is abnormally slow compared to PruneCompletedWorkflowsWithJobs.
• Updated flex_sequencemanifest_service to run as root user for 2021.12.x.
• Fixed an issue where an audio track is distorted when rendering an asset from FSP.

Enhancements FlexMAM

• Marker durations in the Custom Markers tab and in the Marker Search Result table are displayed :/;ff rather than ms.

Fixed Issues FlexMAM

• Fixed an issue where audio sometimes plays muted in FlexMAM.

List of Services upgraded between 2021.12.6 and 2021.12.7

2021.12.6

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Added a new index, MIO_WORKFLOW, to improve workflow scheduling performance when the workflow table contains many records
• To ensure that the job quota counters in Redis are synched correctly with the Database and do not get stuck, the time interval between each instance of the timer task SyncJobLimitTimerTask has been reduced.
• Support for channelSplit on output audio profile for stitch, sequence and transcode jobs added. Improved support for handling unknown audio channel layouts across stitch, sequence and transcode jobs added.
• Additional endpoint added to retrieve the entityInfo of an asset associated to a UDO.
• Events are raised whenever a child object is added/removed to/from a UDO.
• Revised the way VFSLocation paths are fetched from the FlexResourceApiFacade cache to ensure that the correct path is received.
• Enable publishing captions in videos when using the Publish to YouTube action. This action integrates with the YouTube Captions API.

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• New external user creation retrieves all existing workspace members and then adds the new user to the workspace by sending it together with the list of existing members. This prevents existing members being removed whilst the new member is added to the workspace.
• Fixed an issue where child assets of an archived asset could not be imported. Fixed by removing a check to verify that a parent asset was not archived.
• There was an issue that a user could not edit a metadata instance that they have rights for because they did not have edit rights to a different multi-option variable instance in the Metadata Definition (that they were not editing). Fixed the issue that was caused by incorrect handling of permissions for empty values in the schema.
• Event accountId is used for filtering visible Event Handlers instead of ownerId. This prevents errors if a particular user is deleted from the system.
• MPEG-DASH plays as HLS in the Flex Review app, in order to allow the use of those formats in Review.
• Fixed a download wizard that did not work because of mistakes in the UI syntax and in the signed URL generation.
• Fixed an issue where job scheduler was not checking resource availability for jobs correctly because of errors in the resource check cache. This was resulting in unresponsive jobs that were remaining in a Pending state.
• Fixed an issue where Asset and Resource listing did not work if a secret is not found in flex-secrets-service.
• Fixed an issue where a user that does not have permissions for a workspace but does have ACL access to assets that are children in a UDO could not see the assets. The issue was fixed by the system checking ACL permissions when a user does not have workspace permissions.
• Fixed issue where Baton QC Plugin was sending malformed xml request.
• Fixed an issue where Legacy SDK was not able to invoke disallowed method: class tv.nativ.mio.api.services.WorkspaceServiceImpl.updateGroupMembers().
• Upgraded FSP to solve a problem of bad proxies being generated by FSP 9.1.5.
• Fixed a fileprocessor issue where a job would indefinitely repeat if the source file has already been purged.
• Removing an Asset from a UDO does not log an event against the asset or UDO object.
• Fixed an issue where FlexStreamProcessor jobs were failing failing after upgrade to 9.1.10.
• Fixed an issue where a Restore Action on an already restored asset does not update the expiry date.
• Fixed an issue where it was not possible to save metadata in the FlexMAM after a script had modified metadata in the same metadata instance. Variable names in a Metadata Definition must be unique. More than one variable with the same name in a Metadata Definition is not allowed.
• Fixed an issue where FlexStreamProceesor stitch job fails.

Enhancements FlexMAM

• Marker tab listing updates.

Fixed Issues FlexMAM

• Changed the styles in table settings to better match the overall design.
• Fixed an issue where the player Timecode field did not update when jumping to a timeline marker. If the timecode field is edited, then the user jumps to a timeline marker, the timecode field will keep the edited value.
• Fixed an issue where the Custom Marker summary page displayed incorrect timecodes for some Custom Marker Templates.
• Fixed an issue where during an asset preview, played audio tracks were switched, instead of simultaneously playing.
• Fixed an issue where playing a custom marker selection did not work properly.
• Fixed an issue where the playhead was not jumping to zero timecode (first frame of the media) when entering 00:00:00:00 in the timecode field.
• Fixed an issue where saving a template failed in Manage Templates.
• Fixed in issue in FlexMAM where the playhead in the player did not jump to 00:00:00:00 when selecting a custom marker with timecode zero.
• Fixed an issue where Bulk Metadata Edit failed for tags, rating, and taxonomy fields.
• Fixed an issue where the wizard drop down list was closing when the scroll bar was released so it was not possible to select a wizard to run.
• Fixed an issue in FlexMAM where the playhead was not jumping to zero timecode when typing in 00:00:00:00 into a comment timecode.
• Fixed an issue where FlexMAM player keyboard shortcuts only work once the user click the play button. After the fix, the keyboard shortcuts for the player are active as soon as the asset loads in the Manage page.
• Fixed an issue in FlexMAM where using the Keyboard shortcut “Space” scrolls down the “Customer Maker” display page. Fixed by updating scroll bars in the Search app so they cannot be controlled by the keyboard.
• Fixed an issue where the vertical scroll bar is not returning to the top of the page after changing the listing page, for example when clicking reload or performing a search query.
• Fixed an issue where field of type Complex with a column layout did not respect user permissions, allowing more than the permitted read-only function.
• Fixed an issue where the download icon appeared on assets that could not be downloaded, misleading the users.
• Fixed an issue where markers IN and OUT displayed incorrect timecodes on markers panel.
• Fixed an issue where the Download button was only available after a clip was played.
• Fixed an issue where the Enter key in the Num Keyboard does not work when searching from the Search bar in FlexMAM.
• Fixed an issue in search queries where variant types were not displayed in the dropdown filter. Issue fixed so that when looking for Variant. suggestions, variants are passed in the resourceTypes parameter and not as an object type so they appear in the drop down list.
• Fixed an issue where the Marker type drop down list was not displayed in the Marker tab when clicking in the Marker header column to filter Markers.
• Fixed an issue where clicking the Save button in the Metadata tab in FlexMAM was overwriting non editable fields.
• Fixed an issue where a workflow wizard launched from the collection did not include the timecode In and the timecode Out, as it does when launched from the Player.
• Fixed an issue where the wrong icon type was displayed for audio assets associated to a UDO.

List of Services upgraded between 2021.12.5 and 2021.12.6

2021.12.5

Enhancements DaletFlex

• Added an option to skip automatic import from the Vantage/Amberfin import plugin
• Improve code which checks for failed workflow for any Asset
• Whilst parsing technical metadata results for MXF files with the Extract Tech Metadata action an exception was returned. The source of the exception was the dropFrame property. To fix the problem , the dropFrame property is derived from FSP.FormatContext.timecode if it exists. If it doesn’t exist, it is derived from videoStreamContext in JobExecution library.
• Fixed issue where running Export Package action on spanned media only exports the first file. This issue was fixed by the system checking if export is found for SpannedMediaAsset, then the Export command reads the files from media context FileInfos and copies those to the target folder specified in the configuration.
• Jobs in workflows were completing but were not triggering the next job. Workflows now always trigger the next job after a job is completed, if configured, solving any deadlock issues.
• Use rational number based fractional frame rates in Java Timecode library (version 2) to store time elapsed by a timecode. This improves accuracy when large timecodes are used.
• Fixed endless loop issue when requesting asset information for images
• Improved how timecode information is captured, stored and delivered
• Output profiles updated to enable specific configuration for explicit or template modes
• Improvements made to job progress reporting: Flex Media Processing Engine (FMPE) reports realtime progress for all jobs including stages and the concept of job history
• Add asset/UDO metadata instance update conflict detection to Core UI to prevent two users from updating the same metadata instance simultaneously
• Add metadata revision support to asset and UDO metadata REST API. The metadata instance revision is returned as an HTTP header when running a GET command.

• Additional information added to the API response when retrieving information from assets so that the correct asset type is retrieved to display the correct icon for the asset type

Fixed Issues DaletFlex

• The drop down selection field defined in a metadata definition used in a wizard was displaying assets that have already been purged from the system. This issue fixed the problem where a metadata asset list displays assets that have already been purged from the system.
• When editing the details of a Timed Action, it was not possible to save the changes due to this error: “Mandatory “Interval” field is missing”. The issue was solved by adding a hidden input field to pass the interval value whilst updating the JEF Timed Script.
• A bug in Core REST API did not return the correct values for fileSize and compressionLevel. To solve this, ImageContext fileSize and compressionLevel changes have been backported to 2021.12.5
• Fixed an issue where deleted assets were not being displayed in the Search results. Issue fixed by adding a condition that if “deleted” is present in the FDL query, the default “only non-deleted” filter is not applied by ElasticSearch
• When converting subtitles to different formats, the output file has a timestamp that is completely different from the input file. To solve this, timestamp in/out is processed as frame or milliseconds timestamp depending on the origin source format of the subtitles. The change is applied to SrtEncoder, TtmlEncoder, WebVttEncoder.
• Fix applied to solve the issue that JEF TimedAction did not supporting expression resolution: 2021.12.x + 2021.5.x

• Fixed an issue where the timestamp was displayed incorrectly on comments created in REVIEW app
• Fixed an issue where the My Task section was impacted by actions by other users. The fix made sure that updates made by users other than the current user are isolated from the current users My Task section.
• Fixed an issue where performing a search using a taxonomy group raised ambiguity in the FQL query resulting in incorrect search results
• Fixed an issue where an audio asset is playing in Audio Player but the slider does not move. Issue fixed by removing the reliance on requestVideoFrameCallback in Audio Player
