Dragonflight - self-hosted broadcast media asset management. SRT/RTMP/SDI ingest via Blackmagic DeckLink, FFmpeg proxy generation, growing-file editing via SMB + Premiere Pro CEP panel, BullMQ job queue, S3-compatible storage (RustFS). Replaces Grass Valley AMPP FramelightX.
End-to-end debugging against a live Premiere Pro 2025 + auth-enabled mam-api
surfaced four real bugs that made v1.0.0 install cleanly but never load,
plus the missing auth flow. All four are fixed and the panel is verified
connected (status dot green, Reconnect button shown, project list populated).
- manifest.xml: a comment in the <Resources> block contained "--" (inside
"--enable-nodejs"/"--mixed-context"), which is illegal per the XML spec.
CEP 12's strict parser logged
ERROR XPATH Double hyphen within comment
and skipped the panel entirely. Comment rewritten without double hyphens.
- manifest.xml: lacked the Version="X.Y" attribute on <ExtensionManifest>
and used a non-standard AbstractionLayers/empty <ExtensionList/>
structure. CEP rejected it with
Unsupported Manifest version ''
Manifest rewritten to the standard CSXS 7.0 schema (ExtensionList +
DispatchInfoList + RequiredRuntimeList), matching the working AMPP
panel template.
- main.js: re-declared `const csInterface = new CSInterface()` at top
level even though CSInterface.js already declared the same binding.
CEP 12 shares script-realm lexical scope across <script> tags, so the
second const threw
Identifier 'csInterface' has already been declared
The throw fired before setupEventListeners(), so the Connect button's
click handler was never attached. This is the root cause of the
original "clicking Connect does nothing" symptom; everything else was
secondary. Removed the duplicate declaration; main.js now uses the
binding from CSInterface.js.
- No auth support against AUTH_ENABLED=true servers. mam-api supports
Bearer tokens (POST /api/v1/tokens), so added:
• API token input field (password-masked) next to Server URL
• localStorage persistence on every keystroke
• window.fetch monkey-patch that injects
Authorization: Bearer <token>
on every request whose URL starts with the configured server.
Signed S3 download URLs are NOT touched.
Drive-by fixes that came out of the same debugging pass:
- Server URL input listener was 'change' (fires on blur); switched to
'input' so typing-then-clicking-Connect immediately commits.
- restoreSettings() now strips trailing slashes from the stored URL so
older saved values like 'http://host/' stop producing //api/v1 404s.
- CSS selector `input[type="text"].server-url` didn't match the new
password input → the token field was unstyled and effectively invisible.
Generalized to `input.server-url`; restructured the connection bar into
`.connection-controls--stacked` (flex column) of two `.server-input-row`
rows so two input fields fit cleanly.
- Build scripts now parse ExtensionBundleVersion from both element form
(<ExtensionBundleVersion>X</...>) and attribute form
(ExtensionBundleVersion="X"), since the manifest rewrite switched
schemas.
Version bumped 1.0.0 → 1.0.1. New artifacts committed at
services/premiere-plugin/build/releases/v1.0.1/ (.exe 2 MB, .zxp 35 KB).
v1.0.0 left in place so editors who downloaded it can verify they're on
the broken version.

Dragonflight
Self-hosted broadcast media-asset management. Replaces Grass Valley AMPP FramelightX. SDI / SRT / RTMP ingest, growing-file editing via Premiere Pro, S3-compatible storage, scheduling, and a queue-driven proxy pipeline.
Repo renamed from
wild-dragon→dragonflight(2026-05-23). The old URL still redirects.
Features
- Ingest — SRT (caller + listener), RTMP, and SDI capture via Blackmagic DeckLink cards (FFmpeg patched against SDK 16.x); per-recorder codec settings (ProRes / H.264 / DNxHR / HEVC) and audio routing
- Growing-file editing — capture writes the hi-res master to a local SMB landing zone; editors can mount the share in Premiere Pro and edit the live file via the included CEP panel, then relink to the final S3 master after promotion
- Recorder scheduler — one-shot, daily, or weekly windows; a 15s tick loop fires the existing /recorders/:id/start + /stop endpoints
- Library — projects, bins, asset detail with frame-anchored persistent comments, right-click context menu (move-to-bin, rename, delete), and a global cmd/ctrl-K search across assets / projects / recorders / jobs / users
- Jobs — BullMQ-backed proxy + thumbnail queue with per-job retry, bulk "retry all failed", and inline error messages
- Settings — S3 (with env-var fallback), global proxy encoder (CPU/libx264 or GPU/NVENC/VAAPI), growing-files config, capture SDK uploader (Blackmagic / AJA / Deltacast)
- Cluster — primary + worker topology with heartbeat health, remote node-agent for off-host DeckLink capture
- API —
deploy/api-smoke.shexercises every endpoint (27 routes, pass/fail summary)
