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.
- screens-admin.jsx S3SettingsCard: when /settings/s3 fails, log to console and surface the message in the existing SettingsMsg banner instead of silently returning empty fields. Also logs the response payload on success so the next "endpoint blank" report is easier to diagnose. (closes part of #15) - screens-ingest.jsx recorder row: wrap the signal value in a dot+text pair; add CSS so the dot pulses green when status=receiving and matches the value color otherwise. The pulse is the kind of cue the Live signal column was missing per #2. |

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)

Tech stack
- Runtime: Node.js 22, Docker Compose
- Backend: Express, PostgreSQL 16, Redis 7 + BullMQ
- Frontend: Vanilla React via in-browser Babel (no bundler), hls.js
- Media: FFmpeg 7.1 with SDK 16 DeckLink patches; ProRes, H.264, HEVC, DNxHR, MOV/MP4/MXF containers
- Storage: S3-compatible (RustFS) for masters + proxies + thumbnails
