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.

Three problems blocked the end-to-end flow:
1) Library always rendered empty because /assets returns {assets,total} but
index.html (and capture.html) assumed r.data was an array. Fixed in
api.js by unwrapping r.data.assets centrally; total is kept on r.total.
2) SRT/RTMP caller mode pulled audio only. ffmpeg opened the network input
before the H264 SPS arrived, marked the video stream as pix_fmt=none,
and silently dropped it from the stream map. Added -probesize 32M
-analyzeduration 10M -fflags +genpts and explicit -map 0✌️0?/0🅰️0? so
each track survives independently of when it appears.
3) Hitting Record gave no feedback about whether a stream was actually
arriving. capture-manager now parses ffmpeg progress lines (frame=...
fps=...) and tracks framesReceived, currentFps, lastFrameAt, lastError.
getStatus() returns a derived signal enum (connecting | receiving |
lost | error | stopped). The recorder controller gives each spawned
container a stable network alias `recorder-<id>` and the GET
/recorders/:id/status endpoint proxies the live capture status through.
recorders.html polls that every 2s and renders the badge under each
active card with the running frame/fps counter or the ffmpeg error.
Also:
* recorders.html: dropped the listener-mode UI entirely. All new recorders
are caller-mode (pull). The MAM is no longer offered as an RTMP/SRT
server. Legacy listener records still render but read-only.

Wild Dragon
Self-hosted Media Asset Management platform built to replace Grass Valley AMPP FramelightX.
Services
| Service | Port | Description |
|---|---|---|
| web-ui | 8080 | Browser-based MAM interface + capture controls |
| mam-api | 3000 | REST API — assets, projects, bins, jobs |
| capture | 3001 | SDI capture daemon (Blackmagic DeckLink + FFmpeg) |
| worker | — | Async job processor (proxy gen, thumbnails, conform) |
| db | 5432 | PostgreSQL 16 metadata store |
| queue | 6379 | Redis 7 job queue (BullMQ) |
Quick Start

Architecture
SDI Input (DeckLink) → capture service → dual FFmpeg streams
├─ HiRes (ProRes) → S3
└─ Proxy (H.264) → S3
↓
web-ui ← mam-api ← PostgreSQL ← worker (BullMQ)
├─ proxy_gen
├─ thumbnail
└─ conform (EDL → FFmpeg → export)
