Zac bab24e156a feat(recorders): probe sources + reflect real signal in main status
Two things that together stop bogus URLs from masquerading as a recording:

PROBE BUTTON in the New Recorder panel. Before you commit to record, hit Probe Source - the capture container runs ffprobe with a 10s timeout against the URL and returns the parsed streams. UI shows green Signal Detected with codec/resolution/fps/audio, or red No Signal Detected with the actual ffprobe error message. For SDI it lists DeckLink devices. Listener-mode sources cannot be probed standalone (would block waiting for a publisher) and the UI says so.

MAIN STATUS LABEL ON THE RECORDING CARD now mirrors the live signal instead of hardcoding Recording. So a recorder pointed at a dead URL goes Connecting... -> Connection error (red) instead of looking like everything is fine. When frames actually start arriving the label flips to Recording (blue) and the dot turns blue. If a previously-good stream drops the label switches to Signal lost (red).

API:
* capture: POST /capture/probe runs ffprobe and returns { ok, streams, format, error? }
* mam-api: POST /api/v1/recorders/probe proxies through to the capture sidecar with a 15s outer timeout

queue 6379 Redis 7 job queue (BullMQ)

Quick Start

# Clone
git clone https://forge.wilddragon.net/zgaetano/wild-dragon.git
cd wild-dragon

# Configure
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your S3 credentials and secrets

# Launch
docker compose up -d

# Open
open http://localhost:8080

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)
