Large files cannot be published from S3 to Backlot
When users tried to publish a large file (e.g. 165GB) to Backlot from S3, they were met with errors.
Resolution: We have introduced the Backlot Remote Ingest Publish action. This action triggers a remote ingestion in Backlot via an MRSS manifest. It generates an S3 signed URL if the VFS location is S3. However, if it is not S3, the user can map a HTTP URL to the resource.
Keyframe files remain on the filesystem after deleting keyframes from the asset
When deleting an asset keyframe from the UI or the API, the keyframe remains on the file system. This caused an issue for some users, as they needed to sync the keyframes between two systems.
Resolution: Keyframes are now successfully removed from the file system.
Elemental Integration: API fixes and support for profile passthrough
Elemental Cloud support had regressed. This meant that S3 locations were not passed through correctly.
Resolution:
We have implemented the following changes:
Flex Publish: media assets don’t carry membership information when published
When users added an asset to a group asset and then published it, the asset membership information was not present.
Resolution: The list of groups have been updated in Publish and asset membership information is now present.
Plugins
We have added two new plugins in 5.5.3. These are as follows:
Backlot Remote Ingest Publish
Backlot Wait for Remote Ingest
These two plugins work together in two parts:
Note: The Backlot Remote Ingest Publish plugin is an alternative to the Backlot HTTP Publish.
Note: The undo action for Backlot Remote Ingest Publish is Backlot HTTP Unpublish.
Note: The redo action for Backlot Remote Ingest Publish is Backlot HTTP Republish.
