TODO

Completed

  • Scaffold Tauri 2.0 project with React + TypeScript
  • Configure Tailwind CSS 4 with custom broadcast-style variables
  • Create Rust backend module structure
  • Implement CasparCG XML parser/generator (quick-xml)
  • Implement Global Config JSON format for profiles
  • Implement AMCP TCP client with async commands
  • Implement DeckLink device enumeration (mock data)
  • Implement system version detection (NDI, Scanner)
  • Create React frontend components
  • Build Zustand store for state management
  • Create TypeScript types matching Rust structures
  • Fix Tauri 2.0 command visibility constraints (remove pub from commands)
  • Fix dialog plugin configuration error
  • Verify pnpm tauri dev runs successfully

In Progress

  • Integrate DeckLink SDK for Windows builds
    • Copy SDK headers to src-tauri/sdk/decklink/
    • Create C wrapper for COM API
    • Configure build.rs for Windows compilation
    • Update Rust bindings to use real SDK

Pending

High Priority (Windows Release)

  • Windows DeckLink SDK integration
  • Test Windows build (pnpm tauri build --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)
  • Code signing for Windows
  • Installer configuration (NSIS/WiX)

Medium Priority (Feature Complete)

  • Profile import/export functionality
  • Channel configuration UI (add/remove/reorder)
  • Consumer configuration forms (decklink, ndi, screen)
  • Video mode dropdown with all supported formats
  • AMCP connection status polling
  • Auto-reconnect on connection loss

Key/Fill Test Pattern Integration

Integrate the test/key-fill-identifier.html test pattern into the GUI for one-click channel verification without requiring the CasparCG client.

  • Test Pattern Server

    • Embed static HTTP server in Tauri backend (or use Tauri’s asset protocol)
    • Serve test/key-fill-identifier.html at predictable URL
    • Support dynamic port configuration

  • Channel Test UI

    • Add “Test Channels” button to toolbar/menu
    • Toggle button sends AMCP commands to all configured channels: 
      CG {ch}-20 ADD 0 "http://localhost:{port}/key-fill-identifier.html?mode=fill&id={ch}" 1
      CG {ch}-19 ADD 0 "http://localhost:{port}/key-fill-identifier.html?mode=key&id={ch}" 1
      MIXER {ch}-19 KEYER 1
    • “Stop Test” clears all test layers
    • Per-channel test toggle in channel list

  • Audio Ident System

    • Implement Web Speech API ident in test pattern
    • Voice synthesis (rate 0.9, pitch 0.9)
    • Stereo test tones via Web Audio API with StereoPannerNode
    • Timed announcement schedule:
      TimeLeft ChannelRight Channel
      :00Intro + left identIntro
      :15—Right ident
      :30Left short—
      :45—Right short
    • Enable via ?audio=1 URL parameter
    • Feed number in announcements matches channel ID

  • Preview Panel

    • Embedded WebView showing preview mode of test pattern
    • Dropdown to select channel for preview
    • Visual confirmation without SDI monitoring

Low Priority (Polish)

  • Application icon and branding
  • Dark/light theme toggle
  • Keyboard shortcuts
  • Undo/redo for config changes
  • Config validation with error highlighting
  • Cross-platform testing (Linux, macOS)

Known Issues

  1. Unused code warnings — Many helper functions in DeckLink and system modules are unused until SDK integration is complete

  2. XML parser incomplete — Currently parses basic structure; needs full consumer type support

  3. AMCP client blocking — Should add timeout handling for unresponsive servers

Technical Debt

  • Add proper error types instead of String errors
  • Add logging with log and env_logger crates
  • Add unit tests for config parsing
  • Add integration tests for AMCP client
  • Clean up unused imports and dead code
