BirdDog decoder fleet UI
What it does
A single web UI for any number of BirdDog Play NDI/SRT decoders — a fleet control panel for devices that otherwise only have their own individual BirdUI page.
Discover Play units on the LAN or add them by hand, tag each into as many groups as you like, and see or change every BirdUI setting for a selected device from one flat, tabbed view — or push a setting to a whole group at once instead of unit by unit.
- LAN discovery plus manual entry
- Nested group tree — a device can sit in more than one group, and appears under each
- Full BirdUI-parity settings per device, un-nested into one tabbed view
- Batch edits across an entire group
- Also ships as a desktop tray app
- Runs in Docker as well — a published image, on host networking, because the subnet probe and mDNS both have to reach the LAN
Where it stands
Released at v0.2.3; the two point releases since v0.2.1 are dependency maintenance plus a Windows installer that guards its write to the system PATH, which the earlier one could overwrite. Exercised end to end against both the seeded mock fleet and a real BirdDog Play unit — including live reads and a real settings write, routing an actual NDI source to a physical unit's HDMI output. The hosted demo replays recorded responses from the mock fleet; nothing there is live and nothing you change is saved.
