Bridge nodes — connecting other ComfyUI plugins

Any ComfyUI plugin that outputs IMAGE / VIDEO / AUDIO (mesh2motion, IPAdapter, ControlNet preprocessors, 3D nodes, any future plugin) can plug into a ComfyTV pipeline through the bridge nodes.

[any plugin]   IMAGE          [ComfyTV → Image]   COMFYTV_IMAGE        [Image Picker / Upscale / …]
  output    ────tensor─────→     bridge stage    ─────/view URL─────→     ComfyTV stages
                              (Run + snapshot)

The bridge is itself a ComfyTV stage with its own Run button. Click Run, the upstream runs once, the URL is stored as the snapshot; downstream ComfyTV stages then use that snapshot on subsequent Runs instead of re-running.

Into-bridges

ComfyTV/Bridge contains 5 into-bridge nodes that take a native or third-party plugin’s output and pull it into ComfyTV:

Node	Input	Output
`→ ComfyTV Text`	STRING	COMFYTV_TEXT
`→ ComfyTV Image`	IMAGE	COMFYTV_IMAGE
`→ ComfyTV Images`	IMAGE batch	COMFYTV_IMAGES
`→ ComfyTV Video`	VIDEO	COMFYTV_VIDEO
`→ ComfyTV Audio`	AUDIO	COMFYTV_AUDIO

Into-bridges have a Run; their output persists with the project.

Common patterns

Plugin output → ComfyTV downstream

[mesh2motion] ─VIDEO─→ [→ ComfyTV Video] ─COMFYTV_VIDEO─→ [Video Upscale] → …

Plugin output is a multi-frame IMAGE batch

For plugins that output an IMAGE batch but no VIDEO object, chain ComfyUI’s Create Video first:

[plugin] ─IMAGE batch─→ [Create Video (fps)] ─VIDEO─→ [→ ComfyTV Video] → …

Third-party LLM / prompt enhancer → ComfyTV prompt

Any ComfyUI node that outputs STRING (a prompt enhancer, a captioner, a custom LLM) can feed text into a ComfyTV pipeline:

[Prompt Enhance (Comfy-Org)] ─STRING─→ [→ ComfyTV Text] ─COMFYTV_TEXT─→ [Image / Video Stage] → …

File locations

Into-bridges write to ComfyUI’s output directory under output/ComfyTV/bridge/…:

Bridge	Format	Subfolder
Image / Images	PNG (one per frame)	`output/ComfyTV/bridge/`
Video	MP4 (auto codec)	`output/ComfyTV/bridge/`
Audio	WAV (universal, no codec deps)	`output/ComfyTV/bridge/`
