+# Xtream Portal Compatibility
+
+This document captures the Xtream Codes compatibility rules shared by the
+Electron and PWA paths.
+
+## Connection Input
+
+Xtream server URLs are normalized through
+`normalizeXtreamServerUrl` from `@iptvnator/shared/interfaces`.
+
+Rules:
+
+1. Only `http` and `https` URLs are accepted.
+2. URL username/password credentials are rejected.
+3. Leading and trailing whitespace is ignored.
+4. Trailing slashes are removed.
+5. Full API or playlist URLs ending in `/player_api.php` or `/get.php` are
+   reduced to the portal base URL.
+6. Provider subpaths are preserved. For example,
+   `https://example.test/panel/player_api.php?...` becomes
+   `https://example.test/panel`.
+
+The Xtream import form may extract `username` and `password` from full
+`get.php` or `player_api.php` URLs, but stored playlist metadata should keep
+the normalized `serverUrl` plus trimmed credentials.
+
+## Account Status
+
+Account status handling uses `resolveXtreamPortalStatus`.
+
+Compatibility rules:
+
+1. Status text is case-insensitive, so `Active`, `active`, and `ACTIVE` are
+   treated the same.
+2. `auth` values `1`, `'1'`, and `true` can mark a response as active when no
+   status text is present.
+3. `auth` values `0`, `'0'`, and `false` mark the response inactive.
+4. `exp_date` values `0`, negative numbers, missing values, or invalid values
+   are treated as no expiry.
+5. A past positive `exp_date` marks the account expired even when status is
+   active.
+
+Status probes try account-info-compatible Xtream variants in this order:
+
+1. `action=get_account_info`
+2. no `action`
+3. `action=get_profile`
+
+This fallback exists because real panels differ even when they advertise
+Xtream Codes compatibility.
+
+## Request Construction
+
+Electron IPC and the PWA backend both construct API requests by appending
+`/player_api.php` to the normalized portal base URL. They must not append
+`player_api.php` to an already full `player_api.php` or `get.php` URL.
+
+Credentials sent to the API are trimmed before serialization.
+
+## Playback URL Formats
+
+When account info includes `user_info.allowed_output_formats`, the current
+Xtream playlist keeps those formats for the active session. Live stream URL
+construction falls back to the first provider-allowed format when the selected
+application format is not allowed by the portal.
