- Integrated external playback functionality in category and detail views.
- Updated styles for play buttons to reflect different states (idle, launching, stop).
- Enhanced episode cards to indicate launching and active external playback states.
- Added new computed properties for managing external playback session states.
- Improved user interface for playback buttons with dynamic labels and icons based on playback state.
- Introduced new settings option to show external playback status bar on desktop.
- Updated translations for new features and UI elements.
Update channel.model to import Channel from the local interface file
instead of the package namespace. This fixes an incorrect module
resolution and keeps the codebase consistent with local typings.
Add a new SidebarView union type ('CHANNELS' | 'PLAYLISTS') to expose
possible sidebar view options for consumers of the shared interfaces.
Introduce MPV process reuse and IPC control, and add basic EPG IPC
handlers.
- Add GET_CHANNEL_PROGRAMS and FETCH_EPG ipc handlers to epg.events.ts
to expose fetching EPG data by channel or URLs.
- Rework player.events.ts:
- Export proper bootstrap and add module-level mpvProcess and
mpvSocketPath to track a reusable MPV instance.
- Add sendMpvCommand helper to communicate with MPV via its IPC socket.
- Implement OPEN_MPV_PLAYER handler that:
- Reads MPV path and MPV_REUSE_INSTANCE setting from store.
- Attempts to reuse an existing MPV process by sending loadfile
command over the socket when reuse is enabled.
- Falls back to spawning a new mpv process, creating a unique IPC
socket path, and storing the process/socket when reuse is enabled.
- Adds error and exit handlers to clear stored references.
- Add necessary imports (ChildProcess, existsSync, createConnection).
- Remove/comment unused import block for shared-interfaces and adapt
existing code to the new flow.
Why:
- Enable reusing a single MPV instance to improve resource usage and
provide faster playback switching.
- Add IPC endpoints for EPG to support frontend requests for program
data.
