The 5-card method picker was rendering at the old 560px dialog width
which left each card too narrow — titles wrapped to 2-3 lines and the
subtitles to 6, all visible in the user-reported screenshot.
Three fixes:
1. Bump the dialog width from 560px → 780px to match the v0.22 mockup.
maxWidth: 92vw keeps the responsive collapse path intact.
2. Replace the inherited "Add via URL" / "Add via file upload" /
"Add Xtreme Code" / "Add Stalker Portal" / "Import from text" tab
labels with short noun-only card titles: "M3U URL", "M3U file",
"Xtream credentials", "Stalker portal", "Raw m3u text". The dialog
itself is titled "Add playlist" so the "Add" prefix on every card
was redundant. The "Xtreme" misspelling on the old key disappears
as a side effect.
3. Lock cards to min-height: 132px so the URL card (short subtitle)
stops collapsing while the Xtream/Stalker cards (longer subtitle)
stretch — selection states now look visually consistent. Slightly
tighter padding (10/11/12 vs 12/14) to fit the new width without
feeling cramped.
i18n: 5 new METHOD_*_LABEL keys translated across all 17 locales by
per-locale agents; placeholder integrity verified across all 920+
leaf keys.

Both ElectronService.listenOn() and PwaService.listenOn() called
window.addEventListener('message', callback) but neither could remove
the listener afterwards:
- ElectronService.removeAllListeners() called a placeholder
getListenerForCommand() that returned a fresh () => undefined function
on every invocation — never matching the registered listener (with a
comment confessing as much).
- PwaService.removeAllListeners() was a literal `// not implemented`
no-op.
The result was a latent memory leak: every listenOn() call accumulated
a global window listener that nothing could remove. Calling listenOn()
twice for the same command also stacked duplicate listeners.
Track callbacks in a messageListeners Map keyed by command name. On
listenOn(), drop any existing listener for that command before adding
the new one. On removeAllListeners(type), remove either the named
listener or all of them (when type === 'all').
The fix lands proactively: grep finds no current callers in the
renderer, so today's leak is theoretical. But the API is exposed via
the abstract DataService and the placeholder comment explicitly invited
the bug. Closing the footgun is cheaper than discovering it later.
Inspired by matracey/iptvnator@df7e1dc — extends the fix to PwaService,
which had the same bug in even more obvious form.

Update info-overlay template to read simplified EPG fields and
avoid indexing into arrays for title, icon and description so bindings
are resilient and clearer:
- Use epgProgram?.iconUrl instead of epgProgram?.icon?.[0]?.src
- Use epgProgram?.title instead of epgProgram?.title?.[0]?.value
- Use epgProgram?.desc instead of epgProgram?.desc?.[0]?.value
- Guard description rendering with epgProgram?.desc
Adjust multi-epg header layout and add search UI styles to support
desktop window chrome and draggable regions:
- Add left padding to #epg-navigation for macOS traffic lights, enable
backdrop drag via -webkit-app-region: drag and set z-index to keep
header above content.
- Exclude interactive elements (buttons, search inputs) from drag by
applying -webkit-app-region: no-drag to maintain native interactions.
- Add extensive styles for a channel search container (search input,
icons, clear button, filter count, animations) and scaffold a program
search container.
These changes improve robustness of EPG data rendering and add styled
search controls while ensuring proper window dragging behavior on
desktop builds.
imports and update dispatch calls
Replace multiple direct or wildcard imports for actions with
namespaced action groups from 'm3u-state' (e.g. PlaylistActions,
ChannelActions, EpgActions). Update dispatch calls to use the
namespaced action creators (for example, setAdjacentChannelAsActive,
setEpgAvailableFlag, resetActiveEpgProgram, setCurrentEpgProgram,
setActiveEpgProgram, addPlaylist).
This cleans up imports, improves tree-shaking and readability,
and standardizes how actions are referenced across components. It
also fixes inconsistent import styles (wildcard vs. named) and
prepares the codebase for clearer action organization.
Refactor error handling for Xtream requests to avoid showing user
snackbars when the request is a portal status check (get_account_info).
Instead of treating these errors as full failures, log them with
console.log to indicate the portal may be unavailable and return early.
Key changes:
- Introduce isStatusCheck detection in electron and pwa services.
- Replace console.error + snackbar with console.log for status checks.
- Only display snackbars for non-status-check errors.
- Add a console.log when pwa response has no payload for status checks.
This prevents unnecessary user-facing error popups for routine
portal health/status checks while keeping errors surfaced for other
requests.
Update default remote control port from 3000 to 8765 in settings
store and component initialization to avoid conflicts with common
development ports and align with the desktop/tauri environment.
Unhide and scope the remote control UI to desktop builds only:
- Restore the remote control block in settings template and guard it
with @if (isDesktop) so the checkbox and description render for
desktop users (previously commented out as not ported).
- Keep the remote control settings section conditionally visible
when the remoteControl form value is true.
These changes ensure desktop users can configure and enable the
remote control feature with a non-conflicting default port.
Filter out pre-release GitHub releases (beta,, rc, preview,
dev, canary, nightly) when resolving the latest app version and
validate release names using semver. Sort stable releases by
creation date and return the most recent stable release name.
Add isVersionOutdated(current, latest) to compare coerced semver
versions safely, handling invalid formats with a warning. Move
version comparison logic from the settings component to the
SettingsService and use the new helper to determine if the
installed app is outdated. This prevents false positives from
pre-release tags and improves version parsing robustness.
Refine MPV/VLC launch error handling in the renderer to extract and show
error.message when available, preventing unhelpful "[object Object]"
messages in the UI.
In the Electron backend, ensure failed MPV instances fall through to
creation by commenting intent, and wrap spawn in a promise to reliably
detect startup failures. On spawn error, clear stored references and
reject with a descriptive message that includes the mpv path. Add an
exit handler, conditional storage of the process for reuse, and proc.unref
for detached runs. Use a short timeout to resolve the promise when spawn
succeeds and log startup state. Convert a silent log to console.error and
rethrow the error to surface failures to callers.
These changes make MPV startup more robust and produce clearer error
feedback for debugging and UI notifications.
