Settings > About now renders "<version> (<short-sha>)" with the full
SHA in the tooltip, so bug reports from test and nightly builds
identify the exact commit. The commit is injected at CI build time into
apps/web/src/environments/build-commit.ts (same placeholder pattern as
the TMDB key inject); PR builds use the real head SHA instead of the
ephemeral merge commit. Local/dev builds keep the plain version.
The semver version itself deliberately stays untouched: a "-sha"
suffix would flip electron-updater into prerelease mode and leak into
installer/artifact version fields.
Requested by WolfganP in #1202.

* feat: add strip country prefix setting
* feat: scope country-prefix stripping to live content and cover missing surfaces
- narrow the heuristic: pipes always strip, dash/colon separators only
when the prefix is a short uppercase tag ("UK - BBC One" strips,
"Sky - Sports F1" and "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" stay intact)
- fall back to the original name when stripping would leave nothing
- scope stripping to live content only: grid type (live/itv/radio),
playback isLive, external sessions without contentInfo, dashboard
cards with contentType 'live'
- cover previously missed surfaces: M3U player EPG timeline header,
M3U inline player title, radio player, dashboard live rails
- replace hardcoded settings strings with translate keys and add
SETTINGS.STRIP_COUNTRY_PREFIX(_DESCRIPTION) to all 18 locales
- add unit specs for the utility plus regression specs for
channel-list-item and external-playback-dock

* test: cover strip-country-prefix call sites for codecov
- dashboard-rail: new spec for cardTitle live/movie/series scoping
- grid-list: strip enabled/disabled, VOD passthrough, 'No name' fallback
- portal-inline-player: live strip vs VOD passthrough
- unified-live-tab: timeline channel name strip + M3U name precedence
- video-player: timeline/radio/inline titles with the setting on and off

Port the embedded mpv frame-copy pipeline to Windows with WGL rendering and named shared memory. Includes packaging validation, platform gates, tests, and architecture documentation.
* spike(embedded-mpv): frame-copy pipeline prototype (helper + shm ring + Electron viewer)
Standalone macOS spike for the frame-copy unification direction from the
2026-07-10 analysis: a helper process renders mpv offscreen into a GL FBO,
reads frames back through an async PBO ring, and publishes BGRA frames into
a 3-slot POSIX shm seqlock ring; a minimal Electron viewer copies the newest
frame via a plain-C N-API addon and uploads it to a WebGL canvas per rAF.
First numbers on M1 Pro (see spike README): 4K60 HEVC hwdec sustained at
60 fps end to end, ~1.2 ms shm copy + ~3.5 ms texture upload, ~10 ms
produce-to-upload age, zero torn frames. Remaining gates: weak hardware,
long-run pacing, HDR, latency flash test.

* spike(embedded-mpv): add RESULTS.md measurement log with M1 Pro baseline
Structured per-machine table with repro commands so the pending Intel Mac
and Windows iGPU runs can be appended and compared one-to-one.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* spike(embedded-mpv): pacing/judder instrumentation + 50/25 fps and HDR gate results
Viewer now measures inter-frame intervals on both clocks (present side and
producer side): stddev/p99/max, late-frame counters vs the producer's median
interval, and a cumulative LONGRUN summary every 30 s. The addon exposes the
producer timestamp (produceMs) for this.
Measured on M1 Pro: 50 fps and 25 fps cadences are clean (late frames only
at startup; residual jitter is 120 Hz rAF grid quantization, bounded by one
display tick), and 4K25 HDR10 PQ/BT.2020 is tonemapped to SDR by mpv before
readback at full rate with unchanged copy costs. RESULTS.md carries the
tables and HDR-clip repro commands.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* spike(embedded-mpv): record 10-minute 4K60 HEVC long-run results
Zero dropped frames and zero torn reads after the first-minute warmup over
~8.5 minutes; steady-state late frames (~0.4%) track the 12 s test clip's
--loop restarts, not the copy pipeline.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* spike(embedded-mpv): viewport-scaling measurement + integration design draft
Confirms the render-at-viewport-size claim (4K source in a 720p FBO costs
720p: 0.17 ms readback / 0.16 ms copy / 0.17 ms upload at 60 fps) and adds
DESIGN.md — the draft integration architecture: per-session helper process
linking bundled libmpv on all platforms (finally full-featured + Wayland-
agnostic Linux), JSON-over-stdio control evolving the Linux wid protocol,
unchanged EmbeddedMpvSession renderer contract, shm generations for resize,
packaging via the existing vendored-runtime tooling, rollout behind its own
flag with the docked path as default.

* spike(embedded-mpv): auto-detect Homebrew prefix and Node headers for Intel Macs
BREW_PREFIX was hardcoded to /opt/homebrew (Apple Silicon) and NODE_INC to
one nvm version; both now resolve via brew --prefix and the PATH node's
execPath, so the pending Intel Mac run needs no Makefile edits. README gets
a fresh-machine checklist.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* spike(embedded-mpv): self-contained measurement bundle for machines without Node/pnpm
make-bundle.sh assembles a tarball with the spike sources, vendored N-API
headers (Makefile prefers them when present, so no Node install is needed),
pre-generated 4K HEVC/HDR10 test clips, and an official Electron dist
download for the target arch. collect-results.sh builds and runs the full
RESULTS.md scenario suite automatically (plus an optional --long 10-minute
run) and writes one results-<host>-<date>.txt to send back. Target-machine
prerequisites shrink to Xcode CLT + brew mpv — built for the pending Intel
Mac baseline run.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* spike(embedded-mpv): support MacPorts libmpv and legacy-macOS bundles
Makefile and collect-results.sh now detect libmpv in the Homebrew prefix or
MacPorts /opt/local (Homebrew is unsupported on legacy macOS like High
Sierra; 'sudo port install mpv +libmpv' provides libmpv there). make-bundle
takes ELECTRON_VERSION/BUNDLE_SUFFIX overrides — Electron 27+ needs macOS
10.15, so High Sierra bundles ship Electron 26.6.10 (LSMinimumSystemVersion
10.13).

* spike(embedded-mpv): scope macOS frame-copy engine to Apple Silicon only
Owner decision 2026-07-10: skip Intel Mac measurements and gate the future
frame-copy engine on arm64. Intel Macs able to run the app at all are a
shrinking 2015-2020 cohort and keep the docked/external/web player paths;
the macOS hardware gate closes with the M1 Pro numbers, and remaining
hardware risk moves to the Windows/Linux ports.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(embedded-mpv): frame-copy helper process and shm frame reader (native layer)
iptvnator_mpv_helper: one-process-per-session libmpv host that renders
offscreen at viewport size (headless CGL + async PBO ring, validated in
spikes/mpv-frame-copy), publishes BGRA frames into a seqlock shm ring with
resize generations, plays audio directly, and speaks a stdio protocol —
tab-separated commands in, JSON events out. The snapshot event mirrors
NativeEmbeddedMpvSessionSnapshot; status semantics (END_FILE reasons,
eof-reached with keep-open, pause gated on loaded path, fatal-only status
flips) are ported from embedded_mpv.mm.
embedded_mpv_frame_reader.node: plain-C N-API reader the preload script
uses to memcpy the newest complete frame into a V8 ArrayBuffer (Electron's
memory cage forbids zero-copy). Stub exports off macOS.
Both build as extra binding.gyp targets through build-embedded-mpv.js; the
helper gets the same libmpv dependency-path rewrite + ad-hoc re-sign as the
addon and is validated by the forbidden-link check.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(embedded-mpv): frame-copy engine wiring in main process and preload
EmbeddedMpvFrameCopyAdapter implements the NativeEmbeddedMpvAddon surface
over a per-session helper process (spawn, stdio protocol, snapshot cache,
graceful quit->SIGTERM->SIGKILL teardown), so EmbeddedMpvNativeService
reuses its polling/diff/power-blocker/recording logic unchanged. The
IPTVNATOR_ENABLE_EMBEDDED_MPV_FRAME_COPY flag (darwin/arm64 only) routes
getAddon() to the adapter and reports engine: 'frame-copy' in support.
The preload frame pump loads the shm reader addon, copies the newest frame
once per rAF into a reused buffer, and uploads it to WebGL2 on the
renderer's canvas — no frame data crosses the contextBridge; the bridge
only gains attachEmbeddedMpvFrameView/detachEmbeddedMpvFrameView. The
experiment flag relaxes the window sandbox for that native require;
contextIsolation and nodeIntegration:false stay on.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(embedded-mpv): frame-copy canvas mode in the player component + docs
EmbeddedMpvPlayerComponent renders <canvas data-embedded-mpv-frame> when
support reports engine 'frame-copy' and the session controller starts/stops
the preload frame pump around the session lifecycle. The bounds provider
skips HIDDEN_BOUNDS and the popover cutout for this engine — the canvas is
ordinary DOM, dialogs and popovers stack above it natively; bounds sync
still drives the helper's render size. Adapter unit tests cover spawn args,
snapshot caching, shm generations, protocol encoding, unexpected-exit
mapping, and dispose escalation. Architecture doc and CLAUDE.md describe
the engine, its flag, and the sandbox trade-off.
Verified end to end in the built app (M1 Pro): engine detection, helper
spawn, lavfi playback onto the canvas via CDP-injected smoke — including an
orientation fix (helper FLIP_Y already yields texture-order rows; the pump
shader must not flip uv again).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(embedded-mpv): close helper stdin on dispose + lifecycle logging
Live testing surfaced a stray idle helper that survived a session switch;
until the root cause is pinned down, dispose now also closes the child's
stdin (the helper exits on EOF) as a second kill path besides quit ->
SIGTERM -> SIGKILL, and spawn/dispose/exit are logged with the session id
so leaks are attributable.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(embedded-mpv): reap sessions when the renderer reloads or crashes
Root cause of the stray idle helper found during live testing: session
teardown lives in the renderer's Angular lifecycle, which never runs on a
renderer crash or hard reload — the main process kept the session (and its
frame-copy helper process / native mpv handle) alive until app shutdown.
EmbeddedMpvNativeService now watches the main window's webContents for
render-process-gone and did-navigate (full reloads only; in-app Angular
routing emits did-navigate-in-page) and disposes every session. Applies to
both engines. Verified live: location.reload() during frame-copy playback
logs 'Disposing 1 session(s): renderer reloaded' and the helper exits
cleanly. Regression test drives both events against the service.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(embedded-mpv): Settings toggle for the frame-copy engine
New 'Embedded MPV: frame-copy engine' checkbox in Settings > Playback,
shown only when the machine can run it (macOS arm64 with the helper binary
present — support now reports frameCopyAvailable). The choice persists to
the main-process config store because the engine relaxes the window sandbox
for the preload frame pump, which is fixed at window creation: main.ts
reads the store before creating the window and sets the engine env var; an
explicitly set env var (including '0') always wins, and the UI shows a
restart hint while the saved choice differs from the active engine.
Localized in all 18 locales.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(embedded-mpv): aspect-fit rendering in the frame-copy helper
The helper now observes dwidth/dheight and renders its FBO at the
aspect-fit size of the video inside the requested viewport, bumping a shm
generation on change — letterbox bars are never baked into frames (the VOD
watch shell's ~2:1 box no longer shows black side bars; the canvas
background is transparent so the sides show the app surface, while
fullscreen keeps its black backdrop). Frames also get smaller than the
viewport when aspects differ, trimming copy cost. Aspect override changes
refit automatically. Snapshots now carry videoWidth/videoHeight, and the
adapter forwards IPTVNATOR_EMBEDDED_MPV_AUDIO_DELAY to mpv's audio-delay
for lip-sync tuning until proper calibration lands.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(embedded-mpv): require frame-copy artifacts in macOS package validation + docs
macOS packages that ship embedded_mpv.node must also ship the
iptvnator_mpv_helper binary and the embedded_mpv_frame_reader.node addon —
they come out of the same binding.gyp run, and a package missing them would
silently lose the frame-copy engine. Covered in the package-identity test.
Architecture doc and CLAUDE.md document the Settings toggle, aspect-fit
rendering, audio-delay passthrough, and the renderer-reload session reaping.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(electron): inline TS helpers so the sandboxed preload keeps working
The frame pump's async/await (target es2015 + importHelpers) made webpack
externalize tslib in main.preload.js. Sandboxed preloads can only require
Electron's built-in module whitelist, so the entire preload script failed
to load and window.electron disappeared for every run without the
frame-copy flag. importHelpers:false for electron-backend keeps the preload
bundle self-contained — and future async code in preload can no longer
silently reintroduce the breakage. Verified live: sandboxed run now has the
bridge, reports engine 'native' and frameCopyAvailable true.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(embedded-mpv): commit the frame-copy analysis handoff + source inventory
The 2026-07-10 analysis that led to this branch now lives next to the spike
(spikes/mpv-frame-copy/ANALYSIS.md), and the architecture doc's What To
Commit section lists the frame-copy engine sources.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(embedded-mpv): address review findings on the frame-copy engine
- Stale pump attach can no longer win over a newer session: attach/detach
bump a shared epoch and async attach waits re-check it after every await,
so an attach for a replaced session aborts instead of installing itself
(greptile P1).
- A failed frame-view attach (no canvas, no WebGL2, reader missing) now
disposes the session and surfaces the error UI instead of leaving audio
playing behind a black canvas (codex P2).
- A stale frame-copy opt-in without the helper binary falls back to the
native engine instead of reporting embedded MPV unsupported, and the
Settings checkbox stays visible while a saved opt-in exists so it can
always be cleared (codex P2). Regression test covers the fallback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(packaging): make the darwin frame-copy packaging test host-agnostic
On non-macOS CI hosts validatePackagedEmbeddedMpv also reports that macOS
link validation needs a macOS host, so the success-path assertion now
checks only the frame-copy artifact requirement instead of expecting an
empty error list.

* docs(embedded-mpv): Windows/Linux porting handoff for the frame-copy engine
Self-contained entry point for porting sessions on other machines: current
state and coordination constraints, per-OS task lists (Linux EGL first,
then Windows WGL + named shm — the decisive iGPU perf gate), the
hard-won gotchas from the macOS integration (preload/tslib sandbox
breakage, V8 memory cage, frame orientation, stale-attach epoch, dispose
escalation, node-gyp naming, snapshot protocol semantics), testing
recipes, and the suggested milestone order.

* docs(embedded-mpv): branching and merge strategy in the porting handoff

* feat(dashboard): TMDB trending rail and hero enrichment (backdrop, badges, S/E)
Two dashboard additions, both async after first paint so the page renders
exactly as fast as before:
Trending rail ("Trending this week", dashboardRails.tmdbTrending toggle,
default on, rendered only when TMDB is opted in AND the Electron DB
worker is available):
- TmdbTrendingService fetches /trending/{movie,tv}/week (one request
each, cached one day per language in tmdb_metadata under
trending:week), merges by popularity; exposed via the enrichment
facade (getTrendingWeek)
- DashboardTrendingService matches the titles against imported Xtream
playlists with ONE batched DB_MATCH_TITLES request, applying the same
two-tier + year-compatibility rule as actor pages; matched cards show
the playlist name and navigate straight to the detail view, unmatched
cards open the global search prefilled (?q=)
- The load fires only after the dashboard's own recent/favorites data
is in (never competes for the worker at startup) and once per session
- DashboardRailCard gained optional queryParams for the search links
Hero enrichment:
- DashboardHeroTmdbService patches the hero with a TMDB backdrop (only
when the item has none), a rating badge and up to two genre chips —
via the enrichment facade, so previously opened items resolve from
the SQLite cache without network; memoized per title per session,
staleness-guarded against hero changes in flight
- Series heroes show the tracked "S{n}·E{n}" badge from the playback
position; the watch-progress bar no longer applies to live heroes
Settings: new dashboardRails.tmdbTrending toggle in Settings > Dashboard.
i18n: 3 new keys translated into all 17 locales via tools/i18n patches.
Tests: dashboard-trending.service.spec.ts (gating, matching, year guard,
single-flight); settings fixtures updated. Docs updated
(tmdb-metadata-enrichment.md Dashboard Integration section, CLAUDE.md).

* fix(dashboard): resolve hero TMDB extras for Stalker embedded-series items
Stalker vclub items carry type 'movie' in activity rows but are TV shows
on TMDB, so the hero's movie lookup found no confident match and the
backdrop/badges never appeared — while the detail view (which resolves
via is_series) showed them. When a movie-typed hero item has no movie
match, retry the lookup as TV: the detail view has usually already
cached that resolution, and misses are negative-cached.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(tmdb): cross-portal "Similar" rail — Stalker gets it, Xtream gains other-portal matches
The Similar rail only existed on Xtream because it matched against the
locally loaded catalog; Stalker catalogs are server-paginated, so its
detail views had no rail despite tmdb_recommendations being cached.
New CrossPortalSimilarService (libs/services) matches recommendations
against ALL imported Xtream playlists with one batched DB_MATCH_TITLES
worker request — the same two-tier normalized-title + year-compatibility
rule as actor pages and the trending rail. Electron-only; resolves to []
in the PWA.
- Stalker: the shared VodDetailsComponent (movies; covers catalog and
inline detail hosts) and stalker-series-view (series) now render a
"Similar" rail from cross-portal matches, each card badged with the
source playlist and navigating into that portal's detail view.
- Xtream: vod/serial detail rails keep instant local-catalog matches and
append cross-portal matches (current playlist excluded, deduplicated
against local hits by normalized exact title), also playlist-badged.
- Loads async after the detail view renders, staleness-guarded; the
section only appears when there is something to show.
Tests: cross-portal-similar.service.spec.ts (PWA gate, navigation
targets, playlist exclusion, type/year guards). Docs updated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(tmdb): drop TestBed from cross-portal similar spec
The services Jest target has no @angular/core/testing (same CI failure
as the cache spec earlier) — construct the service via Injector.create +
runInInjectionContext instead.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(dashboard): address PR review — reactive opt-out gates, retry after empty trending load
- Trending rail and hero TMDB extras now vanish immediately when the
TMDB opt-in is switched off mid-session: the render computeds read the
settings signal through isAvailable/isEnabled instead of trusting data
loaded earlier (Codex P2 ×2).
- loadedOnce latches only after a successful non-empty load, so a
transient TMDB outage on first visit no longer suppresses the rail for
the whole session — the next dashboard visit retries (greptile P2).
- Unified the duplicated heroTmdbExtras() read in the hero computed
(greptile P2).

* feat(tmdb): opt-in TMDB metadata enrichment for Xtream and Stalker portals
Adds an opt-in TMDB integration (Settings > Metadata) that enriches
detail views with a field-level merge — the provider stays authoritative
for stream data, TMDB fills editorial fields when the match is confident.
Enrichment:
- Movie/series details: plot, cast (avatar chips), director, genres,
rating, poster/backdrop, official YouTube trailers
- Confidence-gated matching: provider tmdb_id trusted; otherwise
normalized-title search with year gate (±1; series accept earlier
premieres), season-suffix stripping, Cyrillic search-language override,
and language-prefix fallback variants
- Lazy season/episode enrichment: real episode names, overviews, stills
- "Similar" rail (Xtream): TMDB recommendations matched to the catalog
- Actor pages per portal with full filmography, availability filter and
an Electron-only "All portals" scope backed by a batched DB_MATCH_TITLES
worker op over the trigram FTS index
Infrastructure:
- SQLite cache table tmdb_metadata (details, search verdicts, seasons,
persons; per-language, TTL-guarded), in-memory fallback for the PWA
- Settings: enable toggle, own-API-key override with a live "check key"
button; TMDB attribution in Settings and About
- Embedded key stays an empty placeholder; CI injects TMDB_API_KEY via
tools/tmdb/inject-tmdb-key.mjs when the secret is configured
- normalizeTitle shared between renderer and DB worker
- CSP: allow YouTube embeds (frame-src was 'none'; trailers never worked)
Fixes and refactors along the way:
- fix(stalker): Advanced Search sent bare get_ordered_list requests and
skipped the auth handshake when isFullStalkerPortal was missing on the
active-playlist meta — full portals answered "Authorization failed."
and search looked empty; now mirrors the catalog request shape and
routes through makeAuthenticatedRequest with URL-based detection
- fix(stalker): TMDB fields survive info re-normalization; detail views
prefer the store copy patched by async enrichment over stale snapshots
- refactor(xtream): split oversized vod/serial detail components into
component-scoped playback services; detail routes re-initialize on
route param changes (router reuses them for detail-to-detail nav)
- i18n: all new keys translated across the 18 locales
Docs: docs/architecture/tmdb-metadata-enrichment.md + CLAUDE.md updates.

* fix(tmdb): provide route params observable to inline collection details, linearize regexes
The global-collection inline detail host builds a fake ActivatedRoute for
VodDetailsRouteComponent/SerialDetailsComponent with only snapshot.params.
Since the detail components now read route.params via toSignal() (detail->
detail re-init), the missing observable crashed component construction and
the content hero never rendered — broke dashboard-activation, favorites and
recent Electron E2E on all platforms. Provide the params observable
alongside the snapshot and assert it in the component spec.
Also resolves both CodeQL js/polynomial-redos alerts: bracket-stripping in
normalizeTitle now excludes opening delimiters inside the classes, and
youtubeEmbedUrl extracts watch?v= ids with a linear two-pass match instead
of "watch\?.*v=". Combining-diacritics range rewritten as explicit \u
escapes (greptile note).

* fix(tmdb): surface TMDB-only VOD score in the rating badge, drop youtube.com from CSP
Review follow-ups on PR #1123: the Xtream VOD detail badge renders
rating_imdb, but the merge wrote the TMDB score only into `rating`, so a
TMDB-only score was never displayed (Codex P2) — fill rating_imdb when the
provider left it empty, mirroring the Stalker merge. All trailer iframes
are normalized to youtube-nocookie.com, so the extra youtube.com frame-src
allowance was dead surface (greptile) — removed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(tmdb): resolve confirmed review findings — matching correctness, race guards, cache schema
Fixes the confirmed findings from the PR #1123 code review:
- Stalker search: setSelectedContentType now runs BEFORE setSelectedItem,
so the TMDB enrichment gate in the selection hook no longer sees the
content type of the previously open tab (wrong/no enrichment after
ITV -> search -> movie).
- Title normalization is now two-tier (normalizeTitleKeys): the exact
normalized form keeps a trailing year, the base form strips it and
remembers the tag. Year stripping is anchored to the end of the title
("2001: A Space Odyssey" keeps its year) and language-prefix stripping
is UPPERCASE-only ("It: Chapter Two" is no longer amputated).
- All catalog matching (similar rail, actor pages, DB worker
DB_MATCH_TITLES) compares exact forms first and only accepts
year-stripped matches when the stripped tag is year-compatible (+-1)
with the TMDB year — "Blade Runner" (1982) can no longer claim a
catalog "Blade Runner 2049". CatalogTitleMatch carries the stripped
trailingYear so the renderer can apply the guard to worker matches.
- mergedBackdrops tolerates a plain-string backdrop_path; enrichment
merge+patch blocks are wrapped in try/catch so a malformed provider
payload can no longer become an unhandled rejection.
- loadGlobalMatches (both actor routes) guards against actor->actor
navigation races — a slow match for the previous person no longer
overwrites the current one's results.
- tmdb_metadata media_type CHECK widened to ('movie','tv','person') and
person rows now use the honest 'person' type (TmdbCacheMediaType).
Pre-release dev DBs with the narrow CHECK are rebuilt in place — the
table is a pure cache, so the migration is a self-healing
drop-and-recreate keyed off sqlite_master.
Docs updated (tmdb-metadata-enrichment.md, CLAUDE.md). New regression
coverage: title-normalization.util.spec.ts, two-tier cases in
tmdb-similar.util.spec.ts and title-match.operations.spec.ts.

* feat(epg): add vertical list view for the live EPG panel
Add an EPG list view — a vertical, single-day programme list — as an
alternative rendering of the live EPG panel, selectable via a new
Settings → EPG → "Guide view" toggle (epgViewMode: 'timeline' | 'list',
default 'timeline' so existing users see no change).
- New EpgListViewComponent (app-epg-list-view) mirrors
EpgTimelineComponent's input/output contract 1:1, so all four live
hosts (M3U player, unified live tab, Xtream, Stalker) swap the panel
with a plain @if and identical bindings.
- Reuses the shared view-agnostic EPG modules (classifyTimelineWhen,
hasProgramsForDateKey, epg-archive.util catch-up gating,
epg-summary.util collapsed-summary maths, epg-date helpers,
EpgProgrammeDialogService, app-epg-timeline-empty-state) — no
duplicated logic.
- Rows show time range, title, optional description, live progress on
the on-air row, catch-up "Watch" on past rows when archive playback
is available, and a details dialog; keyboard activation guards
nested buttons (target === currentTarget).
- Auto-focuses the on-air row on channel select, restores it across
collapse/expand remounts, and shows a sticky in-flow "On now" strip
(never overlaying rows) when the current programme is scrolled away;
all scroll maths is rect-based relative to the scroller.
- List mode raises only the inline panel height via an epg--list
modifier (--epg-inline-height clamp); timeline and collapsed heights
are unchanged.
- Setting flows end-to-end (Settings interface → DEFAULT_SETTINGS →
SettingsStore/StorageMap → segmented control in the EPG section);
Electron-only UI, PWA stays on the timeline default. i18n keys added
to all 18 locales.
- Tests: new component/row/utils/scroll-controller specs, settings
persistence spec, swap tests in all four host specs, and Electron
E2E for the settings round-trip and the rendered list view. Docs

* fix(epg): address list-view review findings from Codex and Greptile
- Reset the list view to today when a new channel's programme set
arrives while the user is parked on another day (timeline parity):
the scroll controller now keys by the full programme-set identity
(programsFocusKey) and commits today before focusing, instead of
silently stranding the new channel on the stale day. (Codex P2)
- Centralise the 'timeline' fallback as a resolvedEpgViewMode computed
on SettingsStore; the four live hosts consume the derived signal
instead of duplicating the `?? 'timeline'` expression. (Greptile P2)
- Extract the component's reactive plumbing into
registerEpgListViewEffects(), bringing the component back under the
300-line guideline (290). (Greptile P2)
- Controller spec rewritten around programme-set fixtures with new
coverage: return-to-today on channel switch, day navigation left
alone, no-takeover when today has no data, empty-set no-op.

* fix(epg): drop malformed programmes from the list-view day filter
Reject programmes whose stop is not after their start in
buildEpgListRows — same as the timeline's buildTimelineBlocks. Bad
provider data would otherwise render impossible time ranges and could
even be offered as catch-up playable. (Codex P2 on e6fd0d08)

The settings-section-scroll directive ran a 260ms Element.animate() on
whichever section became "active" as the user scrolled — three
keyframes painting an `inset 0 0 0 1px var(--settings-group-active-ring)`
ring plus a soft glow on the section block. With the new flat layout
(no card chrome, no static active ring), that pulse drew a brief 1px
border around each block as you scrolled past — the user-reported
"short border kind of highlight around blocks" effect.
The rail's left active state already announces which section you're on,
so the inline pulse is redundant. Removed the entire active-section
animation effect (the pendingScrollTarget scroll-into-view effect is
untouched — that's the click-the-nav-and-jump behaviour).
CDP verifies: all .settings-group elements report `box-shadow: none`
after scrolling. 50/50 settings tests still pass.

The earlier Settings polish (kill triple header, compact theme picker,
sticky footer, hide playlist switcher) addressed structure. This round
addresses typography and chrome to bring the look in line with the
v0.22 mockup spec captured in redesign-screens-2.jsx.
Three changes:
1. Flat sections — no card chrome
- Each .settings-group was a rounded panel (border-radius:22px,
filled background, box-shadow, .settings-group--active ring +
glow). Combined with the per-section icon-circle next to the
title, every section looked like a feature card, not a settings
region anchor. Strip all of it: the rail's active state on the
left already announces "you are here".
- Hide .settings-group__header-icon via display:none so the icon-
circle markup in each section template stays intact while the
visual chrome goes away — saves touching 6 templates for a
CSS-only change.
2. Promote section titles to a large flat heading
- Was h3 1.08rem 700 weight nested in the card chrome. Now h3
1.5rem (24px) 600 weight with a 1px bottom-border separator,
matching the mockup's 28px h1 + sub anchor pattern (24px is a
reasonable density compromise for the denser app layout). Active-
section variant keeps the blue title accent so users scrolling
the right pane don't lose the anchor.
- .setting-item drops the `margin: 0 18px` card inset so rows
align flush with the section title — flat list rhythm.
3. Quiet mono eyebrow for the left nav title
- .panel-title was a 20px 500 weight h2 ("Settings") competing for
"biggest text on screen" against the section titles on the right.
Switch to mono 11px uppercase 0.1em letter-spaced text-secondary
— quiet rail header per the mockup. Now the section titles on
the right are unambiguously the dominant heading.
Visual confirmation via agent-browser shows a much closer match to the
mockup: subtle SETTINGS eyebrow above the rail list, large flat
"General" anchor with bottom border, compact pickers, full-width sticky
footer.
50/50 settings tests still pass; build clean.

The Remote Control nav item carried id: '@iptvnator/ui/remote-control'
— the NX library name pasted in place of the section's HTML id. The
settings-section-scroll directive resolves the target with
document.getElementById(), which returned null for that string, so
clicking "Remote" silently no-op'd. The active-state binding
([class.settings-group--active]="activeSection() === 'remote-control'")
also never lit up because the nav reported a different id than the
section template uses.
Change the nav id to 'remote-control' so it matches the section's
id="remote-control" attribute.
Added a focused regression spec (settings-options.spec.ts) that:
- asserts the desktop-only items light up only when isDesktop is true,
- reads each section component's root <section id="…"> at test time and
cross-checks the nav id set against it, so any future drift between
the two (renamed section, new section without nav entry, copy-paste
of a library path into the id) fails the build.

Four UX-audit fixes for the Settings page:
1. Header dedupe
- The page used to stack THREE headers vertically: the workspace rail's
"Settings" entry, a page-level <h1>Settings</h1> + subtitle, and the
General section's <h3>General</h3> + subtitle. The page-level and
section-level subtitles both used SETTINGS.GENERAL_SUBTITLE
("Change the configuration of the application"), word-for-word.
- Drop the visible page-level header entirely. Keep an a11y-only
<span class="visually-hidden"> for the data-test-id hook so the
existing settings.component.spec selector still resolves. Left rail
announces "Settings"; section header is now the page anchor.
- Add a global .visually-hidden helper to styles.scss for re-use.
2. Theme + Cover-size pickers shrink to a real segmented control
- .theme-switcher was a 3-column grid of ~78px-tall buttons making
"Choose theme" look like the most important action in Settings.
Replaced with a 30px-tall segmented control (track + thumb with
box-shadow on the selected option), matching the standard Material
"compact row" cadence everywhere else.
- Shortened all 18 locales' THEMES.* labels from "Light theme / Dark
theme / System theme" to "Light / Dark / System". The "theme" word
duplicated the section's own h3 ("Visual theme") and forced labels
to wrap into two lines in narrow columns.
3. Save bar becomes a real sticky footer
- The action bar was a `border-radius:18px; margin-left:auto;
position:sticky` chip floating bottom-right that clipped the last
form rows underneath. Now spans the full content column with a
top border separator — sits flush with the bottom edge while
still sticky on scroll. The save-button gradient also drops the
hand-rolled #3b82f6 in favour of var(--app-selection-color) so it
matches the unified blue primary used everywhere else.
4. Playlist switcher hidden on /settings
- Workspace shell header gains an isSettingsRoute input that hides
the playlist switcher block AND the leading actions group
(+ Add source / header shortcut / bulk action). Settings is a
global page — those controls were implying that switching
playlists scopes settings, which it doesn't. Wired through from
the shell facade's existing isSettingsRoute computed.
- Mock header in workspace-shell.component.spec gains the matching
input() declaration so the binding resolves under tests.

Live TV channels in Xtream playlists go blank whenever the provider's
get_short_epg returns nothing, even when the user has working XMLTV
URLs in Settings. The XMLTV pipeline already populates epg_programs
but only the M3U module was reading it.
Wire those uploads up as a fallback for Xtream too: when the provider
returns nothing for a channel with an epg_channel_id, look it up in
the local table. A settings toggle flips the priority for users whose
curated XMLTV is better than the provider's auto guide.
EpgQueueService.enqueue() became async to batch the XMLTV lookup once
per viewport change. To keep the queue consistent under fast scroll,
all shared-state mutations now happen behind a generation counter so
only the latest call commits. Per-method bridge gating in the new
XtreamXmltvFallbackService keeps each path working when the preload
exposes only one of the two endpoints.
VLC was unconditionally spawned per click — VLC's own single-instance
preference fails because the per-launch RC args defeat its D-Bus
forwarder. Mirror the existing MPV reuse pattern so users can opt in to
driving one tracked VLC via its RC interface (clear + add) instead of
opening a new window every stream.
