* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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

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.

* 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.

* fix(tmdb): restore trailers in packaged builds, fall back to original language for missing text
Two production-only gaps reported against the packaged 0.22 build:
1. Trailers showed YouTube "Error 153 — Video player configuration
error". YouTube requires a Referer on /embed requests; the packaged
app loads the renderer from file://, which never sends one (dev works
because the origin is localhost). The Electron main process now
injects the project site as Referer for YouTube embed hosts when the
header is absent (request-header-overrides.service.ts, registered at
startup via registerStaticHeaderShims). Existing Referers are never
overwritten, other hosts untouched.
2. Descriptions vanished for content whose original language differs
from the app language: TMDB does not fall back on missing
translations, so a Russian-only series has empty overviews in en-US.
When the app-language payload carries no text, the enrichment
refetches once in the content's original_language and fills ONLY the
missing text fields (tmdb-language-fallback.ts): details overview,
season overview and per-episode names/overviews. Genres, credits and
artwork stay in the app language; both language rows share the cache.
Tests: 3 new shim cases in request-header-overrides.service.spec.ts,
new tmdb-language-fallback.spec.ts (9 cases). Docs updated
(tmdb-metadata-enrichment.md).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(tmdb): address PR review — best-effort fallback fetch, /embed/ scope, names-only trigger
- A failing original-language fallback fetch no longer costs the
already-fetched primary details payload (Codex P2) — it is wrapped
best-effort and the primary payload is returned on error.
- The YouTube Referer shim now scopes to /embed/ paths, so regular
www.youtube.com requests keep their real (missing) Referer (greptile).
- seasonNeedsTextFallback also triggers when episode overviews exist but
ALL episode names are empty (partially translated seasons; greptile).

* fix(playback): harden embedded mpv session handling and support detection
- guard the session controller against late startup rejections clobbering
a newer session during fast channel zapping
- exclude the refresh timestamp from the session-update dedup key so idle
sessions stop re-emitting IPC updates every 500 ms
- macOS: reconcile async loadfile replies by request id so a rejected
seek/aid/speed on a live stream no longer flips the session to error
- append --ozone-platform=x11 on Linux in main.ts so direct binary and
AppImage launches match the packaged .desktop launcher behavior
- return a sandbox-specific unsupported reason in Flatpak/Snap instead of
asking the user to install mpv inside the sandbox
- update the stale "macOS only" embedded MPV claim in CLAUDE.md

* feat(playback): populate Linux audio tracks and fix ARM Linux packaging
- Linux poller now reads track-list/count each tick and walks the scalar
track-list/N/* sub-properties when the count changes, so the audio-track
menu is no longer empty; selection reconciles from the aid property
- afterPack replaces the x64 embedded_mpv.node with an
embedded-mpv-unavailable.txt marker in arm64/armv7l Linux packages, and
package-layout verification rejects foreign-architecture addons while
requiring the marker
- extend native source invariants for the non-fatal async-reply rule
(macOS) and the Linux track-list polling contract
- document the Linux track-list mechanics and ARM packaging behavior in
docs/architecture/embedded-mpv-native.md

* feat(playback): embedded mpv player UX polish and full localization
- click on the video toggles pause (same action as Space) with a 250 ms
grace period so double-click fullscreen cancels the pending pause; no
DOM overlay is drawn — the dock transport icon is the feedback
- timeline scrubbing previews the drag position locally and commits a
single seek on release instead of one IPC seek per drag pixel
- translate all player UI strings (controls, tooltips, aria-labels,
status and recording messages) via new EMBEDDED_MPV.PLAYER.* keys,
synced across en + 17 locales through the i18n-fill workflow
- replace the legacy @Output() EventEmitter with the signal output() API

* fix(playback): react to language changes and respect ozone platform hint
Address review feedback on #1122:
- add a translationsTick signal (onLangChange/onTranslationChange/
onDefaultLangChange) read by every computed() and template helper that
calls translate.instant(), so labels re-evaluate on a runtime language
switch and when the translation file finishes loading after mount
- suppress the Linux --ozone-platform=x11 fallback when the user set
ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT, matching the existing respect for an
explicit --ozone-platform switch

* fix(settings): constrain release note images
* fix(settings): prefer current notes without updates
* fix(playback): harden embedded MPV polling loop and IPC error visibility
The 500ms session polling interval called refreshSession() unguarded:
a throwing addon call (getAddon/getSessionSnapshot) escaped the interval
callback as an uncaughtException in the main process on every tick.
Wrap each refresh in try-catch, log the first failure only, and resume
session updates once the addon recovers.
Embedded MPV IPC handlers also forwarded service calls without any
error handling, unlike every other events module. The renderer swallows
these rejections by design (guardIpc), so addon errors were completely
invisible. Route all registrations through a wrapper that logs the
failing channel in the main process before rethrowing.

* fix(playback): track poll-failure log suppression per session
A healthy session in the same poll tick reset the shared
pollFailureLogged flag before the failing session was processed, so a
mixed healthy/failing session set logged the failure on every 500ms
tick — the flooding the flag was meant to prevent. Track logged
failures per session id instead and clean entries up on dispose.

Adds experimental embedded MPV support for Windows and Linux, expands packaging/runtime validation, and updates CI coverage for the cross-platform native addon.
Native addon (apps/electron-backend/native/src/embedded_mpv.mm)
- Extend SessionSnapshot with subtitleTracks, selectedSubtitleTrackId,
playbackSpeed, aspectOverride.
- Refactor track parsing into a shared updateTracksFromNode helper that
filters by mpv "type" so audio and subtitle tracks share the code path.
- Observe sid, speed, video-aspect-override; clear sub state on
MPV_EVENT_START_FILE.
- Export setSubtitleTrack (handles trackId === -1 as "no" to disable),
setSpeed (clamped to 0.25–4.0), setAspect (passthrough string for
video-aspect-override).
- Snapshot output now includes the new fields.
Service (embedded-mpv-native.service.ts) + IPC + preload
- Mirror methods on EmbeddedMpvNativeService with capability detection: each
method throws a descriptive error if the loaded addon doesn't expose the
underlying native function (i.e. user is running an older build).
- New IPC channels EMBEDDED_MPV_SET_SUBTITLE_TRACK, _SET_SPEED, _SET_ASPECT
registered in events file and exposed via preload.
- Extend EmbeddedMpvSupport with a capabilities probe so the renderer can
hide controls for features the current addon build doesn't ship.
Renderer (embedded-mpv-player.component.{ts,html})
- Three new popovers anchored above their buttons (subtitle / speed /
aspect), gated by capabilities() and (for subtitles) by track count.
- Subtitle popover includes an Off entry; speed/aspect use fixed presets.
- Error state now surfaces the same overlay as the stalled state, with a
Retry button that bumps the existing retryNonce signal — covers #8 from
the audit.
- All session-payload defaults (loading stub, error stub, refresh fallback,
dispose payload, native createSession default) updated for the new
required fields.
NOTE: Existing addon binaries do not expose the new methods. Until the
addon is rebuilt (pnpm run serve:backend:embedded-mpv or the release
build script), capabilities will report subtitles/playbackSpeed/
aspectOverride as false and the new buttons will simply not appear.
