The persisted subtitle preference only ever had an owner behind the default-off
shared web-controls flag, so with the shipping controls it did nothing: Video.js
never read it, ArtPlayer declared the input but never used it, and the HTML5
player only ran a one-shot pass after play() resolved — before hls.js had added
its text tracks. No portal host bound the input at all, so it never reached
Xtream or Stalker pages either.
Extract the source-local track controllers into the adapter-free
WebVideoSourceTracks and have WebVideoSourceControlsBridge wrap it, so both
controls modes apply the preference through the same code. The preference-off
players bind it directly (VjsLegacyTracks for Video.js), and
WebPlayerViewComponent reads the preference from SettingsStore instead of an
input so every host inherits it.
The preference means different things depending on who renders the caption UI:
shared controls stay authoritative for the session, while vendor chrome is
source-default — the preference seeds each new source and is released once the
media reports playing, so the engine own caption menu keeps working. Mode
selection is an optional playbackStarted probe passed to the HLS, native and
Shaka helpers; in that mode the HLS helper deselects the track rather than
hiding it, since subtitleDisplay would silently override the vendor menu.
Closes#1155
* feat(m3u): extract ClearKey DRM from #KODIPROP playlist lines
Adds the typed ChannelDrm model (shared interfaces) and a KODIPROP
post-processing step in createPlaylistObject() — the single funnel for all
four playlist import paths. Parses inputstream.adaptive.license_type,
license_key and drm_legacy; ClearKey keys accepted as kid:key hex pairs,
W3C ClearKey license JSON, or a plain kid→key JSON map. Unsupported license
types (Widevine/PlayReady/license URLs) are preserved with supported=false
so playback can surface a DRM diagnostic instead of failing silently.
Also adds isDashStreamUrl/isDashChannel helpers for DASH routing.

* feat(playback): add Shaka DASH source engine with ClearKey support
Introduces ShakaVideoSession (libs/ui/playback/src/lib/shaka-engine/): a
lazily imported shaka-player engine (separate lazy chunk, ~217 KB transfer)
owning attach/configure/load with an operation queue and generation guard
against channel-switch races. Channel ClearKey config maps to
drm.clearKeys; channels with an unsupported license type emit a
DrmOrEncryption diagnostic without starting an engine. Shaka errors are
classified into the existing playback diagnostics
(PlaybackDiagnosticSource.Shaka).
Wires the engine into both built-in players like hls.js/mpegts.js:
- HTML5: extension === 'mpd' branch in playChannel(); hls/mpegts/native
glue extracted to helpers to keep the component within the size budget
- ArtPlayer: customType 'mpd' in ArtPlayerSourceSession (+ getDrm seam)
- Shared controls: WebVideoControlsSource kind 'shaka' +
WebVideoShakaControls using the Shaka 5 text model (selectTextTrack(null)
hides subtitles; Player.setTextTrackVisibility no longer exists)
Adds a CJS shaka-player jest stub (video.js precedent) for web specs.

* feat(m3u): route DASH channels to the inline Shaka-capable player
DASH (.mpd) channels always play in a built-in web engine (radio
precedent): external MPV/VLC cannot receive KODIPROP ClearKey
configuration (VLC upstream #29465) and Video.js has no DASH bridge yet.
- shouldShowInlinePlayer() bypasses the external-player setting for DASH
- new shouldAutoLaunchExternalPlayer() guard consolidates the MPV/VLC
auto-launch conditions in the m3u-state effects (incl. catch-up path)
- the M3U page overrides the player for DASH channels: ArtPlayer stays
ArtPlayer, everything else falls back to the HTML5 player
- ChannelDrm is passed through ResolvedPortalPlayback into the synthetic
player-view channel

* test(e2e): add offline DASH ClearKey fixtures and e2e coverage
Fixtures (apps/web-e2e/src/fixtures/dash/): ~4s VP9+Opus DASH, clear and
CENC-encrypted variants with fixed synthetic ClearKey credentials.
Content synthesized by ffmpeg; encryption done by Shaka Packager because
ffmpeg's mp4 muxer writes senc-only metadata (Chromium needs saiz/saio)
and cannot produce the subsample encryption the VP9 CENC binding
requires. Generation script + README document regeneration.
web-e2e (Chromium): import an M3U with KODIPROP ClearKey via raw text,
verify encrypted and clear DASH actually play (currentTime advances, no
diagnostic banner) and that an unsupported license type (Widevine)
surfaces the DRM diagnostic. Fixtures are served through Playwright route
interception with HTTP Range support; the Angular service worker is
blocked since SW-routed requests bypass interception.
electron-backend-e2e: the same happy path + negative against a local
Range-aware fixture server — the automated proof that ClearKey EME works
in the real Electron runtime (file:// secure context).

* fix(pwa): extract KODIPROP DRM on the web-backend /parse import path
The web-backend keeps its own playlist builder for the PWA URL-import
path, so the shared createPlaylistObject() DRM hook never ran there and
encrypted DASH channels imported by URL reached Shaka without keys.
Apply extractDrmFromRaw() in that builder too and cover the path with a
regression test.

* fix(playback): interrupt stalled Shaka loads and destroy failed engines
Two review findings on the ShakaVideoSession lifecycle:
- stop()/start() now tear the current player down immediately instead of
queueing the destroy behind the in-flight operation. Shaka's destroy()
interrupts a pending load() (LOAD_INTERRUPTED), so a stalled manifest
fetch can no longer wedge the operation chain and block the next
channel start (Codex P1).
- A rejected attach()/load() now destroys the failed player after
emitting the diagnostic, so a non-functional engine never stays
attached to the media element or exposed to the shared-controls
bridge (Greptile P1).
Regression tests cover both paths. The Shaka fakes are consolidated into
a shared jest-free test double that mirrors the destroy-interrupts-load
semantic, and the ArtPlayer source-session spec is split (fixtures +
DASH cases) to stay within the max-lines lint budget.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(m3u): unify DASH URL detection with playback extension normalization
isDashStreamUrl() used the simpler getStreamExtensionFromUrl(), so URLs
the player engines classify as DASH (stream.MPD, ?ext=mpd, ?format=mpd)
were not routed to the Shaka-capable inline player and lost their
ClearKey metadata with Video.js or external players configured
(Codex P2). The normalized getPlaybackMediaExtensionFromUrl() now lives
in @iptvnator/shared/m3u-utils (re-exported unchanged from the playback
lib) and both routing and engine selection share it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* chore(lint): satisfy CI lint and CodeQL in DASH support files
- replace shell-built tar/npm commands with execFileSync arg arrays in
the fixture generator (CodeQL: uncontrolled shell command)
- give jest stub methods explicit bodies (no-empty-function)
- compact the diagnostic label switches in WebPlayerViewComponent to
stay under the max-lines budget
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(playback): tear down the Shaka engine on critical error events too
A non-recoverable Shaka error emitted after a successful load left the
dead engine attached to the media element and exposed to the
shared-controls bridge (Greptile P1, round 2). Critical error events now
destroy the player right after the diagnostic is emitted, matching the
load-failure path.

* fix(m3u): honor DASH catch-up URLs and drop unusable DRM fallbacks
Two Codex round-2 findings:
- The inline-playback DASH gate only examined the channel URL, while the
external-player guard checks the resolved catch-up URL — a replay that
resolves to an .mpd manifest with MPV/VLC configured ended up with no
player at all. The gate now uses the effective playback URL
(activePlaybackUrl ?? channel.url).
- The unsupported-DRM diagnostic advertised MPV/VLC fallback actions,
but external players cannot receive the KODIPROP license config either
— the diagnostic no longer recommends them.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(playback): suppress unusable external fallback for ClearKey DRM failures
Runtime DRM errors on channels that carry KODIPROP ClearKey config (wrong
or rotated keys) advertised MPV/VLC fallback actions, but external
players never receive the license config — the fallback could only fail
differently. DRM-classified diagnostics from such channels no longer
recommend external players; clear channels keep the hint.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(m3u): symmetric DASH inline gate and lazy DRM for pre-upgrade playlists
- The inline DASH gate is now true when either the channel or the
resolved catch-up URL is DASH, mirroring the external-player guard —
a .mpd channel whose catch-up resolves to .m3u8 no longer ends up
with no player at all.
- Playlists imported before the DRM feature carry no drm field, but the
raw KODIPROP block survived in the stored items; the M3U page now
falls back to extractDrmFromRaw(channel.raw) at playback time, so
encrypted channels work without a re-import (Channel gains raw?).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: sync the DASH/Shaka contract across agent docs
Mirrors the DASH/Shaka source-engine contract into AGENTS.md and adds
Shaka to the shared web-video bridge descriptions in CLAUDE.md and the
player-controls contract; documents the lazy raw-KODIPROP DRM fallback
for pre-upgrade playlists in the M3U architecture doc.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(playback): reset the media element for rejected DRM and widen ClearKey fallback suppression
- Switching from a playing stream to an unsupported-DRM DASH channel
loads no new source, but play() still ran and the un-loaded element
could resume the previous stream underneath the diagnostic banner.
The HTML5 player now resets the element instead of playing.
- Any inline failure on a KODIPROP ClearKey channel (manifest, codec,
media, network — not just DRM-category errors) is unsolvable in
MPV/VLC, which never receive the license config; the external
fallback hint is now suppressed for all diagnostics of such channels.

* fix(playback): restore suppressed DASH captions when the preference re-enables
The Shaka bridge dropped the auto-selected text track with
selectTextTrack(null) when showCaptions was off, but did not remember it
— re-enabling the preference mid-session left captions permanently off
(HLS/native bridges already restore). The session now remembers the
suppressed track id and reselects it via the bridge's caption-state pass;
suppression is also skipped when no track is active. Covered by session
and new WebVideoShakaControls specs.

* refactor(playback): split oversized Shaka session and HTML5 spec files

- 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),

cards with contentType 'live'

* 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
updated (m3u-playlist-module.md).

* 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)

Replaces the vertical EPG list with a shared horizontal `app-epg-timeline`
ribbon across all live surfaces (M3U player, unified live tab, Xtream, Stalker):
zoom, day navigation, short-programme grouping, catch-up/timeshift, and
per-state empty views. Backend gains timezone-aware `datetime()` comparisons,
unscoped source fallback, non-ASCII candidate matching, and chunked candidate
queries.
Timeline split into reusable, view-agnostic modules (archive/summary/dialog
service/render util/scroll controller) for the future EPG list view.
Fixes landed during review:
- honor the controlled `selectedDate` input (seed via linkedSignal)
- restore ribbon position across collapse/expand
- keep the ribbon mounted when scrolling across a gap day
- don't trigger block playback on Enter from nested watch/info buttons
- don't reset timeshift playback on the 30s now-tick during EPG gaps
Greptile 5/5 (safe to merge); Codex clean; CI green.
fix(m3u): highlight active archive epg program
* Store the active archive EPG program with the resolved playback URL so the clicked M3U catch-up row stays highlighted during archive playback.
* Show archive playback state and return-to-live controls in the inline player panel.
* Hide duplicate EPG program rows that share the same time slot while keeping the richer provider entry.
