Publish "How to Load an M3U Playlist and Add an EPG in IPTVnator": the
three import methods plus drag-and-drop and OS file opening, the
playlist views, refresh and startup auto-update, attaching an XMLTV
guide through Settings or a url-tvg header, the tvg-id / tvg-name /
name matching order with manual mapping, catch-up attributes,
troubleshooting and a seven-question FAQ. The three guides now link to
each other, the download pages point at all three, and llms.txt lists
the new one.
Three guide shots join the manifest: the M3U URL dialog, the Groups
view (reusing open-m3u-groups under the guides group) and the EPG
settings section with a staged source row. A settings shot leaves the
form dirty, which arms the app's close guard and blocked app.close()
indefinitely; the capture now discards unsaved settings before every
action and before teardown, and bounds every locator wait.

Publish "How to Connect a Stalker or Ministra Portal to IPTVnator": the
portal URL shapes discovery accepts, MAC normalization, the optional
serial/device-ID/signature fields and the pinning rules behind the
"generate device IDs" toggle, what endpoint discovery does on Add, the
sections a portal source gets, Account info, and a troubleshooting list
built from the app's own refusal messages, plus a seven-question FAQ.
The guide is cross-linked from the download pages and llms.txt.
Guide screenshots come from the capture script. Shots that walk into a
Stalker portal start the stalker-mock-server and seed its marketing-demo
portal for that run only, so release shots never gain a third source
card. The frame guard allowlists exactly that scenario's MAC and keeps
rejecting every other MAC-shaped string.
To keep the live-TV frame free of third-party images, the fictional live
channel list and the channel-logo SVG renderer move into
@iptvnator/shared/marketing-fixtures; both mocks now serve
/assets/marketing/logo/<slug>.svg, the Stalker marketing-demo scenario
builds its ITV categories, channels and schedule from those fixtures
instead of faker names with picsum logos, and the mock resolves asset
URLs on get_all_channels too, which is the response the app renders
the channel list from.

Publish "How to Add an Xtream Codes Account to IPTVnator" as the first
evergreen guide: what the server URL, username and password are, the
Add playlist flow with the connection test and its four verdicts, the
Auto-detect method for pasted provider messages, what the import syncs,
Account info, refresh, troubleshooting and a seven-question FAQ. The
guide is cross-linked from the three download pages and llms.txt.
Blog posts gain an optional `faq` frontmatter list: BlogPost.astro
renders it as an accordion after the body and emits FAQPage JSON-LD
next to the BlogPosting entry. LinkCards and PostButton keep internal
links in the same tab.
Guide screenshots come from the release capture script: manifest shots
may carry a `group`, `--group guides` captures only those into
apps/website/public/blog/guides/screenshots/, and a release run skips
them. New setup actions open the Add playlist dialog with the mock's
fictional Xtream credentials (connection test shown), the Auto-detect
method with a labeled hand-out, and the Xtream Live TV view. Dialog
helpers and fixture identities move into shared modules so the driver
and the navigation actions cannot import each other cyclically.
tools/testing/website-guides.test.mjs checks the FAQPage schema, the
download-hub link and the shipped screenshots of every guide;
screenshot-guards.test.mjs covers group validation and output routing.
