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.

Three placeholders were rendering at once when a search filter cleared
both the groups rail and the channel list, and they each used a
different visual treatment:
1. Groups rail (.groups-nav-empty) was bare 0.82rem muted text with no
icon and no hint, and routed through CHANNELS.NO_SEARCH_RESULTS
("No channels found") which is wrong copy for the *groups* column.
2. Channel list (.groups-content-empty-state) was the canonical L4
icon + title + hint pattern (correct).
3. Player area (<app-portal-empty-state>) was a 72px icon at 0.2
opacity, which read as ghosted on dark theme.
Bring the groups rail into the L4 family scaled down for the narrow
column: 28px search_off / folder_off icon at 0.5 opacity, 0.85rem
title, 0.78rem hint at 0.65 opacity, centered. Add a CHANNELS.NO_GROUPS_FOUND
i18n key so the copy reflects the column ("No groups found").
Bump portal-empty-state's icon opacity from 0.2 -> 0.35 and title
opacity from 0.5 -> 0.6 so the player-area placeholder feels present
rather than abandoned.

When a search filter inside a category produces zero results, the grid
@empty fallback used to render the EMPTY_CATEGORY view ("No content in
this category" with the empty-tv illustration). That message was
misleading — the category itself wasn't empty, only the search filter
excluded everything.
grid-list now takes a searchTerm input and branches the @empty fallback:
when a search is active it renders the NO_SEARCH_RESULTS view with the
parameterised "No results found for {term}" title, otherwise it falls
back to EMPTY_CATEGORY as before. category-content-view derives the
searchTerm signal from the ?q= query param and passes it through.
Also: bump the NO_SEARCH_RESULTS icon from a 64px mat-icon to a clamp()
sized icon (120-180px) at 0.5 opacity so it visually balances with the
SVG illustrations used by the other viewTypes, swap the icon to
search_off (struck-through magnifier) so it reads as "no results"
rather than "search now", and fix the EN i18n typo
("change you search request" -> "change your search request").

Replace the dashed-bordered "Ooops" placeholder in the EPG side panel
(rendered when the selected date has no programmes) with the icon +
title + hint pattern already used by groups view, season container,
and portal empty states.
The dashed border was a visual outlier — every other empty state in
the codebase is borderless, and a dashed stroke conventionally signals
a drop-zone or "add new" affordance, neither of which applies to a
passive informational state. The new layout uses a 48px event_busy
icon at 0.5 opacity, a 1.05rem title, and a 0.85rem hint at 0.65
opacity, centered in the panel via flex.
Soften the EN microcopy ("Ooops, EPG is not available for the selected
date" -> "No program guide", which also fixes the "Ooops" typo) and
add a NO_GUIDE_HINT key with localized strings across all 18 locales,
nudging the user toward the date arrows or playlist refresh.

Adds a "Recently used" section at the top of the command palette (capped at 5,
persisted via StorageMap) and five "Switch player to ..." commands for one-step
player switching from anywhere. MPV/VLC are gated to Electron; the active player
entry is shown disabled. Switching applies to the next playback session.
