Replace custom environment-based dev detection with Electron's
built-in app.isPackaged check. Import the app module from Electron
and remove reliance on ELECTRON_IS_DEV and the environment file.
This simplifies logic, improves reliability of development vs
production detection, and reduces dependency on external env vars.
Add a new Electron smoke test suite using Playwright to verify the
packaged application starts, renders the main window, and exposes
expected window properties. The tests launch the built Electron main
bundle, locate the primary (non-DevTools) window, wait for DOM load,
and assert the title contains "IPTVnator". They also check window
visibility and bounds, validate rendered body content, and capture
screenshots to dist/test-results/electron-backend-e2e for debugging.
Include helpers to resolve project paths, ensure the screenshot
directory exists, and robustly find the main application window. Set
NODE_ENV and ELECTRON_IS_DEV to ensure the app loads built artifacts.
Add the ability to hide irrelevant or empty categories in Xtream playlists.
Users can now manage category visibility through a dialog accessible from
the sidebar header in both VOD/Series and Live TV views.
Features:
- New category management dialog with search filter and select/deselect all
- Visibility settings persisted to database per playlist
- Hidden categories are filtered from sidebar navigation
- New categories added during playlist refresh default to visible
- Database migration for existing installations
Files changed:
- Database: schema.ts, connection.ts (hidden column + migration)
- Backend: category.events.ts, main.preload.ts (IPC handlers)
- Frontend: new dialog component, store method, UI integration
- Translations: en.json
- Documentation: docs/architecture/category-management.md
Reorder imports and remove an unused duplicate to improve clarity and
consistency. Reformat multi-argument and long console/log calls,
return objects and function arguments across multiple lines to keep
within line width and improve readability. Update array/object
literals and error handling pushes to use consistent multi-line
formatting. These changes are purely stylistic and do not alter
behavior; they make the code easier to read and maintain.
Refactor stalker-series-view template to guard fields with conditionals
so that only available metadata is displayed. Replace selectedItem() with
displayItem() to use the updated selection accessor. Add checks for
director, actors, year/release date, genre/genres_str, imdb and kinopoisk
ratings to avoid showing empty labels.
Enhance stalker-portal-import component by adding reactive form fields
for serial/device IDs and signatures, importing MatProgressSpinnerModule,
and wiring TranslateService and StalkerSessionService into the component.
Include a small loading-container style. These changes prepare the UI for
improved import UX and safer rendering of optional series metadata.
Add tables, indexes, FTS5 virtual table, and triggers to support EPG
(electronic program guide) data in the shared SQLite connection. The
changes introduce epg_channels and epg_programs tables, multiple
indexes for efficient lookups (by source, name, channel, start, and
time range), and an epg_programs_fts virtual table with triggers to
keep the full-text index synchronized with epg_programs.
Register EPG database event handlers in the Electron backend and
add an IPC handler for bulk-saving channels. The handler deletes
existing channels for a source and inserts new channels in chunks to
avoid large single inserts, returning the inserted count.
These changes enable storing, querying, and full-text searching EPG
data and prepare backend IPC endpoints for importing program guide
data.
Introduce a lowercase display name index (Map) to allow O(1) resolution
from display name to channel id. Rebuild the index during merged-data
rebuild and use it in channel lookups to avoid expensive full scans.
Add a fallback partial-match pass only when the index lookup fails.
Add automatic and manual cleanup of expired programs:
- Add cleanupExpiredPrograms(hoursToKeep) to remove programs older
than the specified number of hours from epgDataMerged.
- Invoke cleanup after worker fetches (auto-cleanup with 24 hours).
- Expose an IPC handler EPG_CLEANUP_EXPIRED to trigger cleanup on
demand.
Other changes:
- Clear epgData.programs after merging to free memory.
- Log merged data rebuild and cleanup counts for observability.
These changes improve performance of channel resolution, reduce memory
usage by pruning stale program entries, and provide a manual hook for
on-demand maintenance.
Replace full-file parsing with a streaming SAX parser to avoid loading
entire XMLTV payloads into memory. Add support for gzipped feeds by
using streaming gunzip (createGunzip) and piping into a SaxesParser,
allowing incremental processing of channels and programmes.
Introduce:
- StreamingEpgParser class that incrementally builds channel and program
objects and emits batches.
- parseXmltvDate helper to normalize XMLTV datetimes to ISO strings.
- batching constants and response types for channel/program batches and
progress reporting.
- use of Readable/Saxes for streaming parsing and reduced memory use.
This change improves performance and memory usage for large EPG files,
enables progress reporting and batch emission to the main thread, and
prepares for handling very large or gzipped EPG sources.
Introduce a shared database schema library for Drizzle ORM and
configure its TypeScript build settings. Move the canonical schema
into libs/shared/database/src/lib/schema.ts and expose strong
typing and table definitions for playlists, categories, content,
recently_viewed and favorites. Add tsconfig.lib.json to set
outDir, declaration output and node types for the shared lib.
Keep apps/electron-backend compatibility by re-exporting the
schema and types from the new shared library (apps/electron-backend
now imports the shared definitions rather than duplicating them).
These changes centralize the database schema as a single source
of truth, prevent duplication, and enable read-only consumers
(e.g. agent-backend) to depend on compiled type declarations.
