Convert channel structures to a consistent and adapt templates
to read new safely.
- Add accessors in EListComponent:
- getChannelName(channel) returns first displayName or ''
- getChannelIcon(channel) returns first icon.src or ''
These helpers make reading channel metadata robust against missing or
differently-shaped data.
- Build channel object with normalized fields in ngOnInit:
- set id, displayName[], url[], icon[] rather than raw name/icon
- ensure fallbacks to empty strings/arrays to avoid undefined values
- Update InfoOverlay template to safely access program fields:
- use epgProgram?.icon?.[0]?.src for image source
- use epgProgram?.title?.[0]?.value and epgProgram?.desc?.[0]?.value
- Fix MultiEpg templates for property access and tracking:
- replace invalid template boolean expressions with safe non-null
assertion where needed ((hourWidth$ | async)! ...)
- use track item.id instead of track $any(item).channel
- call getChannelIcon/getChannelName and render icon/name via helpers
These changes prevent runtime errors when fields are missing or have
array-wrapped values, improve template safety, and standardize channel
data handling across the EPG UI.
Bump epg-parser from 0.1.6 to 0.4.0 in package.json and update
package-lock.json to reflect the new version, resolved tarball, and
integrity. Add its new runtime dependencies (dayjs ^1.11.6 and
lodash.groupby ^4.6.0) into package-lock.json and include a dayjs
entry. Also add missing license fields for some modules.
This upgrade brings epg-parser improvements and fixes, and ensures the
lockfile accurately represents the installed dependency tree.
a dedicated refresh button and workflow for Xtream in the
recent playlists UI. Show a refresh icon only when the playlist has a
serverUrl. For Xtream playlists, prompt the user with a confirmation
dialog, delete locally cached categories and streams, show a toast that
the refresh started, and navigate to the playlist to trigger re-import.
Keep existing refresh IPC logic for non-Xtream (M3U/local) playlists.
Also add English translations for the Xtream refresh tooltip and dialog
messages, and surface errors via snackbar on failure.
This enables safe re-importing of remote Xtream playlists while preserving
favorites and recent items.
Add MPV_REUSE_INSTANCE key to the electron backend store service and
include mpvReuseInstance in the shared settings interface so the new
boolean setting is persisted and available across renderer and main
processes.
Also update English i18n JSON formatting and expand the HOME section
translations (reformatting and adding nested playlist-related keys)
to ensure the UI strings remain consistent after changes.
Introduce MPV process reuse and IPC control, and add basic EPG IPC
handlers.
- Add GET_CHANNEL_PROGRAMS and FETCH_EPG ipc handlers to epg.events.ts
to expose fetching EPG data by channel or URLs.
- Rework player.events.ts:
- Export proper bootstrap and add module-level mpvProcess and
mpvSocketPath to track a reusable MPV instance.
- Add sendMpvCommand helper to communicate with MPV via its IPC socket.
- Implement OPEN_MPV_PLAYER handler that:
- Reads MPV path and MPV_REUSE_INSTANCE setting from store.
- Attempts to reuse an existing MPV process by sending loadfile
command over the socket when reuse is enabled.
- Falls back to spawning a new mpv process, creating a unique IPC
socket path, and storing the process/socket when reuse is enabled.
- Adds error and exit handlers to clear stored references.
- Add necessary imports (ChildProcess, existsSync, createConnection).
- Remove/comment unused import block for shared-interfaces and adapt
existing code to the new flow.
Why:
- Enable reusing a single MPV instance to improve resource usage and
provide faster playback switching.
- Add IPC endpoints for EPG to support frontend requests for program
data.
MPV/VLC launch and playlist auto-update from the Electron preload
and migrate Tauri invoke calls to use the exposed window.electron API.
- Add openInMpv, openInVlc and autoUpdatePlaylists to the preload API,
forwarding parameters to ipcRenderer for native handling.
- Replace tauri invoke('open_in_mpv') and invoke('open_in_vlc') calls
with window.electron.openInMpv / openInVlc in tauri.service to use the
unified Electron IPC surface.
- Replace file-based AUTO_UPDATE_PLAYLISTS handling with a call to
window.electron.autoUpdatePlaylists and remove legacy file parsing
code (now commented) so the main process owns playlist refresh logic.
- Import shared AUTO_UPDATE_PLAYLISTS/Playlist types into preload.
This centralizes native player launching and playlist updates through the
preload IPC bridge, simplifying web service code and moving file I/O to
the native/main layer for better security and separation of concerns.
- Enableplayer global config and component options:
- set Artplayer.AUTO_PLAYBACK_TIMEOUT to 10000 to reduce autoplay
timeouts.
- enable autoPlayback, playsInline, airplay, backdrop, mutex and set
theme on Artplayer instance to improve playback behaviour and UI.
- add autoSize, autoMini, pip, screenshot, aspectRatio and fullscreen
settings for a consistent feature set.
- Harden channel URL check to avoid null errors:
- use optional chaining when checking channel.url for m3u8.
- Move StreamFormat import ordering and clean unused enum entry:
- remove DPlayer from VideoPlayer enum and related commented code.
- remove DPlayer component imports, declarations and template branch,
simplifying player selection and eliminating dead code.
- Tidy component decorator formatting and fix template array trailing
commas to preserve style consistency.
These changes replace the deprecated/removed DPlayer integration with a
fully configured Artplayer, improve runtime safety, and clean up unused
code.
Update several packages in package-lock to newer minor/patch releases
and align Angular ESLint packages with the Angular 20 toolchain. Key
changes include:
- Upgrade @rx-angular/* to 20.0.0 to match other framework updates.
- Bump runtime libs: artplayer, axios, hls.js, rxjs, semver, uuid,
zone.js to patch/minor versions for fixes and compatibility.
- Update @angular-eslint packages to 20.3.0 to match Angular 20.x.
- Refresh eslint, @eslint/*, eslint-plugin-import, prettier, and
semantic-release to more recent releases for linting/CI stability.
- Add explicit rxjs 7.8.1 entries under some Angular DevKit node_modules
to ensure consistent resolution.
These updates address compatibility with Angular 20, pull in bug fixes
and security/maintenance patches, and stabilize dev tooling and CI.
Use channel.url instead of channel.id when updating the favorites
ordering in the playlist store. The change ensures the dispatched
setFavorites action contains the correct identifierurl) that the
store and downstream logic expect, preventing mismatches between the
UI order and persisted favorites.
- Removed unnecessary imports from header, account-info,
loading-overlay, navigation-bar, season-container, serial-details, and
vod-details components.
- Updated template syntax to use structural directives more efficiently in mpv-player-bar, account-info, navigation-bar, season-container, serial-details, and vod-details components.
- Enhanced readability and maintainability of the code by organizing imports and using Angular's async pipe and structural directives appropriately.
- Adjusted TypeScript configuration to use "bundler" for module resolution for better compatibility with modern build tools.
