Update info-overlay template to read simplified EPG fields and
avoid indexing into arrays for title, icon and description so bindings
are resilient and clearer:
- Use epgProgram?.iconUrl instead of epgProgram?.icon?.[0]?.src
- Use epgProgram?.title instead of epgProgram?.title?.[0]?.value
- Use epgProgram?.desc instead of epgProgram?.desc?.[0]?.value
- Guard description rendering with epgProgram?.desc
Adjust multi-epg header layout and add search UI styles to support
desktop window chrome and draggable regions:
- Add left padding to #epg-navigation for macOS traffic lights, enable
backdrop drag via -webkit-app-region: drag and set z-index to keep
header above content.
- Exclude interactive elements (buttons, search inputs) from drag by
applying -webkit-app-region: no-drag to maintain native interactions.
- Add extensive styles for a channel search container (search input,
icons, clear button, filter count, animations) and scaffold a program
search container.
These changes improve robustness of EPG data rendering and add styled
search controls while ensuring proper window dragging behavior on
desktop builds.
Reduce the settings page container height calculation from
calc(100vh - 100px) to calc(100vh - 70px) so the content fits the
visible viewport when the header height is 70px. This prevents
unnecessary vertical overflow and avoids extra whitespace at the
bottom of the settings page.
imports and update dispatch calls
Replace multiple direct or wildcard imports for actions with
namespaced action groups from 'm3u-state' (e.g. PlaylistActions,
ChannelActions, EpgActions). Update dispatch calls to use the
namespaced action creators (for example, setAdjacentChannelAsActive,
setEpgAvailableFlag, resetActiveEpgProgram, setCurrentEpgProgram,
setActiveEpgProgram, addPlaylist).
This cleans up imports, improves tree-shaking and readability,
and standardizes how actions are referenced across components. It
also fixes inconsistent import styles (wildcard vs. named) and
prepares the codebase for clearer action organization.
Add support for displaying local remote-control URLs and QR code in the
Settings UI, including styles for URL list, row layout, monospaced links,
and a QR container. Expose a new global API signature getLocalIpAddresses
for retrieving local IPs.
Fix several UI issues:
- Correct typo in header method name (opedAddPlaylistDialog -> openAddPlaylistDialog).
- Fix malformed GitHub URL and collapse img tag formatting.
- Reformat imports and viewChild usage for readability.
Change local development backend URL to localhost:3000 in the local
environment to point to the running local API during development.
These changes improve developer ergonomics (local backend), add a remote
control discovery UX for users on the same network, and tidy up header
bugs and formatting.
Update default remote control port from 3000 to 8765 in settings
store and component initialization to avoid conflicts with common
development ports and align with the desktop/tauri environment.
Unhide and scope the remote control UI to desktop builds only:
- Restore the remote control block in settings template and guard it
with @if (isDesktop) so the checkbox and description render for
desktop users (previously commented out as not ported).
- Keep the remote control settings section conditionally visible
when the remoteControl form value is true.
These changes ensure desktop users can configure and enable the
remote control feature with a non-conflicting default port.
Filter out pre-release GitHub releases (beta,, rc, preview,
dev, canary, nightly) when resolving the latest app version and
validate release names using semver. Sort stable releases by
creation date and return the most recent stable release name.
Add isVersionOutdated(current, latest) to compare coerced semver
versions safely, handling invalid formats with a warning. Move
version comparison logic from the settings component to the
SettingsService and use the new helper to determine if the
installed app is outdated. This prevents false positives from
pre-release tags and improves version parsing robustness.
Update channel.model to import Channel from the local interface file
instead of the package namespace. This fixes an incorrect module
resolution and keeps the codebase consistent with local typings.
Add a new SidebarView union type ('CHANNELS' | 'PLAYLISTS') to expose
possible sidebar view options for consumers of the shared interfaces.
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.
