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
Add a new standalone ContentHero component (template and TS) that
provides a cinematic hero section with backdrop, poster, title,
description, tags/meta/action slots, and a back button event emitter.
The component chooses backdrop or poster as the background, falls back
to a default poster image on load error, and exposes inputs for title,
description, posterUrl, and backdropUrl.
Introduce extensive cinematic styles for the detail view:
- define CSS custom properties for light and dark themes, poster size,
shadows, and color tokens
- implement gradient vignette, layout sizing, and theming via
:host and :host-context(.dark-theme)
- change container sizing behavior to full-height and hide overflow
These changes create a reusable hero UI and themed detail-page styles
to support a Netflix-style streaming detail experience.
Update translations and refactor StalkerPortalImportComponent to use
Angular signals and readonly/dependency-injected readonly properties.
- Add new i18n keys: LOADING_SEASONS and NO_EPISODES; adjust
PLAYBACK_ERROR punctuation.
- Replace EventEmitter @Output with a signals-based readonly output and
mark form, constants and flags as readonly.
- Switch to inject() style for services and mark many injected fields
private/readonly to clarify intent.
- Replace DataService import with STALKER_SERIAL_NUMBER token import.
- Improve logging formatting, whitespace and minor code cleanup.
- Minor template/style whitespace fixes.
These changes modernize the component for better immutability,
improve DX with clearer logging, and add missing user-facing
translation strings.
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.
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 app-region: drag to container and header elements and app-region:
no-drag to interactive controls multiple components so the
Tauri window dragging behaves correctly while keeping buttons and form
controls clickable. Expand header search max width from 500px to 800px
to give more room on larger screens. Clean up and restyle video-player
toolbar toolbar primary colors and unify toolbar spacing.
Files changed include navigation, sidebar, header, main containers,
live-stream layout, navigation-bar, stalker container, and video-player
toolbar. These changes improve window drag UX on desktop and refine
toolbar/header appearance.
Change overflow handling in the xtream detail-view SCSS files to avoid
unwanted scrollbars and ensure proper layout stretching. In the web
version, remove a global overflow:auto and set overflow:visible on the
.details block and the grid container so inner content can expand as
needed. In the tauri variant, remove a min-height that forced an
artificial viewport-based height.
These tweaks fix layout clipping and scrollbar issues when detail
content
grows, and allow natural sizing across web and Tauri builds.
Update category header and list views to provide clearer context
and improve navigation state handling.
- Display category name with current page/total pages when viewing a
category (non-detail) so users see which page they're on.
- Add i18n "PAGE" key and fill "SELECT_CATEGORY" in translations for
en/de/ru to support the new page label and existing messaging.
- Tidy live-stream layout template formatting and fix filter pipe
spacing for consistency.
- Change no-channel-selected fallback to use the translated
"PORTALS.SELECT_CATEGORY" string.
- Preserve category selection state on CategoryContentView init:
only set selected category when the route category differs from
the current selection to keep paging/scroll position when returning
from a detail view.
These changes improve UX by making pagination explicit and avoiding
unnecessary state resets when navigating between list and detail.
Add a disabled category icon button next to the "Select category"
placeholder in the live stream layout when no channel is selected, and
align the placeholder text and icon with flex and spacing. This gives a
clearer visual cue for the missing category.
Also add missing translation keys ("SELECT_CATEGORY" and "PAGE") to
English, Russian and German locale files so the new UI text and paging
label are available across supported languages.
Remove unused .link-input styles from player-dialog component and tidy
vod-details template indentation and structure. Reformat container and
image/detail sections to use consistent indentation, add an alt attribute
to the movie poster img, replace several label elements with simpler divs
for clearer semantics, and ensure placeholder-cover fallback remains.
These changes improve readability, reduce unused CSS, and enhance HTML
accessibility.
Add a complete Angular template for the Xtream Tauri account-info dialog.
The new HTML lays out user and server information in a responsive
two-column grid, including status, username, connection counts,
creation/expiry dates, trial indicator, allowed output formats and
server details (live/movies/series counts, URL, protocol, timezone,
server time and ports). Translation pipes are used for all labels and
conditional classes mark active/trial states. This provides a full UI
for displaying parsed accountInfo data and prepares the dialog for
binding with component logic and styles.
Save and restore favorited and recently viewed Xtream items when
deleting and re-importing playlist content.
- Return favoritedXtreamIds and recentlyViewedXtreamIds from
deleteXtreamPlaylistContent so callers can capture user data before
.
- Add restoreXtreamUserData to the database service to allow restoring
favorites and recently viewed entries after a refresh.
- Query and collect xtreamIds and timestamps for favorites and recently
viewed items in the backend before deleting content.
- Persist the captured user data to localStorage in the recent playlists
component so it can be used to restore state after re-importing the
playlist.
- Keep existing playlist metadata update flow intact.
This prevents loss of user-specific favorites and recent history when
refreshing Xtream playlists.
Update navigation components to improve sidebar usability and layout.
- Reformat stalker-shell navigation binding to align attributes consistently.
- Add matTooltip and matTooltipPosition to portal icon and nav items to
surface portal status and item labels on hover.
Rework navigation markup to use mat-nav-list, add home shortcut and dividers,
and hide several textual labels/actions by commenting them out to create a
more compact icon-only sidebar while preserving code for future restore.
- Collapse unused portal info/actions and library labels into comments to
simplify DOM while keeping structure for reactivation.
These changes make the left navigation more compact, provide quick hover
context via tooltips, and prepare the UI for a condensed icon-driven layout.
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.
