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.

Batch removal fanned out per-item read-modify-write calls against the
playlist's recentlyViewed JSON column via Promise.all, racing each other so
only the last write persisted. Group non-Xtream items by playlistId and use
a new removeFromPlaylistRecentlyViewedBatch helper that filters all
identities in a single read-filter-write per playlist.

PortalStatusService previously did one IPC + HTTPS round-trip per call,
forcing every consumer to roll its own cache (or, more often, not).
The result: opening the homepage rendered N playlist-item components
that each fired their own check, then opening the playlist switcher
fired N more for the same portals.
Move the cache and dedup into the service:
- 30 s TTL cache keyed by `${serverUrl}|${username}|${password}`. Same
credentials = same cache entry, regardless of which playlist row
triggered it.
- In-flight dedup via Map<key, Promise<PortalStatus>>. Two callers
hitting the same portal in the same tick share one network request
instead of racing.
- New `getCachedStatus()` for sync read (used by playlist-switcher to
hydrate the UI on menu open without awaiting).
- New `clearStatusCache()` for log-out / debug flows.
Add `{ skipCache: true }` opt-out for the Xtream import dialog's
"Test Connection" button — that's a user-initiated check that must
return fresh truth, not a 30 s old cached result.
Net result: in the common flow (homepage → switcher), the switcher
opens with cached status indicators instantly. The single in-flight
dedup prevents the playlist-item ngOnInit + switcher onMenuOpened from
racing for the same portal.
Removed the component-local cache from playlist-switcher; service is
now the single source of truth.

Opening the playlist switcher fired one XTREAM_REQUEST IPC + HTTPS
round-trip per Xtream playlist and only updated the UI after ALL of
them resolved. A single slow or hung portal pinned every status dot
in the menu to the misleading red 'unavailable' state for the full
tail latency (often several seconds, sometimes longer).
Four changes land together:
1. Stream results — each portal's dot updates via signal.update() the
moment ITS request resolves, independent of the slowest one. The
previous Promise.all wrote a single Map at the end; now the Map
grows incrementally.
2. New 'checking' status — extends PortalStatus with a pulsing-dot
visual so users see "we're working on it" instead of red dots
that look like failures. Respects prefers-reduced-motion.
3. 30-second TTL cache — opening, closing, and reopening the menu
within 30s reuses prior status results and skips the IPC entirely.
Cache survives across menu opens but is per-component instance
(a global cache is a possible follow-up).
4. AbortController cancellation — closing the menu (or destroying the
component) cancels in-flight checks so a slow portal can't write
stale results into the next round. Solves the 'rapidly open/close
the menu and watch dots flicker' problem.
The actual IPC layer wasn't changed — the wins come purely from
streaming, caching, and not lying to the user about portal state.

iptv-playlist-parser statically imports the entire validator library
(~130KB across 113 files). Because PlaylistsService is eager (re-exported
through the 'services' barrel that AppComponent imports), validator was
landing in the cold-start preloaded chunk even though parse() only runs
on user-triggered playlist imports (FILE/URL/TEXT add).
Switch handlePlaylistParsing() to dynamic-import the parser. The two
callers (playlist-backup.service and the parsePlaylist$ NgRx effect)
needed minor adjustments — the effect now uses mergeMap(from(...)) to
flatten the Promise back into the action stream.
Cold-start preloaded chunk: 1511KB -> 1374KB (-9%).
Validator now sits in a separate ~129KB chunk that loads only when
the user adds a playlist.

Clearing all recents of a given content type fired N concurrent IPC calls,
each opening its own implicit transaction in the recently_viewed table.
For users with hundreds of recently-watched VOD/series rows this added
real overhead even though the UI updates optimistically.
Add a new DB_REMOVE_RECENT_ITEMS_BATCH path end-to-end:
- removeRecentItemsBatch() Drizzle op: one transaction, one prepared
statement reused per row
- Wire through worker → IPC handler → preload → window.electron typings
→ DatabaseService
- UnifiedRecentDataService.removeRecentItemsBatch() groups items by
source. Xtream items go through the new batch IPC. M3U/Stalker items
still go per-playlist because they update a JSON column on the
playlist row, not the recently_viewed table — but they now run in
parallel with the Xtream batch via a single Promise.all.
- Single call site updated: unified-collection-page "Clear all of type"
confirmation handler.
