EpgQueryService.getChannelMetadata swallowed database errors into {}, so the
guide's coverage read could publish an empty set after a transient failure;
the guide now uses the strict resolveChannelMetadata (getChannelMetadata is
the fail-soft wrapper around it). The active guide row is matched on the
whole channel entry (all fields except the reducer-rewritten epgParams)
before widening to url and id, so copies that differ only in playback
headers or logo are told apart.

The store spreads the selected channel, so the active row is matched by
id, url, group and name before widening; G no longer closes the guide from
a dialog or menu; guide answers use null-prototype records so a key named
__proto__ stays an own property.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Search hits carry scope-local row ids, so a scope change drops them.
Two playlist entries can share an id but not a stream, so the active row
is matched by id + url before falling back to the id. A failed coverage
query now rejects instead of answering an empty set, which the guide
already treats as "coverage unknown" (every row stays visible).

## Summary
Live TV panels now fold from the outside in, in three nested levels, instead of one toggle that hid the categories rail and the channel list together:
1. **Categories + channels + player** (browse, unchanged).
2. **Channels + player** — a new `chevron_left` in the categories rail header hides only that rail. The channels header then turns its title into a **category dropdown** that opens the same shell panel as a popover (search, sort, counts, selection are one implementation), plus a `chevron_right` that brings the rail back.
3. **Player only** — the channels header chevron, as before. The floating restore handle and `Cmd/Ctrl+B` return to the level the user collapsed from, not always to level 1.
Every level is restored as stored, per surface (`live-sidebar-state:<surface>`, from #1555): a hidden rail is discoverable through the workspace header toggle and the hidden-list empty state that #1555 added, so this PR no longer needs its original "player-only never restores" rule. The level `Cmd/Ctrl+B` comes back to is seeded from the restored level and kept for the session.
## Design notes
- Nested levels rather than two independent booleans: "channels hidden, categories visible" makes no sense since a category click has to bring the channels back anyway. The model follows the outside-in collapse of three-pane apps (Mail, Slack, Plex).
- The categories rail folds at level 2 **only while a category is selected**: the live root ("All Items" grid) has no channels header to host the way back, so folding there would strand the user. Level 3 folds it regardless, because the floating restore handle lives in the content area.
- `LIVE_CATEGORIES_POPOVER` (`@iptvnator/portal/shared/util`) is the DI bridge: the workspace shell provides `WorkspaceLiveCategoriesPopoverService` (CDK overlay hosting `WorkspaceContextPanelComponent` in `presentation="popover"`), the Xtream and Stalker live layouts inject it optionally and keep their plain heading without a provider.
- M3U and the unified live tab have no categories rail and treat level 2 like level 1; their code is untouched.
## Merged with #1555 (per-surface rail state)
#1555 landed while this PR was open and reworked the same service: state per surface (`m3u` / `portal` / `collection`), a workspace header toggle, the hidden-list empty state, and the legacy shared key forgotten on startup. This PR keeps that model and layers the three levels onto the `portal` surface (`areCategoriesHiddenFor`, `hideCategories` / `showCategories` / `collapse` / `expand` per surface; `toggle(surface)` returns to the level the surface collapsed from). "Show playing channel" uses `expand('portal')` so it keeps a deliberately hidden categories rail folded, and the category sort preference moved to `PortalCategorySortStateService` so the popover copy of the context panel and the retained rail agree.
## Also fixed along the way
- The channels header showed "Channels" instead of the category name: provider category ids are strings, the selection is numeric. Compared via `String()` now.
- A collapsed context panel left a 22px padding strip beside the channels rail.
- The panel toggle labels said "Hide channels list" while also hiding categories; labels and tooltips are honest now (8 new i18n keys, all 18 locales).

Adopts the compact icon-only timeline toolbar (#1557): the Guide button is
now an icon-only `epg-timeline__iconbtn` with its label in the tooltip and

Imports a two-channel playlist with XMLTV, opens the guide from the
timeline toolbar and asserts the row list, the "Only with EPG" filter, a
channel switch that keeps the guide open, the hidden-but-mounted sidebar,
and that the player element survives both the mode and channel switches.

* fix(live-tv): keep a hidden channel list discoverable and scoped per surface
The second report in #1458 ("all channels disappear after clearing the
playback history, reset does not bring them back") was not data loss: the
history write never touches playlist items. The reporter's screenshot shows
a collapsed channel rail, a state persisted under one localStorage key
shared by the M3U player, the Xtream/Stalker live layouts and the
favorites/recent live tab. It survived restart, "Remove all playlists" and
re-import, and the only way back was a 32px chevron or Ctrl/Cmd+B.
- LiveLayoutSidebarStateService keeps the state per surface (m3u / portal /
collection) under live-sidebar-state:<surface>; the M3U player now goes
through the service instead of its own signal. The legacy shared key is
forgotten on startup and never read, so the update itself restores the
list for everyone who got stuck.
- The workspace header renders a view_sidebar toggle on every route that
renders its own rail (M3U all/groups, Xtream live, Stalker itv/radio), so
the control exists in both states instead of disappearing with the rail.
Collection pages keep their own toggle beside the content switch.
- While the rail is collapsed and nothing plays, every live host shows
app-channel-list-hidden-state (title, shortcut hint, full-size "Show
channels list" button) instead of asking to pick from a list that is not
on screen. app-portal-empty-state gained optional hint/action inputs.
- New LAYOUT.CHANNELS_LIST_HIDDEN(_HINT) strings in en plus 18 locales.
Tests: service, empty-state, hidden-state and header component specs, a
separate video-player-sidebar spec (the main M3U spec sits at the test
line budget), and an Electron E2E covering history clearing, restore via
button/header/shortcut across restart and re-import, per-surface scoping
against an Xtream portal, and legacy-key cleanup.

* test(live-tv): mirror the EPG offset setting in the sidebar spec mock
Master's player reads `resolvedEpgOffsetMinutes` from the settings store; the
new sidebar spec was cloned from the movie-gate harness before that field
landed, so its playing-channel case threw inside the EPG effect.

* test(web-e2e): scope the Stalker radio rail toggles to the rail
The workspace header now carries a second "Hide/Show channels list" toggle,
so the role+name locators matched more than one button and tripped
Playwright's strict mode. Target the rail's own chevron and the floating
restore button, and assert the header toggle mirrors the state.

* fix(live-tv): honour Cmd/Ctrl+B on collection pages and hide the header rail toggle on phones
Codex review follow-ups on #1555:
- The hidden-list state advertises Cmd/Ctrl+B, but the favorites/recent
collection page had no handler; only the routed M3U/Xtream/Stalker live
layouts did. The page now toggles the collection surface while its live
tab is on screen, with the same typing/inert guards as the other hosts.
- At the phone breakpoint the header already holds the drawer toggle,
switcher, search and Add; the live rail is a bottom drawer with its own
toggle there, so the header rail toggle is hidden below 640px.

* fix(live-tv): migrate the live navigation helpers to the per-surface sidebar API
master (#1554) added `XtreamLiveChannelNavigationService` and
`stalker-live-navigation.ts`, which expand the rail through
`sidebar.setState('expanded')` on the pre-split signature. Point them at the
`portal` surface and update their specs; drop the now-unused hidden-state
stub from the Xtream layout spec, which master pushed to the max-lines
budget.

Correct the guide query's JSDoc: it runs one query accepting the union
of requested-source and unsourced legacy rows, unlike EpgQueryService's
two-query scoped-then-legacy fallback. Replace the hand-maintained
plain-SQL twin of the Drizzle overlap predicate with a rendered copy of
the real predicate (SQLiteSyncDialect().sqlToQuery) in the spec, add a
source-scoping case, and drop the now-redundant operator-sequence test.
warnIfTruncated reuses uniqueTrimmedStrings and names which read
(programme/coverage) was truncated. Rename epg-query.service.ts's local
EpgProgramRow to EpgProgramSelectRow so it isn't confused with the
shared EpgProgramRow type, and document getProgramCoverage like its
sibling.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Scoped guide programme/coverage queries now include legacy
(unsourced) rows via source_url IN (...) OR IS NULL OR '',
mirroring EpgQueryService's legacy fallback.
- getProgramsForChannels/getProgramCoverage build their result from
the normalized, capped window.channelIds instead of the raw
request, so a key cut by the cap is absent rather than [] — an
invalid window now returns {}. Truncation logs counts only.
- Split the 100-channel guide cap from a new 2000-key coverage cap,
and cap sourceUrls at 50; normalizeGuideWindow takes the cap as a
parameter and moved (with guideWindowOverlapSqlText) into
epg-guide-window.util.ts.
- Extracted shared row mapping (toEpgProgramFromRow/isValidEpgProgram)
into epg-program-row.util.ts, used by both EpgQueryService and
EpgGuideQueryService so invalid start/stop rows are dropped
identically in both.
- Added a real-SQLite-backed test for the overlap predicate's exact
text, plus per-key array copies in the response.

* feat(epg): compact timeline toolbar with icon-only Now and cycling zoom
Replace the 96px zoom range slider with a single icon button that cycles
day overview → by hour → detailed, make the Now button icon-only (label in
tooltip + aria-label), and add Ctrl/⌘ + wheel zoom around the cursor on the
ribbon (preventDefault keeps Chromium from page-zooming the same gesture).
Zoom math moves into TimelineZoomController so the component stays under
the max-lines limit. The channel/programme heading no longer carries a 60%
width cap and takes the space the controls free up.

- TimelineZoomController keeps a logical pending scrollLeft across a burst
of wheel/pinch events and applies it in one animation frame, so every
event anchors on the same minute instead of the stale DOM position
- the e2e settles on the detail preset from whichever band the wheel
landed in (contrast checks need the block's time line, hidden at
narrower tiers)
- zoom tooltip advertises ⌘/Ctrl per the repo's shortcut convention

* feat(website): rebuild the hero, features, download and support sections
Third landing redesign PR: the home page now speaks the app's own
language instead of a template's.
- Hero: left-aligned headline, a primary button that follows the
visitor's OS (server-rendered fallback goes to /download/), an "All
platforms" button and a text link for self-hosting. Project numbers
(stars, downloads, languages, license) are set in the page's own
typography from the GitHub API at build time (`lib/github-stats.ts`);
anything the build cannot resolve is left out rather than faked. A
small "Now playing" card with fictional demo content replaces the
mascot, badges and social chips; the screenshot is lit by a blurred
copy of itself, like the player's ambient mode.
- Features: a bento of interface fragments (EPG rows with progress,
posters with a resume bar, a download queue with a REC dot, a remote
D-pad) instead of numbered cards with icon watermarks and a marquee.
The marquee CSS is gone.
- Download: one row per platform with the release's file names and a
"Detected" badge for the visitor's OS (`lib/detect-platform.ts`),
package-manager commands in the same panel.
- Support becomes a single row; the disclaimer moves into the footer,
which also gets the mascot and a link list.
- Home sections drop the decorative eyebrows and the divider rules; the
unused broadcast-wave, support-signal and watermark illustrations are
removed.

* test(website): cover the rebuilt home sections and the OS-aware download CTA
`website-home-sections.test.mjs` (in the website test target) reads the
built home page — generic hero CTA to /download/, project facts, no
badge images or dashed borders, every feature page linked from the
bento, one download row per platform with release file names and the
Detected badge hidden, the disclaimer and mascot in the footer — and
then drives it in Chromium under Windows, macOS, Linux and Android user
agents: the primary button and the Detected row follow the platform,
the phone keeps the generic markup, and the copy button writes the
command to the clipboard.
`detectPlatform()` now consults the user-agent string before the
client-hints platform and the deprecated `navigator.platform`, so the
source a visitor's tools actually change decides first; silent sources
fall through instead of vetoing.

* fix(website): keep iPads on the generic download path
iPadOS asks for desktop sites with a Macintosh user agent and a
`MacIntel` platform, so the OS guess sent iPad visitors to the macOS
installers. A "mac" verdict is now trusted only on a device without
touch points: no Mac has a touch screen, every iPad reports several.
The browser test adds an iPad-in-desktop-mode row to the generic-device
matrix next to the Android phone.

* fix(migration): recover legacy desktop sources without replacing current data
* test(migration): cover legacy recovery IPC contracts
* test(migration): use static legacy Electron bootstrap
* feat(website): turn the screenshot showcase into a channel switcher
Second landing redesign PR. "See it in action" was a tab strip in a
dashed frame showing one screenshot inside a drawn window chrome that
duplicated the chrome already in the shot. It is now a channel list:
number, screen name and one line about what the screen is for on the
left, a single frame on the right, and a caption linking to the matching
feature page.
- Channels advance on their own with a progress hairline under the
active row; hovering, focusing or scrolling the block out of view
pauses it and `prefers-reduced-motion` disables autoplay entirely.
- A brief on-screen "CH 03" badge confirms every switch.
- Arrow keys, Home and End move between channels; the list is a proper
vertical tablist with roving tabindex, panels carry `aria-hidden`.
- Six screens: Dashboard, Live TV, Program guide, Movies & series,
Downloads, Settings. Same files from `public/screenshots`; the
add-playlist shot is replaced by the movie detail and the download
manager.
- On phones the screen comes first and the list follows.

* test(website): cover the channel switcher, keep focus pausing after mouseleave
Hover and focus now pause autoplay independently: clicking a channel
focused it, but moving the pointer away resumed the timer and seven
seconds later the selection moved under a still-focused tab.
New `website-screenshot-showcase.test.mjs` (in the website test target):
a structural half over the built HTML (vertical tablist, roving
tabindex, one aria-hidden panel per channel) and a browser half that
serves the build and drives it in Chromium — autoplay advances, hover
pauses, click + mouseleave keeps the pause while focused, arrow/Home/End
keys move selection, focus, panel, caption and badge together, blur
resumes, and `prefers-reduced-motion` disables autoplay. The browser
half falls back to the system Chrome channel and skips when no Chromium
exists, so the structural checks run everywhere.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf(website): lazy-load every showcase screenshot
The block sits below the hero and the feature grid, so an eager first
frame only competed with above-the-fold assets for visitors who never
scroll to it. Native look-ahead loading brings it in well before the
switcher is on screen.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(website): share the browser harness, fail in CI without Chromium
`website-browser-support.mjs` owns the loopback static server and the
Chromium launcher for the website browser tests. The server resolves
every request against the build root and answers 404 for anything that
escapes it (CodeQL js/path-injection on the previous inline copy). The
launcher tries the Playwright download, then the system Chrome and
Chromium channels; when none launches it returns null locally so the
structural half still runs, and throws under `CI` so the interaction
assertions can never turn into a silent skip on the runner.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf(website): defer inactive showcase frames, document the browser tests
The six frames are stacked with opacity, so native lazy loading treated
all of them as near-viewport and fetched every screenshot at once. Only
the first frame now ships with a `src`; the switcher assigns it from
`data-src` when a channel is shown and preloads the one after it, so at
most two frames are ever in flight. The showcase test asserts the
markup and the runtime behaviour.
The website README now describes the browser-dependent suites, the
shared harness, and the skip-locally / fail-in-CI rule.

* docs(website): describe only the suite this PR adds
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(website): resume the switcher from where it paused, keep DOM order on phones
The dwell clock now stops while the switcher is hovered or focused and
the pause time is added back on resume, so the progress hairline
continues from its frozen position instead of snapping to zero and
granting a fresh seven seconds. The test asserts the resume.
On phones the list stays before the screen in the DOM and on screen
(tabs before their panels, focus order equals reading order); it hides
the per-channel descriptions and the keyboard hint there so the screen
stays close instead of being reordered with `order-first`.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(website): never crop a showcase frame
The screen box stretches to the channel list's row height, and with
`object-cover` a wide screenshot lost its right side just above the
`lg` breakpoint. Frames are now contained on a dark stage (a letterbox,
as on a TV), and the per-channel descriptions are hidden between `lg`
and `xl` so the row stays close to the frame's own height.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(website): pause the switcher dwell while offscreen instead of resetting it
Leaving the viewport is now a pause like hover and focus: the frame
loop stops, the progress hairline keeps its width, and the clock
resumes from the same mark when the block scrolls back in. Only a
channel change resets the dwell. The interaction test scrolls away and
back to assert it.

* perf(website): no next-frame prefetch when reduced motion disables autoplay
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(website): persistent pause control for the channel switcher
Hover and focus only pause while they last, which is no use to touch or
screen-reader visitors, so the list footer now carries a Pause/Resume
toggle (`aria-pressed`, full `aria-label`) that keeps autoplay stopped
until pressed again (WCAG 2.2.2). It is removed under reduced motion,
where nothing advances.
The interaction test now waits for the seven-second rollover and checks
that tab, panel, caption, badge and the preloaded frame all move to
channel 02, and that the toggle holds through mouseleave and blur.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(website): keep the tablist to its tabs, no successor prefetch when autoplay is off
The channel list's header and the Pause/Resume control sat inside the
`role="tablist"` container; the tablist now wraps only the six tabs so
assistive technology reads the toggle as an ordinary button beside the
list. `show()` preloads the next frame only while autoplay can reach it
(neither reduced motion nor the toggle has stopped it). Tests assert
both.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(website): preload the successor when auto-advance resumes
A channel picked while the switcher is paused deliberately skips its
successor; resuming now fetches that frame so the next automatic switch
does not land on a blank screen. The interaction test covers
pause → manual selection → resume.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(website): Resume restarts autoplay at once; same-channel progress in the test
The transient hover/focus pauses now watch only the channel list and the
screen. The footer with the Pause/Resume control is not one of those
regions, so after pressing Resume — with the pointer and the focus still
on the button — autoplay visibly restarts instead of waiting for the
visitor to leave the whole block.
The interaction test compares progress within one channel (a paused
Movies before and after Resume) rather than across channels, which
could fail on a slow runner, and asserts that autoplay runs while the
toggle keeps focus and hover.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* perf(website): one scheduler for the switcher, no frames while paused
Every pause reason (hover, focus, the toggle, leaving the viewport) now
goes through a single `sync()`: the animation-frame loop runs only while
the block is visible and nothing pauses it, and is cancelled otherwise,
so a switcher left paused schedules no frames at all. The dwell clock
still resumes from where it froze, and the successor frame is fetched
only when the loop actually starts — so scrolling away and back under a
persistent pause loads nothing. Tests count scheduled frames while
paused and cover pause → manual selection → offscreen → return.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(website): a channel picked while paused gets its full dwell after Resume
`show()` reset the pause mark, so the time a visitor spent paused after
picking a channel counted toward that channel's dwell and Resume could
advance immediately. When the loop is not running the new channel now
starts out paused at that moment. The interaction test asserts the
progress is still near zero right after Resume.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(website): follow reduced-motion changes and hidden tabs in the switcher
The reduced-motion preference is read from a live MediaQueryList: when
it changes while the page is open the scheduler stops or restarts and
the Pause/Resume control is hidden or shown (it is hidden, not removed,
for that reason). A hidden document counts as a pause too — background
tabs throttle animation frames while the clock keeps running, so
without it the first frame back would skip a channel. The interaction
test flips both at runtime.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(website): plain action button for the switcher pause, no manual animations under reduced motion
`aria-pressed` on a button whose name changes between "Pause
auto-advance" and "Resume auto-advance" announced the wrong thing; the
control is now an ordinary action button whose name says what pressing
it does next. The OSD slide and the panel fade get
`motion-reduce:transition-none`, so a manual selection under reduced
motion moves nothing.

Tags were decorative: a plain span on every card and post header, with no
page, filter or search behind them, and a vocabulary of 32 slugs across 16
posts where 22 slugs appeared once. They now form a closed vocabulary of ten
topics (src/lib/blog-tags.ts) that the content collection schema enforces, so
an unknown slug fails the build instead of minting a new tag.
Every used tag gets a hub at /blog/tag/<tag>/ with CollectionPage and
BreadcrumbList structured data; the blog index and the hubs show a "Topics"
rail with post counts; and every chip links to its hub. The cards become
<article> elements with the title link stretched over the card, because chip
links cannot nest inside a card that is one big <a>.
Posts are retagged to the new vocabulary. A structural test covers the rail,
each hub, the chip targets, the sitemap and the absence of nested anchors.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The blog card kept the date and every tag in one non-wrapping flex row, so a
post with five or six tags overflowed the card frame and the date broke across
three lines inside the three-column grid. The date now sits on its own
non-wrapping line, tags wrap below it, and only the first three render as chips
while the rest collapse into a "+N" chip whose tooltip lists them. The featured
card still shows every tag.
The homepage rendered two cards under the featured post and left the third grid
column empty; it now shows three.

First of three landing redesign PRs. This one only touches tokens and

- Replace every dashed border with a solid hairline; `.card-dotted`
becomes `.card-panel` (bg step + hairline, lighter hairline on hover)
and the section divider is solid `surface-800`.
- Swap the display face from Playfair Display to Bricolage Grotesque
(DM Sans body and IBM Plex Mono unchanged). The italic accent word
that every heading repeated is gone; only page-level h1s keep the
accent, and as colour rather than italic.
- Remove the CRT/TV effects: the `.btn-tv` block and its nine keyframes,
the scanline overlay on the hero screenshot, the CRT hover overlay and
teal glow shadows on feature cards, the pulsing mascot, and the unused
scan/tv-* Tailwind animations.
- The hero download button and the header Download link are now solid
accent buttons; the self-host link is a plain text link.
- Blog tag chips use neutral surface borders so teal stays reserved for
actions.

players vs embedded MPV vs external MPV/VLC, and the desktop app vs the
self-hosted browser version. Each opens with a one-paragraph verdict,
carries a feature matrix whose cells are yes, no or a qualifier, and
emits WebPage / FAQPage / BreadcrumbList JSON-LD — not
SoftwareApplication, because guidance is not a product listing.
These compare IPTVnator's own options against each other rather than
naming other products, so every cell is checkable against this
repository. Pages that name competitors remain phase 3's open half; the
plan now records what has to be decided first.
A registry in src/lib/comparisons.ts drives the hub, the switcher and
the tests. The header gains a Compare entry and the features hub links
across. tools/testing/website-compare-pages.test.mjs checks canonical
URLs, the verdict block, the table, schema, cross-links and sitemap
entries.

The native-view addons and the external MPV launch path already run with
`ytdl=no`, but the frame-copy helper left mpv's default, so a refused HTTP
open fell through to ytdl_hook and yt-dlp before failing. That delayed the
`error` transition the auto-reconnect policy waits for and could leave the
session error reading "youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred"
instead of the load error.
Set `ytdl=no` in the helper's built-in block, before the stdin
`mpv-options` loop, so a user `ytdl=yes` session option still overrides
it. Document the helper's built-in block next to the other session-option
transports and add a release note.
Verified by rebuilding the helper against Homebrew libmpv and driving the
binary by hand against a connection-refused URL: the built-in default logs
only the ffmpeg/stream errors, while a `ytdl=yes` stdin line spawns yt-dlp.

Adds a global EPG display-time offset (Settings → EPG, whole minutes, ±720) for guides whose provider labels programme times with the wrong timezone. Display-only: parsed XMLTV values, SQLite rows, catch-up URLs and recording snapshots keep the provider's own times, so changing it needs no guide refresh. Closes the global part of #50.
The contract lives in `libs/shared/interfaces/src/lib/epg-display-offset.util.ts` with two equivalent forms: `epgDisplayTimeMs` shifts a programme for display, `epgProviderClockMs` shifts "now" into the provider's clock for every "currently airing" decision — the batched `GET_CURRENT_PROGRAMS_BATCH` lookup takes an explicit `nowMs`, and the channel lists, the Xtream/Stalker previews, the M3U player's current-programme mirror, the unified collection resolver, the dashboard live cards and the recording overlap all pick the same programme the guide renders as "now". Portal short-EPG windows start at the provider's own "now", so under a non-zero offset the Xtream preview surfaces cut their window from the full guide at the provider clock, Stalker short-EPG requests are widened for negative offsets, and every per-stream memory of the previous offset is retired together when the setting changes.

* fix(playback): seek Embedded MPV steps relative to mpv's own position
Arrow keys and the ±10 s buttons in the Embedded MPV player advanced only
about a second per press when pressed repeatedly or held. The shortcuts
already asked for 5 s steps, but `EmbeddedMpvCommandRunner.seekBy` turned
each step into an absolute `seek` computed from `session.positionSeconds`,
which is floored to whole seconds, polled every 500 ms (helper snapshots at
most every 250 ms) and not refreshed by the seek reply. Every press inside
that window therefore landed on the same target.
Steps now go through a new `EMBEDDED_MPV_SEEK_BY` IPC / `seekEmbeddedMpvBy`
bridge method that every backend forwards as mpv `seek <delta>
relative+exact`: `seekBy` exports in the macOS addon and the Windows/Linux
`wid` addon (Linux over its JSON IPC socket), and a `seek-by` stdin command
in the frame-copy helper. mpv resolves the delta against its own position
and merges queued relative seeks, so presses accumulate as in mpv itself.
The absolute form survives only as a fallback for a preload without the
method or an addon binary without `seekBy`; the timeline scrub still
commits an absolute target.
Validated with a real mpv 0.39 IPC probe: three relative seeks in a burst
advance +15 s, three absolute seeks from one stale base advance +5 s.

* fix(playback): drop speculative position update from relative Embedded MPV seeks
Review follow-up for the relative seek path.
The macOS and Windows/Linux `seekBy` exports advanced `snapshot.positionSeconds`
by the delta after dispatching the mpv command. That is not idempotent the way
the absolute seek's optimistic write is: the observer (mpv event thread, or
the Linux IPC poll) can already have stored the post-seek `time-pos` under the
same mutex, so adding the delta on top counted the step twice, and while paused
nothing corrected it. On Linux it also advertised a position that a failed
socket delivery never reached. Relative steps now leave the snapshot alone;
only the observed `time-pos` updates the position.
The packaged Linux frame-copy smoke now drives `seekEmbeddedMpvBy` through the
built app: a burst of three +2 s steps issued without waiting for snapshots has
to land on 6 s, and a -60 s step has to clamp at 0. The generated Y4M fixture
grows from 2 s to 12 s (about 415 KB) so the burst and the playing section that
follows stay inside the clip. Replayed against a local mpv 0.39 with the same
fixture and media server: burst -> 6.0, -60 -> 0.

* docs(agents): mirror the Embedded MPV relative-seek contract into AGENTS.md
Review follow-up: the Shared Player Controls section documents the frame-copy
commands and shortcuts, so the relative seekEmbeddedMpvBy invariant lives
there too, next to the CLAUDE.md note.

* fix(playback): reject a Linux relative seek the mpv IPC socket did not accept
Review follow-up: the Linux branch of SeekBy discarded the socket transaction
result and returned normally, so a step that never reached mpv looked like a
seek still awaiting observation. It now throws like a failed mpv_command_async
on the in-process engines; the renderer swallows the rejection and resyncs
from the next snapshot, and the main process logs it.

Publish /features/ with one landing page per feature people search for:
M3U playlist player, Xtream Codes player, Stalker portal player, TV
guide (EPG) and phone remote control. Each page composes a feature hero
(download and setup-guide calls to action) with the download-page
sections, carries SoftwareApplication (featureList) / FAQPage /
BreadcrumbList structured data, links to the other feature pages and
the matching guides, and uses only mock-backed screenshots.
A registry in src/lib/features.ts drives the hub, the per-page
switcher, the homepage feature cards (now links) and the header
Features entry, so a new page is one registry entry and one .astro
file. tools/testing/website-feature-pages.test.mjs checks canonical
URLs, schema, cross-links, hub coverage and sitemap entries.

Publish "How to Load an M3U Playlist and Add an EPG in IPTVnator": the
three import methods plus drag-and-drop and OS file opening, the
playlist views, refresh and startup auto-update, attaching an XMLTV
guide through Settings or a url-tvg header, the tvg-id / tvg-name /
name matching order with manual mapping, catch-up attributes,
troubleshooting and a seven-question FAQ. The three guides now link to
each other, the download pages point at all three, and llms.txt lists
the new one.
Three guide shots join the manifest: the M3U URL dialog, the Groups
view (reusing open-m3u-groups under the guides group) and the EPG
settings section with a staged source row. A settings shot leaves the
form dirty, which arms the app's close guard and blocked app.close()
indefinitely; the capture now discards unsaved settings before every
action and before teardown, and bounds every locator wait.

Follow-up to #1516 for the vendor-chrome path (shared controls opted out). With
Video.js's own controls, Chromium leaves a clicked control-bar button focused,
and a focused Video.js component captures the keyboard entirely, so after
clicking fullscreen Space left fullscreen instead of pausing and the seek,
volume and mute keys did nothing until the user clicked the video. ArtPlayer
and the native HTML5 controls were verified unaffected.
The legacy Video.js chrome now releases the focus a pointer interaction leaves
on a control (vjs-pointer-focus-release.ts). The release is scoped to the
.vjs-control-bar and pointer-attributed, and runs on both focusin (focus
landing on a control, e.g. a menu handing focus to its button) and click (a
control clicked while already focused, which fires no focusin); keyboard Tab
focus and modal-dialog focus traps are preserved. The eligibility helper is
shared with ControlsSurface via pointer-focus-release.ts.
