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.
- Replaced the existing favorites component HTML structure with a new app-favorites-layout component for better organization and maintainability.
- Removed unused styles from favorites.component.scss.
- Updated favorites.component.ts to utilize the new layout component and streamline imports.
- Enhanced detail-view styles for improved responsiveness and layout consistency.
- Adjusted navigation component to conditionally render elements based on playlist type.
- Introduced a new NavigationItem interface for better type safety in navigation items.
- Refactored search results component to utilize new search-form and search-result-item components for cleaner code and separation of concerns.
- Updated vod-details component to handle portal ID retrieval more robustly.
- Made various style adjustments across components for improved UI consistency.
- Added `StalkerSearchComponent` for searching VOD and series content.
- Integrated search form and results grid with loading states.
- Implemented item selection and details display for VOD and series.
- Created a new `StalkerShellComponent` for navigation and routing.
- Established routing for Stalker module with nested routes for VOD, series, and favorites.
- Introduced a centralized `StalkerStore` for managing state and API interactions.
- Enhanced `StalkerSeriesViewComponent` to display detailed information about selected series.
- Updated styles for improved layout and user experience.
