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.
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.
Refactor error handling for Xtream requests to avoid showing user
snackbars when the request is a portal status check (get_account_info).
Instead of treating these errors as full failures, log them with
console.log to indicate the portal may be unavailable and return early.
Key changes:
- Introduce isStatusCheck detection in electron and pwa services.
- Replace console.error + snackbar with console.log for status checks.
- Only display snackbars for non-status-check errors.
- Add a console.log when pwa response has no payload for status checks.
This prevents unnecessary user-facing error popups for routine
portal health/status checks while keeping errors surfaced for other
requests.
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.
Refine MPV/VLC launch error handling in the renderer to extract and show
error.message when available, preventing unhelpful "[object Object]"
messages in the UI.
In the Electron backend, ensure failed MPV instances fall through to
creation by commenting intent, and wrap spawn in a promise to reliably
detect startup failures. On spawn error, clear stored references and
reject with a descriptive message that includes the mpv path. Add an
exit handler, conditional storage of the process for reuse, and proc.unref
for detached runs. Use a short timeout to resolve the promise when spawn
succeeds and log startup state. Convert a silent log to console.error and
rethrow the error to surface failures to callers.
These changes make MPV startup more robust and produce clearer error
feedback for debugging and UI notifications.
Enhance MPV player IPC handler to accept and forward extra parameters
(url, path, title, userAgent, referer, origin). Attempt to reuse an
existing MPV instance when reuse is enabled and an IPC socket is
available; if reuse fails, fall back to spawning a new process.
When creating a new MPV process, generate a unique platform-aware IPC
socket path, build arguments conditionally from provided metadata
(user-agent, referrer, origin via http-header-fields, force-media-title)
and append the URL last. Improve logging for debugging and handle
process spawn errors by clearing stale process/socket references.
These changes enable smoother playback handoff, preserve headers and
title for remote resources, and make MPV invocations more robust.
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.
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.
