A movie that exists in several imported Xtream playlists now shows a "Sources N" chip on its detail page and in the player. Switching playlist mid-film keeps the timecode, a preferred source can be pinned per movie, and a failed stream offers the alternatives instead of a dead end. The governing rule is that a guess is never presented as a fact. Every metadata value carries where it came from — `api` (the provider said so), `parsed` (inferred from the title) or `probe` (we contacted the stream). Facts render as plain tags, guesses are prefixed `~` in a warning colour, and an unknown value renders no tag at all plus a "check" affordance. Ranking and failover read through `factualOnly()`, so a filename claiming 4K is structurally unable to outrank a source that was actually reached. A probe that could not complete reports "unknown", never "unavailable". Scope is deliberately narrow: Xtream to Xtream, movies only, Electron only. Stalker never reaches the `content` table and M3U is a JSON blob whose search forces live content; both are additive later, since the candidate type already carries all three portal kinds. In the PWA every entry point is gated off and the chip renders nothing. Auto-failover is opt-in and off by default. Each source is tried at most once per session, so it terminates structurally, and the switch is never silent — the toast names the new playlist, offers an undo, and warns that the dub may differ only when both sides state an audio track as fact. Notable details: - Playlist names are routinely the pasted URL, credentials included. They are never rendered raw; a short host-only label is derived instead. - Quality is derived from pixel width, not height: a 2.39:1 1080p master is 1920x800, and bucketing that by height would publish "720p" as a fact. - Switching is a single `inlinePlayback.set()` so the player and engine survive and re-seek; the carried position is read before the 15s persistence throttle so it does not rewind. - Sources from one playlist collapse into a group, since the same film often appears there several times under different stream ids.

Release notes (.changes/)
Every PR with a user-visible change drops one file here describing that change
in plain language. At release time
tools/release/build-release-notes.mjs turns the accumulated files into the
GitHub release body, the CHANGELOG.md section, and a blog-post scaffold for
the website — then deletes them.
The point is to write the note while the context is still fresh, instead of reconstructing three months of work from commit titles at release time.
File
Name it <area>-<short-slug>.md, e.g. .changes/playback-up-next-rail.md.
---
type: feature
area: playback
issues: [1187]
screenshot: up-next-rail
---
Series now show an "Up Next" rail beside the player on wide windows: the rest
of the current season, watch progress, and click-to-play inline.
| Field | Required | Value |
|---|---|---|
type |
yes | breaking, feature, fix, perf, or internal |
area |
yes | lowercase slug, same as the conventional-commit scope |
issues |
no | issue numbers this closes — [1187] or 1187 |
screenshot |
no | slug from tools/release/screenshots.manifest.json |
There is no version field. The release version is chosen deliberately at release time, not derived from these files.
You never write a PR number: the generator resolves it from the commit that added the file.
Writing the body
One to three sentences, present tense, written for a user, not a reviewer. The body is capped at 400 characters — depth belongs in the blog post.
-
❌ "Refactor
WebVideoControlsAdapterto hoist volume state into the session" -
✅ "The player now remembers volume between episodes"
-
❌ "Fix off-by-one in
resolveEnrichmentSeasonNumber" -
✅ "Series whose title carries a season marker no longer show the wrong season"
type: internal is for changes with no user-visible effect that are still worth
recording (dependency bumps with behaviour risk, packaging moves). They stay out
of the release body and blog post, and land collapsed in CHANGELOG.md.
When a note is not needed
Skip the note — and apply the no-release-note label — for test-only changes,
docs, CI/workflow plumbing, and pure refactors with no behaviour change.
Commands
pnpm run release:notes:validate
pnpm run release:notes:github
pnpm run release:notes:changelog
pnpm run release:notes:blog
node tools/release/build-release-notes.mjs --consume
The release version comes from the root package.json — bump it first, then
generate. --version 0.24.0 overrides it to preview a release before the bump:
pnpm run release:notes:github --version 0.24.0
A bare -- separator is accepted and ignored, so the npm habit of
pnpm run release:notes:github -- --version 0.24.0 works too: pnpm forwards
that separator to the script rather than consuming it the way npm does.
--validate and --format github only read and print. --format changelog
and --format blog write their target file (rerunning changelog for the same
version replaces that section rather than duplicating it). Only --consume
deletes anything.
The release sequence is: bump the version → release:notes:changelog →
release:notes:blog → --consume → commit → tag → push. The tag build then
extracts the new CHANGELOG.md section into the GitHub release body
(tools/release/extract-changelog-section.mjs) and fails the release if
the section is missing — a tag cut without the changelog step cannot silently
ship PR-title-only notes.
The website publishes one post per minor version (v0-18 … v0-22), and
release screenshots live under the matching blog/v0-24/ directory. A patch
release therefore edits the existing post rather than generating a new one, so
--format blog refuses to overwrite unless you pass --force.
Screenshots
pnpm run release:screenshots captures every manifest shot in dark and light
against the built app plus the Xtream mock server — never a real account.
The run is fail-closed: it proves the real ~/.iptvnator/databases directory
(including the SQLite WAL sidecars, checked after Electron exits) was not
touched, launches the app with an allowlisted environment, records and blocks
all non-localhost traffic, scans every frame for external resources and
credential-shaped text, and asserts TMDB enrichment stays disabled. Frames are
staged outside the repository and published only once every shot and every
guard has passed.
Adding a shot for a new feature = one entry in
tools/release/screenshots.manifest.json (plus, if navigation is new, one
named action in tools/release/capture-navigation.ts).
pnpm nx run electron-backend:build-e2e # once, before capturing
pnpm run release:screenshots # all shots, both themes
pnpm run release:screenshots -- --only dashboard --theme dark
pnpm run release:screenshots -- --release v0-24
