Xtream and Stalker live cards on the dashboard carried no XMLTV key, so the rails never asked anything for them and showed only the LIVE chip. Their programme now comes from the portal, one card at a time and only once the card is on screen. - `lib-dashboard-rail` reports the cards inside its viewport through an IntersectionObserver rooted at the track; `DashboardLiveEpgPresenter` unions them with the pinned hero row and hands the set to `DashboardPortalLiveEpgPresenter`. - `DashboardPortalLiveEpgService` runs the bounded queue — two requests in flight, 200 ms apart, one card each — through `StreamResolverService.loadEpgForItems`, publishing every answer the moment it lands, so the page never waits and a slow portal delays no other card. A card scrolled past before its turn is never requested. - A programme is trusted for 60 s, an empty answer for 30 s (the resolver reports a dead portal and a guide-less channel identically), and a completion captures both the display offset and the EPG source revision, requeueing itself when either moved. - The presenter hands its wanted set back on destroy. Desktop only: the shared collection resolver is gated on the local XMLTV bridge. - A shimmer placeholder shows only before a card's first portal answer; M3U cards keep the batched XMLTV lookup.

# Workspace Dashboard
|
|
|
|
This document records the current dashboard implementation inside the workspace
|
|
shell.
|
|
|
|
Related:
|
|
|
|
- [Workspace Shell](./workspace-shell.md)
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
- The dashboard is the default `/workspace` landing page.
|
|
- It is a **rail-based** content surface (Netflix / Apple TV pattern), not a
|
|
customizable widget grid.
|
|
- Layout order is static and curated — there is no edit mode, drag-drop, or
|
|
size stepper. Each rail has a persisted show/hide toggle
|
|
(`Settings.dashboardRails`, `DashboardRailsSettings` in
|
|
`libs/shared/interfaces/src/lib/settings.interface.ts`, surfaced under
|
|
Settings → Dashboard); every template rail is gated by
|
|
`dashboardRails().<key>`. Rails additionally auto-hide when empty.
|
|
- First-run users see the shared welcome empty-state with a single primary
|
|
CTA to add their first playlist.
|
|
|
|
Core implementation:
|
|
|
|
1. `libs/workspace/dashboard/feature/src/lib/rails/workspace-dashboard-rails.component.ts`
|
|
— the page-level facade.
|
|
2. `libs/workspace/dashboard/feature/src/lib/rails/dashboard-rail.component.ts`
|
|
— the reusable horizontal rail.
|
|
3. `libs/workspace/dashboard/data-access/src/lib/dashboard-data.service.ts`
|
|
— data aggregation (recent items, favorites, playlist stats). Shared across
|
|
rails.
|
|
4. `libs/playlist/shared/ui/src/lib/recent-playlists/empty-state/empty-state.component.ts`
|
|
— reused welcome state with the primary "Add your first playlist" CTA.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Render rules:
|
|
|
|
1. Dashboard rails render independently as their data sources resolve. The
|
|
page no longer uses `dashboardReady()` as a page-wide skeleton gate.
|
|
Initial hero/recent/favorites loading states render scoped skeletons so one
|
|
slow rail does not hide already available content.
|
|
2. `hasPlaylists() === false` → render `<app-empty-state [type]="'welcome-dashboard'">`
|
|
full-bleed. All rails and the hero are skipped.
|
|
3. `hero()` = `globalRecentItems()[0]`. If present, render the hero panel.
|
|
4. Each rail is emitted via `@if (cards.length > 0)`. Empty rails are hidden
|
|
— there is no "empty widget" placeholder.
|
|
5. The continue-watching hero prefers a stored Xtream `backdrop_url`; when it
|
|
is missing the UI falls back to a blurred poster treatment instead of
|
|
showing a flat panel.
|
|
6. Live favorites are promoted into their own live rail; movie/series
|
|
favorites render in a separate `Favorite movies & series` rail
|
|
(`favoriteMoviesAndSeriesCards`, `data-test-id="dashboard-favorite-vod-rail"`,
|
|
mapped from `globalFavoriteItems()` filtered to movie/series). Full mixed
|
|
favorites management stays on `/workspace/global-favorites`.
|
|
7. The live favorites rail keeps its scoped skeleton until the initial global
|
|
favorites load has completed for both Xtream-backed and playlist-backed
|
|
favorites. This avoids first-paint partial counts such as a single Stalker
|
|
favorite appearing before M3U favorites finish resolving.
|
|
|
|
## Rail Contract
|
|
|
|
`DashboardRailComponent` is purely presentational:
|
|
|
|
1. Inputs: `label`, `items: DashboardRailCard[]`, optional `seeAllLink`,
|
|
optional `aspectRatio` (default `'2 / 3'`), optional `testId`.
|
|
2. Behavior: horizontal flex track with `scroll-snap-type: x mandatory`.
|
|
3. Chevron buttons fade in on hover (desktop only via `@media (hover: none)`).
|
|
4. Cards are keyboard-focusable router links; `scroll-snap-align: start`
|
|
means arrow-key nav lands on card boundaries.
|
|
5. Image handling: `loading="lazy"`, `decoding="async"`, fallback icon tile
|
|
when `imageUrl` is missing or `error` fires.
|
|
6. Dashboard hero, rail containers, rail cards, and "Manage all" links expose
|
|
stable `data-test-id` hooks. Treat these as the supported Electron E2E
|
|
selector surface; do not target internal CSS class names.
|
|
|
|
## Data Flow
|
|
|
|
1. `WorkspaceDashboardRailsComponent` injects `DashboardDataService`.
|
|
2. It derives the dashboard surface via `computed()`:
|
|
1. `hero` — first item of `globalRecentItems()`.
|
|
2. `continueWatchingCards` — maps `globalRecentVodItems()` to movie/series
|
|
cover cards. Portal playback positions are bulk-loaded per playlist so
|
|
hero and cards can show progress, remaining time, and series season/
|
|
episode badges. Whether an item is looked up as a movie (one `vod`
|
|
row) or a series (episode rows under the parent id) is its WATCH
|
|
kind, `resolvePortalActivityWatchKind`, not its routing `type`. The
|
|
shape that needs the distinction is a Stalker embedded-VOD row: its
|
|
stored entry carries a `series[]` episode array but no `is_series`
|
|
flag, so `extractStalkerItemType` reports `movie` (deliberately — the
|
|
item belongs in the VOD catalog) while its progress lives in episode
|
|
rows. The mappers give both it and a lazy Ministra `is_series` row
|
|
(already typed `series`) `watch_kind: 'series'`. Series lookup uses
|
|
keyed maps for both direct episode ids and parent series ids; card
|
|
renders must not scan the full playback-position map. The badge uses saved `seasonNumber` /
|
|
`episodeNumber` metadata and does not infer it from provider payloads;
|
|
legacy rows without that metadata remain badge-less until replay.
|
|
Dashboard-originated Xtream and Stalker series clicks also carry that
|
|
exact episode target through the global-recent inline-detail handoff.
|
|
Once the series metadata and playback positions load, the detail player
|
|
consumes the target once and resumes the saved episode. Opening the same
|
|
item normally from the global recent grid remains a detail-only action.
|
|
Continue Watching cards carry no provider/content-kind subtitle: their
|
|
meta row is the S·E chip plus a "N min left" label (`remainingLabel`,
|
|
from `formatRemainingLabel`), and the row is not rendered when both are
|
|
absent. The hero subtitle is the source name alone, through
|
|
`playlistDisplayLabel`.
|
|
3. `liveFavoriteCardsEnriched` and `recentLiveCardsEnriched` — two
|
|
independent rails (`dashboard-live-favorites-rail` and
|
|
`dashboard-recent-live-rail`); there is no fallback from one to the
|
|
other. M3U cards carry an `epg_lookup_key` using the app-wide XMLTV
|
|
fallback order (`tvg-id` -> `tvg-name` -> channel name); EPG enrichment
|
|
must use that key before falling back to the card title. Both rails are
|
|
enriched by `DashboardLiveEpgPresenter`, the one component-provided
|
|
facade for live EPG: it owns the XMLTV lookup described under "Scoped
|
|
lookups" in `m3u-playlist-module.md`, forwards everything portal-shaped
|
|
to `DashboardPortalLiveEpgPresenter`, and `enrich()` returns the cards
|
|
with their "now on air" row filled in.
|
|
Xtream and Stalker cards have no XMLTV key of their own; their "now on
|
|
air" line comes from the portal, **lazily and per card**:
|
|
- `buildDashboardPortalLiveEpgEntry` (dashboard data-access) turns a
|
|
live `PortalActivityItem` into the `UnifiedCollectionItem` the
|
|
collection pages hand `StreamResolverService.loadEpgForItems`, keyed
|
|
by the collection uid — favourites and recent rows of one channel
|
|
share the answer. Radio rows and rows without a usable provider id
|
|
get no entry. Cards carry that key as `liveEpgSourceKey`.
|
|
- `lib-dashboard-rail` reports the cards inside its track viewport
|
|
(plus ~one card of `rootMargin`) through `visibleCardsChanged`, from
|
|
an `IntersectionObserver` rooted at the track; without the API every
|
|
card counts as visible. Cards that leave the list are reported gone
|
|
at once.
|
|
- `DashboardPortalLiveEpgPresenter` (component-provided) unions the
|
|
visible keys of both rails with the pinned hero key and calls
|
|
`DashboardPortalLiveEpgService.sync()` with exactly those entries —
|
|
on every change, on the 30 s tick, and on a display-offset change.
|
|
It is reached through `DashboardLiveEpgPresenter`, which derives the
|
|
portal rows itself from the enabled rails and pins the hero, so the
|
|
page component only forwards what a rail can see. The queue lives in
|
|
the root service, so leaving the dashboard hands the wanted set back
|
|
(`sync([])` on destroy); otherwise the queue would keep asking for
|
|
cards on a page that is gone.
|
|
- `DashboardPortalLiveEpgService` (root) owns the queue: at most two
|
|
requests in flight, 200 ms between starts (the numbers
|
|
`EpgQueueService` proved against real panels), one card per request,
|
|
each answer published the moment it lands in `programs`, so the page
|
|
never waits and a slow portal delays no other card. Only wanted keys
|
|
are dequeued, so a card scrolled past before its turn is never
|
|
requested. A programme lives 60 s; a programme that ended is asked
|
|
again, but not within 30 s of the last answer (a portal may keep
|
|
returning the stale row). An answer with **no** programme lives only
|
|
30 s, because the resolver reports a failed portal and a guide-less
|
|
channel identically (it files per-channel failures as `null`), so
|
|
there is no failure cooldown to keep and the short TTL is what lets
|
|
an outage recover on the next tick.
|
|
- Every answer is "at the provider clock" and against one XMLTV source
|
|
set. A request captures both the display offset and
|
|
`EpgSourceSettingsService.revision()` — the same fence
|
|
`EpgService.guard()` uses — and a completion whose either fact moved
|
|
is discarded and requeued instead of published. That requeue has to
|
|
happen in the completion: while the key is in flight the retire pass
|
|
cannot queue a replacement, and without it the pre-change answer
|
|
would be trusted for a full TTL (the repo's late-result
|
|
invalidation contract).
|
|
- Desktop only in practice: the shared collection resolver is gated on
|
|
the local XMLTV bridge (`supportsProgramLookup`) and answers nothing
|
|
without it, so `sync()` returns immediately in the PWA rather than
|
|
filing an empty answer for every card. Lifting that gate for portal
|
|
lookups would change the collection pages too and is deliberately
|
|
out of scope here.
|
|
- `DashboardLiveEpgPresenter.enrich()` prefers the portal answer, falls
|
|
back to the XMLTV title match when the portal said "nothing on air",
|
|
and marks a card
|
|
`nowPlayingState: 'pending'` only before its FIRST answer — the
|
|
channel layout then shows a shimmer placeholder in the programme
|
|
slot; a refresh keeps the previous answer on screen.
|
|
4. `xtreamRecentlyAddedCards` — maps `xtreamRecentlyAddedItems()` to rail
|
|
cards. Aggregates newly added VOD and series across *all* Xtream
|
|
playlists via `DashboardDataService.reloadXtreamRecentlyAddedItems()`,
|
|
which calls `getGlobalRecentlyAdded('all', limit, 'xtream')` with the
|
|
DB-level `playlists.type = 'xtream'` filter. The rail is Electron-only
|
|
(PWA returns `[]`) and auto-hides when empty, so users without Xtream
|
|
playlists never see it. Cards carry the source name as their subtitle
|
|
(`playlistDisplayLabel`) so users can tell where each item was added;
|
|
the content kind is not repeated on every card. Driven by an
|
|
effect that re-runs whenever the Xtream playlist count changes, but the
|
|
first run waits for `globalFavoritesLoaded()` so the slower
|
|
recently-added DB query does not block the live favorites rail on
|
|
startup.
|
|
5. `recommendationCards` / `trendingCards` — the two TMDB rails. Both
|
|
need the TMDB opt-in AND the Electron DB worker that answers
|
|
`DB_MATCH_TITLES` (each is hidden in the PWA), and both load after
|
|
`globalFavoritesLoaded()` so the batched title match never competes
|
|
for the worker at startup. `recommendationCards` is seeded from
|
|
recently watched movies/series and only shows titles present in an
|
|
imported library, hiding itself below five matched cards; its rail
|
|
label names the seed ("Because you watched X") when exactly one
|
|
seed contributed. `trendingCards` shows TMDB's weekly trending and
|
|
falls back to a prefilled global search for unmatched titles.
|
|
Contracts: `docs/architecture/tmdb-metadata-enrichment.md`
|
|
("Dashboard Integration").
|
|
6. `sourceCards` — maps `recentPlaylists()` to rail cards. `recentPlaylists()`
|
|
ranks M3U, Xtream, and Stalker sources by their latest recent activity
|
|
from `globalRecentItems()`, then falls back to playlist
|
|
`updateDate` / `importDate` for sources that have never been used.
|
|
3. `DashboardDataService` is passive on construction. The dashboard feature
|
|
owns the initial reloads for recent items, favorites, and Xtream recently
|
|
added rows on page entry.
|
|
4. No dashboard-local `Layout` state, no localStorage keys, no migrations.
|
|
Per-rail visibility is the one persisted preference, and it lives in the
|
|
global settings store (`Settings.dashboardRails`), not in a
|
|
dashboard-owned layout blob.
|
|
5. Navigation state + deep-link targets come from the existing
|
|
`getRecentItemLink()` / `getGlobalFavoriteLink()` / `getPlaylistLink()`
|
|
helpers on `DashboardDataService` and reuse the workspace navigation
|
|
helpers in `@iptvnator/portal/shared/util`.
|
|
6. Xtream VOD and series detail pages opportunistically backfill
|
|
`content.backdrop_url` when metadata exposes a backdrop, but that write
|
|
must not refresh recently viewed ordering by itself.
|
|
7. The dashboard feature triggers a fresh reload of DB-backed recent/favorite
|
|
rows on dashboard entry so newly backfilled backdrop data is visible as soon
|
|
as the user returns from a detail page.
|
|
8. Playback-position reloads are keyed by the VOD/series recent set and should
|
|
call `reloadPlaybackPositions()` through `untracked()` so live-only recent
|
|
changes do not trigger unnecessary IPC round-trips.
|
|
9. Electron M3U dashboard favorites should use
|
|
`PlaylistsService.getM3uFavoriteChannels()` first. That method checks the
|
|
SQLite playlist migration flag and then calls
|
|
`dbGetAppPlaylistFavoriteChannels(playlistId)`, letting the DB worker return
|
|
only matched favorite channels instead of sending the full playlist payload
|
|
back to the renderer. If the bridge method is missing or migration is
|
|
incomplete, the dashboard falls back to the full playlist read.
|
|
10. Electron playlist summary loads should use
|
|
`dbGetAppPlaylistMetas()` through `PlaylistsService.getAllPlaylists()`.
|
|
This keeps dashboard/source/sidebar startup on a metadata-only SQLite path
|
|
and avoids parsing full M3U `payload` blobs for surfaces that only need
|
|
playlist title, type, counts, favorites, recent activity, and source
|
|
connection fields. Workflows that need channel payloads still call
|
|
`getPlaylistById()`.
|
|
|
|
## Empty State
|
|
|
|
The welcome state is rendered via the existing
|
|
`EmptyStateComponent` (`type="welcome-dashboard"`) from
|
|
`libs/playlist/shared/ui`:
|
|
|
|
1. Illustration + headline + description from the existing M3U welcome
|
|
strings (`HOME.PLAYLISTS.WELCOME_*`).
|
|
2. Primary button emits `addPlaylistClicked`. The dashboard page wires this
|
|
to `WORKSPACE_SHELL_ACTIONS.openAddPlaylistDialog()`.
|
|
3. Feature chips (M3U / Xtream / Stalker) are provided by the component.
|
|
|
|
## UX Rules
|
|
|
|
1. Rails represent content the user is likely to resume, not provider
|
|
internals. Never surface raw API objects.
|
|
2. Each rail must auto-hide when its data source is empty.
|
|
3. Image assets must degrade to a typed icon fallback — never show broken
|
|
images or empty tiles.
|
|
4. The page must never show "No widgets" style text. If there is no content
|
|
and no playlists, render the welcome state; otherwise render whatever
|
|
rails have data.
|
|
5. Navigation from a rail card must deep-link into the appropriate workspace
|
|
route without switching the active playlist in the header switcher.
|
|
6. Xtream and Stalker series hero/Continue Watching clicks with a saved episode
|
|
position must resume that exact episode while preserving the
|
|
collection-owned detail and Back behavior. Do not apply autoplay to
|
|
ordinary collection-grid clicks.
|
|
7. `Recently Used Sources` reflects recent source usage across all provider
|
|
types, not just recent imports.
|
|
8. The live rail title key must match the rendered source: favorites use
|
|
`WORKSPACE.DASHBOARD.LIVE_FAVORITES`; the recently-watched-live rail uses
|
|
`WORKSPACE.DASHBOARD.RECENTLY_WATCHED_LIVE_TV`
|
|
(`liveRailTitleKeyForSource` in `rails/dashboard-rail.utils.ts`).
|
|
|
|
## Adding Or Changing Rails
|
|
|
|
Current workflow:
|
|
|
|
1. Add a new `computed()` signal for the card list in
|
|
`WorkspaceDashboardRailsComponent`, mapping your source data to
|
|
`DashboardRailCard`.
|
|
2. Drop a `<lib-dashboard-rail>` in the template, gated by
|
|
`@if (cards.length > 0)`.
|
|
3. If the data source is new, extend `DashboardDataService` rather than
|
|
reaching into DB services directly from the component.
|
|
4. Provide a `seeAllLink` only if there is a dedicated "manage all" route
|
|
for that content type.
|
|
|
|
## Deferred Work
|
|
|
|
Intentionally out of scope:
|
|
|
|
1. Customizable layout (drag/drop, resize, freeform reordering). The rail
|
|
order stays curated and opinionated. (Per-rail show/hide toggles have
|
|
since shipped via `Settings.dashboardRails` — see Summary.)
|
|
2. Freeform widget grid with collision management.
|
|
3. External data rails such as RSS, sports, or news adapters.
|
|
4. Per-user A/B variants of rail ordering.
|
