* feat(playback): add quality selection to shared player controls Adds a per-session video quality menu (Auto + "1080p"-style levels) to the shared player-controls layer, mirroring the audio-track pattern: - Contract: qualityLevels capability, qualityLevels/qualityAutoEnabled state, setQualityLevel command with AUTO_QUALITY_LEVEL_ID (-1) restoring ABR. - hls.js (HTML5/ArtPlayer via the neutral source bridge): levels with list-index ids, smooth switching through nextLevel, selection read from manualLevel; refresh events extended with MANIFEST_PARSED, LEVELS_UPDATED, LEVEL_SWITCHED. - Shaka (DASH): variant tracks filtered to the active audio language, ABR disabled before selectVariantTrack; manual state keyed to the exact player instance so a session restart never shows a stale selection. - Video.js: new VjsQualityLevels over videojs-contrib-quality-levels (manual = exactly one enabled level, auto = all enabled, derived statelessly). - Embedded MPV and external players report the capability false. The capability derives from the manifest (advertised only for >1 video rendition), nothing persists to Settings, and the menu rides the default-off webPlayerSharedControls rollout gate. Labels come from one shared helper so all engines render the same vocabulary. QUALITY/QUALITY_AUTO keys added to all 19 i18n files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(playback): pin DASH quality candidates to the active audio stream Review findings on #1470: - Shaka quality candidates now match the active variant's exact audioId (language fallback only when Shaka reports none), so a DASH manifest with same-language audio tracks (main vs. commentary, stereo vs. 5.1) can no longer switch the audio track or show duplicate levels when a quality is picked. Regression test added. - Mirror the quality-selection contract into AGENTS.md's Shared Player Controls section, which must stay in sync with CLAUDE.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(playback): track Video.js manual quality intent explicitly Codex re-review finding on #1470: VHS flips a rendition's `enabled` flag off itself when it temporarily excludes failing renditions, so inferring the manual/auto mode from the enabled count could report a manual selection the user never made once exclusions leave a single survivor. VjsQualityLevels now records the picked level object as explicit manual intent: error exclusions read as auto, a picked level that leaves the list reverts to auto, and the bridge resets the intent on every new source. Regression tests added. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(playback): re-enable surviving renditions when the picked level is removed Codex follow-up on #1470: dropping manual intent when the picked QualityLevel leaves the list reverted the UI to auto but left the surviving renditions disabled by the earlier manual pick, pinning VHS with no selectable rendition. Reverting to auto now re-enables every remaining level, both on the removal event and lazily from the state read. Regression tests added.

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 records invisible maintenance. Internal notes stay collapsed in
CHANGELOG.md, are omitted from the blog scaffold, and are removed from the
authored public GitHub body by
extract-changelog-section.mjs --public. GitHub's generated commit list remains
separate. An internal-only release can therefore have an empty authored body.
When a note is not needed
The gate auto-exempts website, E2E and mock-server apps, *.spec.{js,ts},
*.e2e.{js,ts}, snapshots, any /testing/ path, and Markdown. For other
test-only, documentation, CI/workflow, or pure-refactor changes under
apps//libs/, apply no-release-note when no user-visible note is warranted.
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
