4grayandClaude Opus 5.5 90a31d9be9 feat(sources): redesign the Sources page and the playlist switcher (#1932)
* feat(sources): add the shared source row and credential-free formatting

One app-source-row (regular for the Sources page, compact for the
playlist switcher) with an app-source-tile, built on pure helpers:

- resolvePlaylistSourceKind: one provider rule for icons, filters and
  counts (the list filter and the panel counts used to disagree).
- sourceDisplayName / sourceDisplayUrl: a name or URL never shows a
  password, token or MAC. URL imports that stored
  "get.php?username=…&password=…" as the title now show the host.
- stripUrlCredentials (shared/logging): drops what the log redactor
  would mask, plus short user/pass keys.
- formatSourceDate / sourceMetaParts / sourceStatusTag: one meta line
  order and Intl dates and durations in the UI language.
- SourceStatusService + SourceHealthHistoryService: one status per
  source (desktop health check, browser Xtream portal status) and the
  last conclusive result kept across restarts, so "not responding for
  3 days" survives a relaunch. No URL or credential is stored.

Also fixes playlistNameHasCredentials answering differently on repeated
calls (global regex lastIndex), and adds the UI-kit button, menu and
segmented-control mixins (libs/ui/styles/_app-controls.scss); menus opt
in with class="app-menu", styled by the components that use them.

* feat(sources): rebuild the Sources page on the shared source row

- Side list (UI-kit side list): title with the playlist count and an Add
  button, a Type group, and on desktop a Status group (Any / Responding /
  Not responding). The two filters combine and persist; each group counts
  within the other's choice. The chosen row uses one selected-row token
  (soft tint, outlined in light theme).
- Page: a 28px title with the visible count instead of the bordered
  header bar; Clean up and the sort menu are secondary buttons. Clean up
  shows how many sources do not respond. Sort adds Last updated, Most
  channels and (desktop) Not responding first, and keeps Name Z-A and
  Custom order.
- List: app-source-row with hover actions (Refresh, Edit, ⋯); a failing
  row keeps Retry in view. "No matches" offers Reset filters. Dragging in
  custom order no longer reuses positions of rows a filter hides.
- Delete with Undo: no confirmation; the row leaves at once and the delete
  runs when the toast closes (its close button commits at once). Deleting
  the active source switches to the next row. A large Xtream delete shows
  its row as "Removing…" with progress and Cancel, as before.
- The list's refresh flows moved into SourceListRefreshService; E2E and
  performance drivers follow the new markup and delete flow.

* feat(switcher): restyle the toolbar trigger and open it with Cmd/Ctrl+P

- The trigger is a 40px secondary button: the active source's tile with
  its status dot, its name and "type · channels" (or the source count),
  and a chevron that turns while open. The name comes from
  sourceDisplayName, so a URL-named playlist no longer shows its URL or
  credentials in the toolbar.
- Cmd+P / Ctrl+P opens the switcher wherever it is shown (Cmd+K stays
  the command palette) and is listed in the keyboard shortcuts dialog.
- The trigger's inline refresh button is gone; refresh stays in the
  playlist's ⋯ menu and the command palette.

* feat(switcher): rebuild the playlist switcher as an overlay popover

The switcher's mat-menu becomes a CDK connected overlay
(app-playlist-switcher-panel), 440px wide, with a dimmed, blurred
backdrop; only its list scrolls and row menus open above it.

- Header with the source count, Add playlist and All sources.
- Search by name or host, autofocused; the type filter is one segmented
  control (All / M3U / Xtream / Stalker with counts) instead of three
  checkboxes, remembered between openings (the old checkbox setting is
  migrated). The search is no longer kept between openings.
- "Recent" (the three most recently opened, kept across restarts) above
  "All" in the Sources page order, as compact source rows: the current
  one tinted with a check. Each row's ⋯ menu holds Refresh, Playlist
  info, Account info, Check again and Remove (with Undo); the footer's
  info, account and add actions moved there and to the header.
- Keyboard: a listbox driven by aria-activedescendant from the search
  field. Arrow keys move and wrap, Enter opens, Shift+F10 opens the
  row's menu, Escape closes and returns focus to the trigger. Hints in
  the footer.
- Deleting from a row menu moves focus to the toast's Undo, since the
  row (and its focus) left the page.

* refactor(sources): remove the old source row, filter state and dead styles

- Delete app-playlist-item and SourceHealthIndicatorComponent, replaced by
  app-source-row and its tile dot.
- Delete the ngrx type-filter slice (FilterActions, selectedFilters,
  selectActiveTypeFilters); the Sources filters live in
  SourcesViewStateService.
- Drop the empty state's unused "no results" variant and its styles.
- The switcher and Sources list components are no longer in the max-lines
  baseline.
- Docs: UI guidelines (source row, Sources page and switcher, status dot,
  selected-row tokens, UI-kit mixins), the source-health contract and the
  zoneless inventory. Release notes for the redesign and the credentials fix.

* fix(catalog): keep the refine menu whole in short windows

The refine menu held 12 rows at 48px plus two section titles (657px).
Angular Material 22 sets no max-height on a menu panel, so below ~800px
the overlay was pushed up over its own Refine button, and at 600px the
last thresholds were clipped behind an invisible scrollbar.

The minimum-rating thresholds now open in a submenu from one row that
names the active threshold. The menu is about 390px and opens below its
button at 600px. The submenu trigger sits in a role="none" wrapper:
Material offsets a submenu by the first direct mat-menu-item's
offsetTop, and with the sort rows inside a role="group" that item was
the trigger itself, which opened the submenu 335px off screen.

The Electron E2E opens both menus by keyboard in a 600px-tall window
and checks that each lies whole on screen without scrolling.

* style(workspace): drop the side panel's divider line

The context panel beside Sources, categories, Settings and collections
drew a 1px outline-variant border against the content surface, whose
background, shadow and rounded top-left corner already mark the edge;
the line clashed with that corner. The border stays 1px but transparent,
so the panel width, the persisted sidebar widths and the resize handle's
position do not move. The handle keeps its hover and drag highlight.

* fix(switcher): keep the search field and type filter whole with many sources

The switcher popover is a height-capped flex column. With a long list
(hundreds of sources) the browser shrank every part in proportion to its
size, not only the list: the type filter, which clips its overflow,
collapsed to 2px and showed no labels, and the search field dropped from
36px to its 21px text line. The header, search, type filter, empty state
and footer are now flex: none, so only the list shrinks and scrolls.

The search field now matches the header and side-panel search fields:
the shared --app-search-* tokens, a 10px radius, an 18px icon, the same
text size and focus halo.

The Electron E2E opens the switcher in a 320px-tall window and checks the
search height, the type toggles and the scrolling list; it fails without
the fix (search 21px).

* fix(sources): checks behind filters, keyboard Undo in the switcher, check causes

Local review round 1 (Codex + Greptile) on the redesign:

- A saved Responding / Not responding filter hid every source without a
  result, and the hidden rows were what started the checks, so the list
  stayed empty. keepSourcesChecked (portal shared data-access) now keeps
  every library source checked while the Sources page lives, on desktop
  where a check is one shared job that rows join.
- Removing from the switcher left its focus trap open around the search,
  outside of which the Undo toast sits: Tab could not reach Undo. The
  popover now closes first; Undo takes the focus and returns it to the
  trigger (SourceRemovalOptions.returnFocusTo). Every switcher action
  closes through one path, so a closing row menu no longer pulls the focus
  back into the popover.
- A running desktop Xtream delete brought its source back into the
  switcher as an ordinary option that could be opened or removed again; the
  switcher now leaves it out until the delete ends (the Sources page shows
  its progress and Cancel).
- Undo re-activated the removed source over a source the user had chosen
  since, when nothing had replaced it (it was the only row a filter
  showed). Undo now restores only while no other source is active.
- The switcher highlight stays on its option, or in range, when the list
  changes under the same search, so Enter still opens something.
- The status dot named every failure "Could not connect". SourceStatus
  now carries the check's cause (access denied, account disabled, timeout…,
  kept with the health history and validated on read), and M3U dots again
  say the check covers the playlist URL, not its channels.

Tests: new specs for keepSourcesChecked, the saved-filter check, the Undo
guard and focus return, the switcher close/highlight/deleting cases and
the dot's cause; the filter and Undo specs fail without their fixes. The
switcher keyboard E2E now deletes and undoes from the keyboard.

* fix(sources): own Undo timer, per-connection health history, race-free perf waits

Local review round 2 (Codex + Greptile):

- The delete committed whenever the shared snack bar was dismissed, so
  another message (a refresh finishing elsewhere) cut the four-second Undo
  window short and deleted the source early. The window is now the
  service's own timer; only the toast's close button (commitNow) or a
  second delete commits sooner.
- The health history was keyed by playlist ID only, so an edited address
  or account inherited the old connection's result, failing run included.
  Entries now keep a 32-bit FNV-1a fingerprint of the source health key
  (no URL or credential); a result for another connection starts over and
  a stale entry no longer shows.
- The M3U refresh-cancellation probe still queried the removed row's
  .cancel-btn, .busy-state__message and .action-spinner, so its cancel
  never fired; it now uses the source row's selectors (smoke run passes,
  cancelEffect=true).
- The Xtream delete benchmark waited to catch the "Removing…" row coming
  back before it left, which a fast delete could finish before the wait
  began. The driver now arms a delete-playlist operation window before the
  commit click and ends on its completed event and the absent row.

* fix(sources): sort by the shown name; start the benchmark's Undo window in its trigger

Local review round 3 (Greptile; Codex was clean):

- Name order compared the stored title, while the rows show a URL-named
  or credential-bearing source by its host: a source stored as
  get.php?username=… sorted by its hidden account details. sortPlaylists
  takes the list's name function, and Sources and the switcher pass
  sourceSortName, the name they display.
- The Xtream delete benchmark clicked Remove while preparing, which starts
  the four-second Undo window; capture setup before the trigger could
  outlast it, so the delete committed on its own before the measurement
  and the close button was gone. Preparation now stops at the open menu,
  and the trigger clicks Remove and then the toast's close button, with
  the trigger time taken right before the commit click as before.

* fix(sources): never hand over to a leaving source; browser checks per connection

Local review round 4 (Codex + Greptile):

- Removing the active source handed over to its neighbour even when that
  neighbour's own delete was still running ("Removing…"), activating a
  source about to disappear. replacementAfterRemoval (playlist shared
  util) picks the nearest row that is not leaving, on the Sources page and
  in the switcher; SourceRemovalService also refuses a leaving replacement.
- In the browser build a "Check again" for an account the user then
  edited could finish last and overwrite the new account's status under
  the same playlist ID. Portal statuses are now keyed by playlist and
  connection fingerprint, so the old check lands under the old key.
- The switcher scrolled the highlighted option into view through a
  selector built from the playlist ID, which a restored ID with "." or
  ":" broke (or made throw). It now finds the row by its exact DOM ID.

* fix(sources): keep ⌘P out of open dialogs; redact refresh errors

Local review round 5 (Greptile; Codex was clean):

- Ctrl/Cmd+P opened the playlist switcher over an open dialog (an
  editor, a confirmation), taking the focus out of it and handing it back
  to the toolbar behind the dialog on close. The shortcut now leaves the
  key alone while MatDialog has open dialogs.
- SourceListRefreshService logged a failed refresh's raw error, which can
  carry the playlist URL and its credentials. It now logs through the
  redacting portal logger (createLogger).

* fix(sources): show a new search's first match; keep inconclusive check causes

Local review round 6 (Codex; Greptile was clean at 5/5):

- Typing a search or picking a type in the switcher highlighted the first
  match but kept the list scrolled where the previous result left it, so
  the highlighted row could sit above the view. The list returns to the
  top whenever the search or type changes.
- A source with no kept history whose check was inconclusive (connection
  checks paused by the connectivity guard, a cancelled check) lost the
  live cause and time, and its dot said only "Not verified". The status
  now keeps them; a running check still reads as checking.

* fix(switcher): fall back to All when the remembered type has no sources left

Local review round 7 (Greptile 5/5 with one P2; Codex was clean): when the
last source of the remembered switcher type was removed while two other
types remained, the list kept filtering by the missing type. Its segment
was gone, no segment was selected, and the list said "Nothing found". The
list now filters by All until a source of that type returns; the remembered
choice is kept.

* fix(sources): clean credentials nested in kept URL parts

Codex bot (PR review, P1): stripUrlCredentials copied every non-sensitive
parameter value unchanged, so a URL nested in one (a proxy's
?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjoe%3Ahunter2%40origin.test%2F…) kept its userinfo and
password and reached the Sources row through sourceDisplayUrl.

Kept query and fragment values and path segments are now cleaned
recursively, up to four levels: a nested URL loses its credentials the
same way, a nested parameter list loses its sensitive keys, and a part
that still names a secret (joe:hunter2@host, token=…) is dropped. Deeper
nesting is dropped rather than shown.

* fix(sources): keep fragment and nested URL secrets out of source names

Greptile bot (PR review, P1 security): an unnamed import of
https://host.test/list.m3u#api_key=secret123 stored list.m3u#api_key=…
as its title. isUrlDerivedName only knew names ending in a query, and
sourceSecrets only read the top-level query, so the row and the toolbar
showed the secret while the displayed URL hid it.

A name that ends the URL with a query or a fragment is now URL-derived,
and shows the host. The secrets a typed name is checked against now
include sensitive fragment parameters and, as stripUrlCredentials cleans
them, the credentials of URLs and parameter lists nested in parameters
(nested account names included).

* fix(sources): keep deletes busy until settled and on screen; refresh E2E via the switcher

PR #1932 round 1 (CI + local Codex/Greptile on the bot fixes):

- CI: category-management.e2e refreshed the active playlist through the
  old switcher trigger's inline refresh button, which the redesign
  replaced with the switcher row menu (⋯ → Refresh playlist). The helper
  now goes through that menu; it failed on all three OS shards.
- A desktop Xtream delete's completed event cleared its progress while
  PlaylistsService still cleaned up (parental lock, stored state), so the
  already-deleted source was actionable again on Sources and back in the
  switcher until the store dropped it. A terminal event now only ends
  Cancel; the row stays busy until the delete settles and the removal
  service clears it.
- A running delete (from the switcher, say) disappeared from Sources when
  the page's saved filters excluded it, hiding its only progress and
  Cancel. Running deletes stay listed whatever the filters.

* fix(sources): keep counting a failure's duration while the list stays open

Local Greptile (5/5, one P2) on the PR round: the row's status tag
formatted "Not responding · 3 days" against the time the row mounted (or
the language last changed), so a new failure never gained its duration
and an existing one froze while Sources stayed open. A shared root
SourceClock now ticks once a minute and only the status tag reads it, so
dates and the meta line do not recompute every minute.

* fix(sources): keep the page header in view; mark the active source's row

Local Greptile (two P2s) on the PR round, both regressions against master:

- The redesigned Sources page scrolled as one, so the title, Clean up and
  Sort left the view in a long library (master kept a sticky header, and
  the UI guidelines say headers stay and lists scroll). The header now
  stays and only the list below it scrolls, which also keeps a row reached
  by keyboard from scrolling under the header.
- Master marked the active playlist on the Sources page; the new row only
  tinted the current row in the compact (switcher) size. The active
  source's row is now tinted with the same --app-list-selected-* token on
  the page too; the switcher keeps its check.

The design handoff called the header non-sticky and the current tint
switcher-only; both followed master and the guidelines instead.

* fix(sources): name the Sources sort group; refit the switcher on resize

Local review on the PR round:

- Greptile: the Sources sort menu's radio group had no accessible name,
  unlike every other menu group (UI guidelines). It is named by its
  section, "Sort by".
- Codex: the switcher popover capped its height once, when it opened, so
  shrinking the window while it was open left the footer and the lower
  rows out of reach. A window resize refits the open popover.

* wip: linear URL-cleaning regexes

* fix(sources): linear URL-cleaning patterns; keep the stripper off the startup path

PR #1932 CI:

- CodeQL (polynomial regular expression on uncontrolled data): the
  embedded-URL and keyed-pair patterns in stripUrlCredentials could retry
  from every position of a long run of letters. Matches now start only
  where a name can start (lookbehinds) and every name part is bounded, as
  is the bare-userinfo pattern; a spec times 50,000-character runs. The
  preceding "wip: linear URL-cleaning regexes" commit holds that change.
- Initial bytes ratchet (+135 B over after master's #1928 lowered the
  baseline): stripUrlCredentials sat behind the shared logging barrel,
  which startup code imports, so esbuild placed it in an initial chunk
  although only the lazy Sources page and switcher use it. It now lives
  beside its only consumer in playlist/shared/util source-display, and the
  logging barrel exports the two redaction helpers it needs. Measured
  locally on the merge with master: 1,537,497 bytes, within 1,538,700.

* fix(sources): case-insensitive Xtream path markers; no removal during a refresh

- Strip and redact the account segments after `/LIVE/`, `/Movie/` or an
  encoded marker such as `/%6Cive/`, as after `/live/`. The display-name
  check also treats an Xtream path password as a URL secret.
- A source cannot be removed while a switcher refresh clears and refills
  it: the removal service ignores the request, the switcher disables
  Remove, and the Sources page shows the refresh as busy.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(sources): search URLs nested in path segments for name secrets

A proxy URL can carry a whole source URL, or a token pair, in one path
segment. The display stripper already cleans such segments; the name
check now collects their secrets too, so a name holding them collapses
to the host.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(sources): decode nested URLs before classifying; narrow Xtream paths

- A URL nested in a parameter or path segment is percent-decoded one
  round at a time until it reads as a URL or parameter list, so one
  encoded twice is cleaned too; a value still encoded after the last
  round is dropped. The name check unwraps nested values the same way.
- The two segments after `/live/` and its siblings count as an account
  only when a stream follows them, so a playlist path such as
  `/live/news/list.m3u` keeps its file name in the URL and the title.
- Adding a playlist from the phone drawer closes the drawer first, so
  two focus-trapped modals never stack.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(sources): clean URL-shaped fragments; one registry for busy sources

- A fragment is cleaned whatever its shape: `#https://joe:pw@…` loses its
  userinfo, an unclassifiable secret is dropped, and the name check reads
  a URL in the fragment as well as a parameter list.
- Every refresh holds its source in the root SourceActivityService, which
  deletes and the startup auto-refresh already use: Sources-row refreshes,
  the switcher's M3U refresh and the shared Xtream flow. The switcher no
  longer offers Refresh or Remove for a source the page is refreshing, the
  removal service ignores a held source, a second refresh from either
  entry point is skipped, and the page disables Remove while it is held.
- The long-input timing spec allows 3 s: the inputs take about 0.25 s,
  a backtracking pattern takes minutes, and a loaded runner took 1.6 s.

* fix(sources): keep a browser refresh busy until the backend answers

The browser build's PLAYLIST_UPDATE returned at once while its request
ran on, so the row stayed refreshable and removable and the shared
registry saw the source as idle. The event now settles when the refresh
does (the PWA service resolves after its success or error report; the
Electron fallback awaits its handler), and both the Sources row and the
switcher keep the source busy and held until then.

* fix(sources): name check hides values under short account keys

The name check used the log redactor's key list, which leaves out the
short keys `pass`, `pas`, `user` and `usr` that the URL stripper drops.
Both now share `isDisplaySensitiveKey`, so a name holding `?pass=…`
collapses to the host; `user`/`usr` are account names like `username`
and stay shown at the top level, as by design.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(sources): read keys, markers and secrets through every encoding layer

Each check decoded its input once, so one more encoding layer slipped a
secret past it: `?%2570assword=…` kept its value, and `/%256Cive/…`
kept its account segments, both on screen and in logs.

`decodeFully` (shared logging) undoes up to four percent-encoding layers
and is now the one form every name check reads: the redactor's key
normaliser and Xtream marker check, the display key predicate and path
check, and the name check's secret values. Logs and the Sources lists
gain the fix together.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(sources): read Xtream paths decoded; keep short decoded forms out

- An Xtream account could hide behind encoded separators
  (`live%2Fjoe%2Fhunter2%2F1.ts` is one raw segment). `findXtreamAccount`
  reads the path as decoded parts, maps them back to raw segments, and is
  the one scanner for the log redactor, the on-screen URL and the name
  check. Account segments go whole, joined ones included.
- The name check required a minimum length only of the raw secret, so a
  decoded form as short as one letter (`%2542` is `B`) hid ordinary
  names. Each form must now be long enough on its own.
- The decoding helpers move to `url-credential-parts.ts`, which keeps the
  redactor under the line limit.

* fix(sources): read an Xtream path both whole-segment and split

Reading the path only as decoded parts misplaced the account when the
user name itself held an encoded slash (`/live/joe%2Fx/hunter2/1.ts`):
the password segment stayed on screen and in logs. `findXtreamAccount`
now scans both readings, each raw segment decoded whole and the decoded
path split on every separator, and drops what either finds.

* fix(sources): drop JSON configs from shown URLs; read their secrets

A nested value such as `?config={"password":"…"}` was neither a URL nor
a parameter list, and the quoted key slipped past the free-text check.

- A nested value that parses as a JSON object or array is dropped from
  the shown URL (JSON can spell a key so no pattern reads it, such as
  `w`); brackets that are not JSON, like `[1080p]`, stay.
- The free-text check accepts a quoted key (`"token": …`).
- The name check parses JSON values and collects what sits under
  sensitive keys, and follows URLs in its other strings.

* fix(sources): hold Xtream sources through re-import; match secrets in any case

- An Xtream refresh released its hold when navigation ended, while the
  re-import ran on from the route session, so Remove came back during
  the import's writes. The route session now takes the hold synchronously
  on NavigationEnd and keeps it until its sync, and the import it awaits,
  settle; the store also holds the source for every content
  initialization, retries included.
- Secret matching was case-sensitive against encodeURIComponent's
  upper-case escapes, so `%3a` or a lower-case MAC slipped through. Text
  and secrets are now compared lower-cased, the text also fully decoded.
- The Xtream `· username` label is left out when it is, or holds, the
  password.

* fix(sources): read a bracketed key as parameters unless it is JSON

The name check returned early for any value starting with `{` or `[`,
so `[password]=…` (not JSON) skipped the parameter check and its
password stayed in the name. It now returns early only when the value
parses as a JSON object or array.

* fix(sources): no opening a source from the switcher mid-refresh

While an Xtream refresh was still deleting the catalog, ⌘P could reopen
the switcher and selecting that source navigated at once, starting its
import before the user data to restore was parked. The refresh flow now
exposes `isRunning` (its set of runs is a signal), and the switcher marks
a refreshing source aria-disabled and ignores its selection by pointer
and Enter alike. Imports alone do not block opening a source.

* fix(sources): hand over only to an idle source; hide names that are a short secret

- Removing the active source could hand over to a neighbour a refresh
  was still clearing, opening it and starting its import early.
  `SourceRemovalService.canTakeOver` (not leaving, not deleting, not held
  in SourceActivityService) now picks the replacement in both lists and
  gates it in the service.
- Secrets under three characters were dropped from the check entirely,
  so a name that was just a two-letter password showed it. Short secrets
  now count as the whole text (trimmed, any case); longer ones still
  match inside a text.

* fix(sources): offer Refresh only when it can run; drag handle never opens

- PlaylistRefreshActionService runs one refresh at a time, but
  canRefresh checked only the source, so the switcher, the command
  palette and the dashboard offered a Refresh that refresh() then
  ignored. canRefresh now applies the same global guard.
- In Custom order a click on a row's drag handle bubbled to the row and
  opened the source; the handle now stops it.

* fix(sources): no idle Refresh on held rows; Recent counts the filtered list

- The Sources page offered Refresh on a source the startup auto-refresh,
  an import or a delete held, and refresh() then refused it. The row now
  offers Refresh only while it can run, keeping it (with its spinner)
  while that source refreshes.
- The switcher showed Recent whenever the library had six sources, so a
  type filter down to one or two listed them twice and the keyboard
  visited each twice. Recent now depends on the filtered count.

* fix(sources): compare passwords in their own case; only a MAC caselessly

Matching every secret lower-cased hid any name holding the password word
in another case: the Electron E2E source "Stress Xtream Portal" (password
`stress`) showed its host, and the deletion test could not find its row.
A password is case-sensitive, so it is compared as written; the text is
still read fully decoded, so `%3a` escapes count as `:`. A MAC is the
same address in either letter case and is compared lower-cased.

* fix(sources): match a MAC from the URL in any letter case

Only the source's own `macAddress` was compared caselessly, so an M3U
URL carrying `?mac=…` (nested ones too) left the MAC visible in a name
written in another case. Any MAC-shaped secret, and every form of the
source's own MAC, is now compared lower-cased; passwords keep their case.

* perf(sources): keep source-health helpers off the startup path

Master's #1931 lowered the initial-bytes baseline, and this branch then
sat 535 bytes over its slack. Most of its growth was runtime helpers in
`@iptvnator/shared/interfaces` (reachability, health history, reason and
fingerprint helpers) that only the lazily loaded source services call:
the bundler put them in a chunk the app preloads. They now live in
`@iptvnator/portal/shared/data-access` beside those services (types stay
in interfaces); initialBytes 1,350,438 → 1,349,048, 855 under the limit.

IPTVnator - IPTV Player Application

IPTVnator icon

Release CI status Releases Codecov Telegram Bluesky

🌐 Website | Telegram channel for discussions | Buy me a coffee | GitHub Sponsors

IPTVnator is a video player application that provides support for IPTV playlist playback (m3u, m3u8). The application allows users to import playlists using remote URLs or by uploading files from the local file system. Additionally, it supports EPG information in XMLTV format which can be provided via URL.

The application is a cross-platform, open-source project built with Electron and Angular.

⚠️ Note: IPTVnator does not provide any playlists or other digital content. The channels and pictures in the screenshots are for demonstration purposes only.

Important

Official sources only. IPTVnator is a free, open-source player — it never sells IPTV subscriptions, channels, or playlists. Websites offering "IPTVnator subscriptions/channels/premium/activated" builds are not affiliated with this project. Get the app only from the official website or GitHub Releases. See Beware of unofficial IPTVnator websites and IPTV services for details.

Note: First version of the application which was developed as a PWA is available in an extra git branch.

Self-hosted PWA

The Docker setup builds the Angular PWA and the monorepo web backend into one image. The backend handles remote M3U parsing plus Xtream and Stalker proxy requests under /api, so a separate 4gray/iptvnator-backend container is not required for the default self-hosted flow.

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build -d

The application is available at http://localhost:4333. See docker/docker-compose.yml for the ready-to-run compose file and docker/README.md for environment variables, reverse proxy notes, PWA limitations, and build details.

The self-hosted image runs the browser PWA rather than the Electron desktop app: EPG/XMLTV panels, Embedded MPV, managed MPV/VLC launching, the download manager, and Electron remote-control features are not available there. If browser playback fails, copy the stream URL and open it manually in an external player such as MPV, VLC, or IINA.

Download

Download the latest version of the application for macOS, Windows, and Linux from the release page.

Alternatively, you can install the application using one of the following package managers:

Nightly builds

Every merge into master is published as a prerelease in 4gray/iptvnator-nightly. The desktop app can follow them: Settings → About → Update channel → Nightly offers each new build through the built-in updater (macOS, Windows, and the Linux AppImage). Nightly builds are untested snapshots — they may break, and their database changes are permanent, so switching back to Stable keeps the installed nightly until the next stable release is newer. Back up your playlists first, and mention the version and commit shown in About when reporting a bug from a nightly.

Homebrew

$ brew install iptvnator

Snap

$ sudo snap install iptvnator

Arch

Also available as an Arch PKG, iptvnator-bin, in the AUR (using your favourite AUR-helper, .e.g. yay)

$ yay -S iptvnator-bin

Gentoo

You can install IPTVnator from the gentoo-zh overlay

sudo eselect repository enable gentoo-zh
sudo emerge --sync gentoo-zh
sudo emerge iptvnator-bin

Linux Embedded MPV Support

Embedded MPV on Linux is experimental and currently supports x64 desktop sessions where IPTVnator runs under X11 or Xwayland. Native Wayland embedding is not supported yet. Linux package launchers request X11 with --ozone-platform=x11, so Wayland desktops still need Xwayland available.

The Linux backend starts a system mpv executable with --wid, so mpv must be installed and available on PATH. CI validates the Linux native addon and standard packages on Ubuntu 22.04, with Flatpak packaging built on Ubuntu 24.04. Expected user targets are Ubuntu/Debian .deb, Arch/Manjaro pacman, RPM distributions, and AppImage on x64 systems with X11/Xwayland plus mpv installed. Flatpak and Snap builds remain available, but embedded MPV is not announced as supported there yet because those sandboxed formats do not expose the host mpv executable to the embedded backend by default.

Troubleshooting

macOS: "App is damaged and can't be opened"

Older unsigned macOS builds may require removing the quarantine flag from the downloaded application:

xattr -c /Applications/IPTVnator.app

Alternatively, if the app is located in a different directory:

xattr -c ~/Downloads/IPTVnator.app

Linux: chrome-sandbox Issues

If you encounter the following error when launching IPTVnator:

The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly.
Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now.
You need to make sure that chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

Solution 1: Fix chrome-sandbox permissions (Recommended for .deb/.rpm installations)

Navigate to the IPTVnator installation directory and run:

sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox

Solution 2: Launch with --no-sandbox flag

Edit the desktop launcher file to add the --no-sandbox flag:

  1. Find your desktop file location:

    • Ubuntu/Debian: ~/.local/share/applications/iptvnator.desktop
    • System-wide: /usr/share/applications/iptvnator.desktop
  2. Edit the file and modify the Exec line:

    Exec=iptvnator --no-sandbox %U
    
  3. Save the file and relaunch the application from your application menu.

Alternatively, you can launch IPTVnator from the terminal with the flag:

iptvnator --no-sandbox

GNU/Linux: Wayland startup failure

If IPTVnator exits on GNU/Linux with errors about failing to connect to Wayland or initialize the Ozone platform, force X11/XWayland instead:

iptvnator --ozone-platform=x11

This workaround is mainly for older or problematic Linux graphics stacks. The Snap package already includes this X11 override by default. For AppImage, direct binaries, and other Linux package formats, pass the flag manually when needed.

How to Build and Develop

Requirements:

  • Node.js 22.22.3 or newer within 22.x, or 24.15.0 or newer within 24.x
  • pnpm 10.33.0 (via Corepack)

The repository's .nvmrc pins the Node.js version used by CI. With nvm, run nvm install and nvm use from the repository root to use the same version for local development.

  1. Clone this repository and install project dependencies:

    $ nvm install
    $ nvm use
    $ corepack enable
    $ pnpm install
    
  2. Start the application:

    $ pnpm run serve:backend
    

This will open the Electron app in a separate window, while the Angular dev server will run at http://localhost:4200.

The equivalent Nx command is:

$ nx serve electron-backend

To start Electron with an empty, isolated data directory instead of your normal ~/.iptvnator folder, set IPTVNATOR_E2E_DATA_DIR for that run:

$ rm -rf .tmp/iptvnator-empty && mkdir -p .tmp/iptvnator-empty
$ IPTVNATOR_E2E_DATA_DIR="$PWD/.tmp/iptvnator-empty" pnpm run serve:backend

This redirects the SQLite database, Electron user data, and local config under the given directory. Delete that directory whenever you want a fresh empty state.

If you need startup diagnostics for a white screen or a frozen route, you can also turn on opt-in Electron tracing. These logs are written to the Electron terminal output so they still help when the renderer DevTools never open:

$ IPTVNATOR_TRACE_STARTUP=1 pnpm run serve:backend

Nx equivalent:

$ IPTVNATOR_TRACE_STARTUP=1 nx serve electron-backend

Useful narrower flags:

  • IPTVNATOR_TRACE_IPC=1 logs renderer window.electron.* calls reaching the Electron bridge
  • IPTVNATOR_TRACE_DB=1 logs DB worker requests and request-scoped DB events
  • IPTVNATOR_TRACE_SQL=1 logs SQLite statements in both the main connection and DB worker connection
  • IPTVNATOR_TRACE_WINDOW=1 logs BrowserWindow load, navigation, and unresponsive events
  • IPTVNATOR_TRACE_RENDERER_CONSOLE=1 mirrors renderer console messages into the Electron terminal output

Security-sensitive network compatibility flags are opt-in:

  • IPTVNATOR_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK_URLS=1 permits strict EPG fetches from playlist metadata (x-tvg-url, url-tvg, or tvg-url) to resolve to localhost, LAN, or other private addresses. Directly configured Xtream/Stalker portals and private playlist servers remain supported without this flag. Prefer the in-app source-scoped “Allow source” action for a trusted EPG URL.
  • IPTVNATOR_ALLOW_INSECURE_TLS=1 disables certificate validation for remote playlist imports and refreshes for the whole Electron process. Prefer the in-app host-scoped trust action for a trusted provider with a self-signed or otherwise invalid certificate.

If the local Nx daemon gets into a bad state before rerunning Electron, reset it:

$ pnpm nx reset

To run only the Angular app without Electron, use:

$ pnpm run serve:frontend

To see how many bytes the built web app puts on the initial load path (the number the CI ratchet guards), build it and run the measurement:

$ pnpm nx build web
$ pnpm run perf:initial-bytes

The contract behind that number is in docs/architecture/performance-journeys.md.

To benchmark the "launch to usable", "open a source" and "start playback" journeys (fresh Electron processes on a seeded profile against the local Xtream mock, exact renderer counters plus wall-clock), run:

$ pnpm run perf:journeys

The journeys, their counters and the summary written under dist/performance/journeys/ are described in docs/architecture/performance-journeys.md. pnpm run perf:compositing measures the renderer's tile memory and composited layers on the dashboard, the detail pages, Live TV and settings (the "compositing budget" section of the same document).
