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 Feature
This library owns the workspace dashboard rails UI. The dashboard is a read-only surface over existing playlist, recent, favorites, EPG, and Xtream catalog data; it should not introduce Electron IPC, SQLite schema, or route contracts on its own.
Dashboard Surfaces
The dashboard renders a surface only when the matching setting is enabled. Data rails also require the underlying data slice to have at least one item.
heroshows the large top banner for the most recent global item. When that item is a live TV channel, the hero looks up the current XMLTV programme and displays the programme title, time range, and EPG progress bar when data is available.continueWatchingshows recent movies and series fromDashboardDataService.globalRecentVodItems()using cover cards with playback progress when a saved resume position is available.liveFavoritesshows favorited live TV channels fromDashboardDataService.globalFavoriteLiveItems()using the channel layout with EPG title, time range, and progress when XMLTV data is available.recentlyWatchedLiveshows recently watched live TV channels fromDashboardDataService.globalRecentLiveItems()using the same channel layout.favoriteMoviesAndSeriesshows favorited movies and series fromDashboardDataService.globalFavoriteItems(), excluding live favorites, using cover cards.recentSourcesshows recently used playlist/source entries.xtreamRecentlyAddedshows recently added Xtream catalog items.tmdbRecommendationsshows "Because you watched X" — TMDB recommendations seeded from recently watched movies/series, kept to titles that exist in an imported Xtream library. Needs the TMDB opt-in and the Electron DB worker (hidden in the PWA), and hides itself below five matched cards. Data:DashboardRecommendationsServiceinworkspace/dashboard/data-access.tmdbTrendingshows TMDB's weekly trending titles, matched against the imported Xtream libraries. Same TMDB/Electron gating; unmatched cards open the global search prefilled. Data:DashboardTrendingService.
Settings
Per-surface visibility lives on Settings.dashboardRails as a
DashboardRailsSettings object. Every surface defaults to enabled. Stored
settings are deep-merged with DEFAULT_DASHBOARD_RAILS_SETTINGS by
SettingsStore, so existing users and older partial settings keep newly added
surfaces visible unless they explicitly turn them off.
The global showDashboard flag remains a top-level Settings property because
workspace startup and route guards already depend on that contract. The Settings
UI groups showDashboard and the per-surface checkboxes in the Dashboard
section. When showDashboard is off, the per-surface checkboxes are disabled
because the dashboard route itself is hidden.
Navigation
Rail cards use the navigation state provided by DashboardDataService for the
underlying item. Rail "See all" links may also pass router state:
- live rails open the relevant collection on Live TV.
- cover rails for movies/series open Global Recent or Global Favorites on Movies when movie items are present, otherwise on Series.
This keeps the global collection pages from defaulting to Live TV when a dashboard rail is clearly about movies or series.
