The dashboard hero showed no backdrop for items whose detail page had one. Two independent causes, both about identity rather than the matching gate. Stalker items never reach the `content` table, so the xtream back-fill of `content.backdrop_url` has no equivalent for them — but the enriched backdrop is already sitting in the stored playlist entry (`info.tmdb_backdrop`). The activity mappers now surface it as `backdrop_url`, where the hero already looks first. The hero's TMDB lookup ran on the display title alone, while the detail view searched with the original title and the release year. Without a year `pickConfidentMatch` requires a single exact title match, which common titles never satisfy, and the miss lands in the negative cache under a lookup key the detail view's hit can never be found at. The query is now built from the same fields (`extractStalkerItemTmdbHints`), and the resolved `tmdb_id` short-circuits the search entirely. A 'movie' verdict retries as 'tv' without the id — 'movie' is the answer every row falls back to, and an id is valid only for its own media type. A 'tv' verdict, reached only on positive series evidence, gets no retry back to 'movie'. Also removes `buildStalkerRecentItems`, a dead duplicate of the mapper the dashboard actually uses.
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.
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.
