 ### Fixed
 
+- EPG output was filtering programs using `start_time__gte=now` when the `days` parameter was specified, which caused currently-airing programs (started before the request time but not yet ended) to be omitted from the XML output. This produced a gap in clients' guides immediately after an EPG refresh, lasting until the next program started. Fixed by changing the filter to `end_time__gte=now` so any program that has not yet finished is included.
 - TS proxy connection slot leaks and TOCTOU races in stream initialization (Fixes #947) - Thanks [@CodeBormen](https://github.com/CodeBormen)
   - **TOCTOU race in slot reservation**: `get_stream()` previously used a `GET`→check→`INCR` sequence, allowing concurrent requests to both read the same count below the limit and both reserve a slot, silently exceeding `max_streams`. Replaced with an atomic `INCR`-first pattern: increment unconditionally, check the result, roll back with `DECR` if over capacity.
   - **Leak on URL generation failure**: `generate_stream_url()` called `get_stream()` (which `INCR`s the counter) but had no cleanup path if subsequent DB lookups or URL construction failed. The post-`get_stream()` block is now wrapped in a `try/except` that calls `release_stream()` on any error.
