- Replace per-entry ProgramData DB query with single batch fetch
- Pass pre-loaded EPGData objects to find_current_program_for_tvg_id
to avoid redundant select_related re-fetch
- Delete Redis programme index before XMLTV download so stale byte
offsets are never used during the refresh window
When selecting an EPG channel in the channel form, if that EPG entry's
programs had never been parsed, the preview showed "No current program".
This was because parse_programs_for_tvg_id requires a linked channel.
- Add force parameter to parse_programs_for_tvg_id to bypass channel check
- Auto-trigger parsing from current-programs API when no programs exist
- Check Redis task lock to prevent duplicate parse tasks from concurrent requests
- Frontend retries up to 3 times with 10s delay to pick up parsed results
- Skip parsing for dummy EPG sources
- Extended CurrentProgramsAPIView to accept epg_data_ids parameter
- Added getCurrentProgramForEpg() API method in frontend
- Added UI in Channel form showing current program with tooltip
- Shows loading state, no program state, and program details
- Includes expandable description, progress bar with elapsed/remaining time
- Matches stats page 'Now Playing' feature behavior
- Use 'youtube_trailer' key (matching api_views.py and advanced refresh)
instead of orphaned 'trailer' key that was never consumed.
- On basic sync, only write director/actors/release_date to
custom_properties when the field is currently empty. This prevents
basic sync from overwriting richer data previously stored by
refresh_movie_advanced_data, while still populating those fields for
movies that have never had an advanced refresh run.
Tested: logic verified against all three scenarios (preserve existing
rich data, populate empty fields, youtube_trailer key propagation).

Cap credential-scoped group counters at profile.max_streams (not group.max_streams),
skip credential counters when fingerprint resolution fails, and always swap profile
counters on update_stream_profile. Restore per-profile-only selection for VOD/live
switches so a second stream can use a different login without invalid HTTP errors.

get_vod_streams on XC providers supplies director, cast/actors and
release_date for each movie, but process_movie_batch was only persisting
trailer in custom_properties. As a result those fields were always empty
in Dispatcharr's own get_vod_info / provider-info responses even when
the upstream provider returned correct data.
Changes:
- Extract director, actors (also mapped from 'cast') and release_date
from movie_data during the batch-import phase and store them in
custom_properties alongside the existing trailer field.
- Fix the update path to merge incoming custom_properties into the
existing dict (using {**existing, **incoming}) rather than overwriting
it wholesale, so that detailed_info and other keys written by the
advanced refresh task are preserved across subsequent basic syncs.

Channel.get_stream_profile() read self.stream_profile directly, bypassing
the override system. The override-aware property effective_stream_profile_obj
already existed and called _resolve_effective_fk('stream_profile') which
correctly picks override.stream_profile when set, but nothing in the
streaming path called it.
As a result, a per-channel 'Stream Profile' override saved through the UI
was visible in the channel edit form (yellow pencil indicator appeared) but
silently ignored at stream time — Dispatcharr always used the global default
profile regardless of what was configured per-channel.
Fix: call effective_stream_profile_obj in get_stream_profile() so that all
callers (live proxy url_utils, input manager, views) automatically pick up
channel-level overrides without any further changes.
Fixes#1268

The provider-info endpoints for both series and movies always returned
data from the highest-priority relation, ignoring the provider the user
had selected in the dropdown. Switching sources in the UI produced no
change in the episode list or movie details.
Root cause: the endpoints had no support for a relation_id query param,
and the frontend never passed one when the user changed the selection.
Fix (backend):
- series provider-info: accept ?relation_id=<id> and query that specific
M3USeriesRelation; fall back to highest-priority when omitted
- movie provider-info: same treatment for M3UMovieRelation
Fix (frontend):
- api.getSeriesInfo / api.getMovieProviderInfo accept an optional
relationId argument and append it to the query string
- useVODStore.fetchSeriesInfo / fetchMovieDetailsFromProvider forward
the argument to the API layer
- SeriesModal.onChangeSelectedProvider re-fetches series info (episodes
included) with the newly selected relation's id
- VODModal.onChangeSelectedProvider re-fetches movie details with the
newly selected relation's id
Fixes#1250

- Channel resolution: resolve by Channel.id first (what the XC API emits
to clients), fall back to provider stream_id for backward compatibility.
Fixes 404 on all timeshift requests from XC clients.
- Stream management: timeshift is now a first-class citizen alongside live
and VOD in the stream-limits system. get_user_active_connections()
detects type='timeshift', attempt_stream_termination() sets a Redis
stop key (same pattern as VOD), and the timeshift view calls
check_user_stream_limits() before connecting upstream. The stream
generator checks the stop key every 100 chunks. Fixes infinite retry
loops on max_connections=1 providers for live→timeshift and
timeshift→timeshift transitions.
- Streaming: replaced HTTPStreamReader thread+pipe with direct
iter_content+yield (same pattern as VOD proxy). The pipe approach
deadlocked under gevent because the reader thread's select() competed
with the greenlet's pipe read for hub scheduling. Throughput went
from ~74 B/s to 13+ MB/s.
- TS preamble: peek now strips pre-sync bytes (PHP warnings, BOM) before
prepending to the stream, preventing corrupt TS output.
- Credential safety: _redact_url() now truncates to scheme://host/...
to avoid leaking XC path-based credentials in logs.
- Tests: updated 5 tests that referenced the removed HTTPStreamReader.
21/21 timeshift tests pass.
- Migration: fixed SyntaxWarning for unescaped regex in 0038.
Adds native catch-up/timeshift replay for Xtream Codes providers through
the same HTTPStreamReader transport pipeline as live TV.
Timeshift proxy (apps/timeshift/):
- URL cascade: 3 candidate timestamp formats per provider, per-account
format cache for fast-forward seek performance
- MPEG-TS preamble stripping (shared with HTTPStreamReader)
- Stats integration: timeshift viewers appear on /stats with TIMESHIFT badge
- Auth via hmac.compare_digest on XC password
Catchup detection — denormalized for zero-cost output queries:
- Stream.is_catchup + Stream.catchup_days populated at XC import time
- Channel.has_catchup + Channel.catchup_days + Channel.catchup_provider_stream_id
rolled up via ChannelStream post_save signal (UI path) and explicit SQL
after bulk_create (import path)
- _xc_channel_entry() reads denormalized fields instead of per-channel
custom_properties JSON introspection (eliminates N+1 queries)
- Migration 0038 backfills existing data via raw SQL
XC API enhancements:
- server_info.timezone + start/end + time_now use configured timezone
(triple consistency rule — fixes wrong-programme-plays bug)
- Dynamic has_archive flag + auto prev_days for catch-up channels
- XMLTV timestamps rewritten to local timezone for catch-up clients
HTTPStreamReader extended (apps/proxy/live_proxy/input/http_streamer.py):
- 1 MB pipe buffer via fcntl F_SETPIPE_SZ (eliminates producer/consumer
ping-pong that halved throughput)
- Pre-opened response= for URL cascade workflows
- strip_ts_preamble= for XC servers emitting PHP warnings before TS
- find_ts_sync() as shared utility
- Builds on upstream O_NONBLOCK + select() write loop
Provider stream_id lookup order:
- stream_xc() and xc_get_epg() try internal Channel.id first, fall back
to provider stream_id only when needed (avoids unconditional query on
every request)
Also includes:
- VOD provider cascade in stream_vod() — iterates all M3U relations by
priority when first provider is at capacity
- Defensive null-safety: custom_sid: None → "" in get_live_streams,
get_vod_streams, get_vod_info, get_series_info (fixes iPlayTV crash on
JSON null for string fields)
- Timeshift settings UI (timezone selector, debug toggle)
- StreamConnectionCard violet TIMESHIFT badge
- Orphan cleanup skips timeshift_* virtual channels
Drop auto-fingerprint migration and restore per-profile selection for live/VOD.
Enforce shared limits on reserve using login-scoped group counters, and add
Server Groups UI for manual account assignment per maintainer feedback (#1137).
