The range-conflict warning classified each channel in the configured range as either this config's own auto-sync output or a real conflict, comparing each occupant against the source group. When a group sets a group_override, auto-sync creates its channels in the override target group, so the config's own channels failed that comparison and were misclassified as a conflict.
- Add effectiveSyncGroupId to resolve the group the sync's channels actually land in (the group_override target when set, otherwise the source group).
- Compare occupants against that effective target, so the config's own output is recognized while genuine conflicts (manual channels, channels from another account, channels in a different group, user-pinned numbers) still warn.
- Add Vitest coverage for the helper, the override case, and an over-suppression guard, plus a backend test asserting the numbers-in-range endpoint reports the override target group.
- Implemented `ensure_custom_properties_dict()` to normalize custom properties across various models and serializers, addressing issues with legacy JSON-encoded strings.
- Updated M3U account and channel group models to ensure custom properties are consistently stored as dictionaries during save operations.
- Enhanced Celery task management by ensuring old DB connections are closed before and after tasks, improving reliability and preventing errors during account refresh operations. (Fixes#1338)
- Implemented `normalize_server_url()` to standardize account server URLs, ensuring that on-demand live URLs are built correctly without including API endpoints or query parameters.
- Updated `get_transformed_credentials()` and stream URL generation in `M3UMovieRelation` and `M3UEpisodeRelation` to utilize the new normalization function, improving URL handling for Xtream Codes accounts.
- Improved memory cleanup by invoking `gc.collect()` after batch processing in `process_m3u_batch_direct` and `collect_xc_streams`, ensuring timely release of resources.
- Added tests to verify that garbage collection is triggered appropriately after batch operations.
- Introduced a new helper function to generate user-facing error messages for RANGE_EXHAUSTED failures, ensuring the fallback range is correctly displayed.
- Updated tests to verify that the error message reflects the fallback range instead of the hidden auto_sync_channel_start, enhancing clarity for users.
- Replaced individual EPG program parse tasks with a centralized dispatch function to streamline guide refresh for newly assigned EPG IDs.
- Implemented batching for guide fetches when multiple EPGs are mapped, reducing redundant API calls and improving efficiency.
- Updated related utility functions to support the new fetching strategy and added tests to ensure correct behavior under various scenarios.
- Removed redundant logic for releasing server group slots in `move_credential_slot_on_profile_switch` and `release_profile_slot`.
- Simplified the `_release_server_group_slot_for_profile` function by eliminating it, as its functionality was integrated into other methods.
- Improved logging in the Stream model for better debugging of profile evaluations.
- Introduced a new method `_stream_assignment_is_reusable` in the Channel model to determine if existing stream assignments can be reused, enhancing efficiency.
- Updated the release logic in `release_profile_slot` to utilize stored credential keys, reducing unnecessary database lookups.
- Simplified error handling in the `get_stream_info_for_switch` function to ensure proper stream release on exceptions.
- Enhanced tests for connection pool management and error handling in the ServerGroupsTable component to improve reliability and user feedback.
- Renamed `_clear_stream_assignment_keys` to `_release_stale_stream_assignment` for clarity and updated its logic to release pool counters.
- Introduced new functions for managing credential slots during profile switches, enhancing the handling of shared connection limits across server groups.
- Removed the `max_streams` field from the `ServerGroup` model and updated related components to reflect this change, simplifying the server group management.
- Updated frontend components to integrate server group management, allowing for dynamic creation and editing of server groups.
- Enhanced error handling in stream URL generation to provide more informative feedback on connection issues.
- Added tests for stale assignment release and credential management during profile switches.
- A duplicate provider number keeps one channel and falls the collider back to a free number.
- A provider number matching an existing channel falls back instead of overwriting it.
The auto-sync overhaul added a [start, end] range and a shared numbering picker, but each mode's UI exposes only a subset of the persisted fields (Provider's "Start #" writes channel_numbering_fallback; Next Available exposes no Start/End) while the backend read auto_sync_channel_start and auto_sync_channel_end in every mode. Switching modes never resets the others, so a stale or auto-computed value silently changed numbering.
- Provider mode honors the provider-supplied number (stream_chno) verbatim; the group's Start (channel_numbering_fallback) and End bound only the fallback for streams the provider did not number. auto_sync_channel_start is no longer applied in provider mode.
- Next Available ignores End, since its UI exposes no range.
- Range enforcement (the overflow-delete) runs in fixed mode only, the one mode with a user-set [start, end] range.
- Provider mode gains the Start>End guard fixed mode already had, so an inverted fallback range cannot fail every numberless stream.
Includes backend and frontend regression tests.
The compact repack read its channels with no ORDER BY, so the pack followed PostgreSQL's physical row order. That order drifts after the
UPDATEs each repack issues, so successive syncs
packed the same channels into different numbers within the configured range. Auto-synced channel numbers reshuffled on every sync even when the provider had not changed.
- Add .order_by("id") to the _repack_inner channel query so the pack is deterministic. id order is creation order, which tracks the provider stream order used by the default "provider" sort.
- Add c.id as a secondary key to the name / tvg_id / updated_at sorts so equal values (e.g. blank tvg_id) break ties deterministically instead of churning.
- Add a deterministic regression test that forces a physical heap reorder (CLUSTER) and asserts two consecutive repacks produce identical channel numbers.
Store credential Redis keys at reserve so release works when the profile row is deleted. Return reserve failure reasons to avoid fingerprint DB queries on logging paths. Document unlimited profile bypass in pool logic and Server Group UI.

Streams matched by hash during refresh were not updating channel_group_id,
causing cleanup to delete all streams when group IDs change (e.g., after
migration reset). Adds channel_group_id to comparison, assignment, only()
fetch, and bulk_update in both standard and XC processing paths.
- Compact numbering: resolve the source relation when an override stores channels under the target group, so hiding releases the slot, unhiding assigns one, and repack sees the channels (no more spurious RANGE_EXHAUSTED). Type-safe override match; the bulk path stays single-query on the common path.
- Channel form: keep the clear-override control available when an override's value equals the provider value (isFormFieldOverridden is now existence-aware).
- Tests: compact override hide/unhide/repack, no-override fast-path guard, repack query-scaling guard, and existence-aware override detection.
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.

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).

Group M3U/XC accounts and profiles that share the same provider login into auto-assigned ServerGroups keyed by credential fingerprint. Enforce combined Redis limits for live TV and VOD via apps/m3u/connection_pool.py.
- Per-profile fingerprinting (XC transforms and STD stream URLs)
- VOD profile selection tries alternates when default credential pool is full (fixes live then VOD failure)
- Stats UI shows provider login from active stream URL
- Tests: apps/m3u/tests/test_connection_pool.py (11 tests, all passing)

Layered on top of the prior perf commits, removes additional per-row queries
Channel list (apps/channels): add auto_created_by to select_related so ChannelSerializer.get_auto_created_by_name does not fire one SELECT per row. Replace instance.streams.all().order_by(channelstream__order) in to_representation with a read off the prefetched channelstream_set.
M3U account list (apps/m3u): prefetch_related "filters" on the viewset queryset and sort filters in Python over the prefetch in M3UAccountSerializer.get_filters.
Frontend (EditableCell.jsx): align the saveValue useCallback dependency from [row.original.id] to [row.original] in the Number, Group, EPG, and Logo cells, matching the pattern applied to the Text cell.
Drop 3UAccount.auto_cleanup_unused_channels field and its migration (apps/m3u/0020). Replace with a 3-state string under M3UAccount.custom_properties.orphan_channel_cleanup: "always" (default), "preserve_customized", "never".
Move the UI from a checkbox on the M3U account form to a SegmentedControl at the top of LiveGroupFilter. Local state mirrors the prop for immediate click feedback; reverts on API error.
M3UAccountSerializer.update() now merges incoming custom_properties before layering the typed preference fields on top.
Add LiveGroupFilter.test.jsx (5 cases). Replace AutoCleanupToggleTests with OrphanCleanupModeTests (5 cases) for the new 3-state contract.
The previous name suggested "hidden from a specific user account" rather than "hidden from downstream client output", which was the actual
behavior. The new name is unambiguous and matches the help_text language ("Exclude this channel from downstream client output").
Mechanical rename across the migration, model, serializer, signals, sync logic, output endpoints, frontend forms / tables / utils, tests, and CHANGELOG. 77 occurrences across 20 files.
No behavior change.
Per-field channel overrides for auto-synced channels, hide-from-output flag, range-bounded auto-numbering with re-pack, multi-stream channel safety, multi-provider shared-range merging, and an across-the-board move from per-row sync writes to bulk operations.

- Rewrote the M3U line parser as an `iter_m3u_entries` generator that owns the full per-entry state machine. Intermediate directive lines between `#EXTINF` and the stream URL are now handled correctly rather than corrupting the pending entry or being silently misassigned. A `#EXTINF` with no following URL is discarded with a warning instead of carrying over a `url`-less entry into batch processing. Attribute keys are normalised to lowercase during parsing (provider attribute names remain case-insensitive end-to-end). The `#EXTINF` attribute regex is pre-compiled at module load, and attribute lookups use O(1) `dict.get()` instead of linear scans — approximately 10% faster parsing on large M3U files.
- Added support for the `#EXTGRP` directive in M3U files. When a `group-title` attribute is absent from the `#EXTINF` line, the value from a following `#EXTGRP:` line is used as the group. An explicit `group-title` attribute always takes priority. (Closes#1088)
- Added accumulation of `#EXTVLCOPT` directives per entry. Options are stored as a list under `vlc_opts` inside the stream's `custom_properties`, available for downstream use (e.g. passing VLC-specific options to the player). This is for a planned future enhancement and can also be utlized with the API.
