- Implemented HDHR output profile URL support for specific transcode profiles.
- Introduced a default output profile setting in Stream Settings.
- Updated API views to handle channel profiles and output profiles.
- Migrated preferred region and auto-import settings to system settings.
- Enhanced frontend forms to include output profile selection and descriptions.
- Add Array.isArray() guard in parseSettings for series_rules, matching the existing EPG ignore list pattern
- Include series_rules in arrayFields list in getChangedSettings to prevent stringification during settings round-trip
- Add 5 tests covering valid, corrupted, and missing series_rules data
- Add search, channel, and status filter controls to DVR page (matching Guide/VODs pattern)
- Fix post_save signal to schedule recordings for currently-playing programs immediately instead of skipping them
- Remove duplicate evaluate_series_rules.delay() call from series rule creation endpoint to prevent race condition that created two recordings for the same program
Fixes#940: Duplicate DVR task executions were caused by ClockedSchedule objects being shared across PeriodicTasks, triggering run_recording multiple
times for the same recording. Added an idempotency guard in run_recording that exits early if status is already 'recording', 'completed', or 'stopped'.
revoke_task() now deletes the PeriodicTask and orphaned ClockedSchedule on execution rather than relying on Celery revocation alone.
Fixes#454: Added POST /api/channels/recordings/{id}/stop/ action that marks the recording as stopped and terminates only the specific DVR proxy client (identified via User-Agent: Dispatcharr-DVR/recording-{id}) without disrupting
simultaneous recordings on the same or other channels. The API returns
immediately; DVR client teardown and task revocation happen in a background thread to avoid 504 timeouts on the recordings list endpoint.
Additional changes:
- destroy() now only calls _stop_dvr_clients() for in-progress recordings, preventing accidental stream termination when deleting completed recordings
- WebSocket events differentiated: recording_stopped, recording_cancelled (in-progress cancel), and recording_cancelled (delete) with was_in_progress flag so the frontend shows distinct "Recording deleted" vs "Recording cancelled" notifications
- Frontend: Stop and Cancel split into separate buttons with confirmation
modals; stopped recordings move immediately to Previously Recorded via
optimistic status bucketing; removed dead 'Stopped' badge state
- 27 new unit tests covering scheduling, idempotency, revocation, and DVR client isolation
Enhanced EPG matching UX by adding radio button toggle to more clearly define optional advanced options. Also added test coverage for stability.
Frontend Changes:
- Added radio button UI to EPGMatchModal for default/advanced mode selection
- Default mode: Uses built-in normalization
- Advanced mode: Shows TagsInput fields for custom prefixes/suffixes/strings
- Mode persists across sessions and settings are preserved when switching modes
Test Coverage:
- Created EPGMatchModal.test.jsx with test cases covering:
- Component rendering and mode switching
- Form submission and settings persistence
- Error handling and UI text variations
- Added test cases to SettingsUtils.test.js for EPG mode handling:
- epg_match_mode routing to epg_settings group
- Settings creation and preservation
Since advanced settings are saved persistently but ignored when default settings are used, this adds an easy way in the future to add additional advanced settings to EPG matching like region influence, match aggression, and match preview, since users can easily switch between modes.
Implements user-configurable string removal for EPG matching to improve channel-to-EPG
association accuracy. Settings are non-destructive and only affect EPG matching
normalization, never modifying actual channel display names.
- Currently playing program title displayed with live broadcast indicator (green Radio icon)
- Expandable program descriptions via chevron button
- Efficient POST-based API endpoint (`/api/epg/current-programs/`) supporting batch channel queries or fetching all channels
- Smart scheduling that fetches new program data 5 seconds after current program ends
- Only polls when active channel list changes, not on stats refresh
- Channel preview button: Added preview functionality to active stream cards on stats page
