System Event Logging:
- Add SystemEvent model with 15 event types tracking channel operations, client connections, M3U/EPG activities, and buffering events
- Log detailed metrics for M3U/EPG refresh operations (streams/programs created/updated/deleted)
- Track M3U/EPG downloads with client information (IP address, user agent, profile, channel count)
- Record channel lifecycle events (start, stop, reconnect) with stream and client details
- Monitor client connections/disconnections and buffering events with stream metadata
Event Viewer UI:
- Add SystemEvents component with real-time updates via WebSocket
- Implement pagination, filtering by event type, and configurable auto-refresh
- Display events with color-coded badges and type-specific icons
- Integrate event viewer into Stats page with modal display
- Add event management settings (retention period, refresh rate)
M3U/EPG Endpoint Optimizations:
- Implement content caching with 5-minute TTL to reduce duplicate processing
- Add client-based event deduplication (2-second window) using IP and user agent hashing
- Support HEAD requests for efficient preflight checks
- Cache streamed EPG responses while maintaining streaming behavior for first request
The ChannelSerializer.to_representation() method was not respecting the
ChannelStream.order field when serializing PATCH/PUT responses. This
caused streams to be returned in an arbitrary order rather than the
order specified in the request.
The update() method correctly saves the stream order to the database
using the ChannelStream.order field, and GET requests (with
include_streams=True) correctly return ordered streams via
get_streams(). However, standard PATCH/PUT responses were using
PrimaryKeyRelatedField which doesn't respect the ordering.
This fix ensures that all representations (GET, PATCH, PUT) return
streams ordered by the channelstream__order field.
Impact:
- PATCH/PUT responses now correctly reflect the stream order saved
- Clients can trust the response data without needing a follow-up GET
- No breaking changes - only fixes inconsistent behavior
Tested with:
- PATCH request with ordered stream IDs
- Verified response matches request order
- Verified GET request confirms order persisted to database
- Created VODLogo model for movies/series, separate from Logo (channels only)
- Added database migration to create vodlogo table and migrate existing VOD logos
- Implemented VODLogoViewSet with pagination, filtering (used/unused/movies/series), and bulk operations
- Built VODLogosTable component with server-side pagination matching channel logos styling
- Added VOD logos tab with on-demand loading to Logos page
- Fixed orphaned VOD content cleanup to always remove unused entries
- Removed redundant channel_assignable filtering from channel logos
