- 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.
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.
Restructure cleanup in refresh_single_m3u_account so del statements
run before gc.collect(), enabling cyclic garbage collection. Add worker_max_memory_per_child as a safety net against memory fragmentation.
Closes#1012, Closes#1053
Replace N+1 update_or_create() loop with bulk_create(update_conflicts=True)
wrapped in transaction.atomic(). On large M3U accounts with many groups,
the previous approach issued individual DB queries per group/category,
which could take minutes on slower hardware like Synology NAS devices.
Five early-return paths released the Redis lock without stopping the
renewal thread, and the final release_task_lock was outside the finally block making it unreachable on exception. All exit paths now properly
stop the renewer before releasing the lock.
Large M3U downloads that exceed the 300s Redis lock TTL caused Celery Beat
to re-queue duplicate tasks, creating overlapping downloads that never complete.
Files changed:
- core/utils.py: Add TaskLockRenewer class — a daemon thread that periodically renews Redis lock TTL (every 120s) to prevent expiry during long-running tasks.
- apps/m3u/tasks.py: Apply TaskLockRenewer to refresh_single_m3u_account and refresh_m3u_groups; add HTTP timeout (30s connect, 60s read) to M3U download (the only download path missing one); stream M3U download to disk instead of accumulating in memory; add Celery task time limits (1 hour hard limit).
- apps/epg/tasks.py: Apply TaskLockRenewer to refresh_epg_data and parse_programs_for_tvg_id; add Celery task time limits (30 min / 1 hour).
Verified with a throttled test server: locks renewed at T+120s, T+240s, T+360s; 50,000 streams processed with no duplicate tasks.
Add cron expression support for M3U and EPG refreshes with interactive
builder modal and quick reference examples. Refactor backup scheduling
to use shared ScheduleInput component for consistency.
- New CronBuilder modal with preset buttons and custom field editors
- Info popover with common cron expression examples
- Shared ScheduleInput component for interval/cron toggle
- Fix credential extraction in get_transformed_credentials() using negative
indices anchored to the known tail structure instead of hardcoded indices
that break when server URLs contain sub-paths
- Fix EPG URL construction in M3U form to normalize server URL to origin
before appending xmltv.php endpoint
XC accounts with sub-paths in their server URL (e.g., http://server.com/portal/a/) caused two failures: profile refresh extracted wrong credentials from the URL path due to hardcoded array indices, and EPG auto-creation appended xmltv.php under the sub-path instead of at the domain root. Both fixes normalize away the sub-path using the same approach the backend's XCClient already uses for API calls.
- Native Bearer token authentication support in Swagger UI - users can now enter just the JWT token and the "Bearer " prefix is automatically added
- Modern OpenAPI 3.0 specification compliance
- Better auto-generation of request/response schemas
- Improved documentation accuracy with serializer introspection
- Added `is_adult` boolean field to both Stream and Channel models with database indexing for efficient filtering and sorting
- Automatically populated during M3U/XC refresh operations by extracting `is_adult` value from provider data
- Type-safe conversion supporting both integer (0/1) and string ("0"/"1") formats from different providers
- UI controls in channel edit form (Switch with tooltip) and bulk edit form (Select dropdown) for easy management
- XtreamCodes API support with proper integer formatting (0/1) in live stream responses
- Automatic propagation from streams to channels during both single and bulk channel creation operations
- Included in serializers for full API support
- User-level content filtering: Non-admin users can opt to hide mature content channels across all interfaces (web UI, M3U playlists, EPG data, XtreamCodes API) via "Hide Mature Content" toggle in user settings (stored in custom_properties, admin users always see all content)
