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.
- 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
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.
Replace hardcoded localhost:6379 values throughout codebase with environment-based configuration. Add REDIS_PORT support and allow REDIS_URL override for external Redis services. Configure Celery broker/result backend to use Redis settings with environment variable overrides.

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
This enhancement introduces a powerful custom dummy EPG system that allows users to generate EPG programs on-demand by parsing channel or stream names using configurable regex patterns.
Key Features:
- Custom Pattern Matching: Define regex patterns to extract information from channel/stream names (teams, leagues, times, dates, etc.)
- Flexible Name Source: Choose to parse either the channel name or a specific stream name (by index)
- Timezone-Aware Scheduling: Automatic DST handling using pytz timezone names (e.g., 'US/Eastern', 'Europe/London')
- Time Format Support: Parse both 12-hour (AM/PM) and 24-hour time formats
- Date Parsing: Extract dates from names with flexible month/day/year patterns
- Custom Templates: Format EPG titles and descriptions using captured groups with {placeholder} syntax
- Upcoming/Ended Customization: Define custom titles and descriptions for programs before and after scheduled events
- Live Preview: Test patterns and templates in real-time with sample input
- Smart Program Generation: Automatically creates "Upcoming" and "Ended" programs around scheduled events
Use Cases:
- Sports channels with event details in stream names (e.g., "NHL 01: Bruins VS Leafs @ 8:00PM ET")
- Movie channels with genre/title/year information
- Racing events with driver/track/series details
- Any scenario where EPG data is embedded in channel/stream naming conventions
Technical Implementation:
- Backend: Pattern matching engine with timezone conversion and program scheduling logic
- Frontend: Interactive form with validation, pattern testing, and visual group preview
- Name Source Options: Parse from channel name or selectable stream index (1-based)
- Fallback Behavior: Uses standard dummy EPG if patterns don't match
- Custom Properties: Stores all configuration in EPGSource.custom_properties JSON field
Configuration Options:
- Title Pattern: Extract primary information (required)
- Time Pattern: Extract hour/minute/AM-PM (optional)
- Date Pattern: Extract month/day/year (optional)
- Timezone: Event timezone with automatic DST support
- Program Duration: Length of generated programs in minutes
- Title Template: Format EPG title using captured groups
- Description Template: Format EPG description using captured groups
- Upcoming Title Template: Custom title for programs before event starts (optional)
- Upcoming Description Template: Custom description for programs before event starts (optional)
- Ended Title Template: Custom title for programs after event ends (optional)
- Ended Description Template: Custom description for programs after event ends (optional)
- Name Source: Channel name or stream name
- Stream Index: Which stream to use when parsing stream names (1, 2, 3, etc.)
