Changelog

✨ What's New in Version 1.3

✨ New Features & Improvements

• Electronic Program Guide (EPG) support
  • EPG URL (x-tvg-url) is automatically extracted from the M3U playlist header.
  • Program data is downloaded in the background (supports .gz compressed XMLTV).
  • Current programme title, start and end times are displayed in the status bar, automatically converted to the user’s local timezone.
  • Timezone handling: supports UTC with explicit offset (e.g., +0200) or assumed UTC.
• Channel logos
  • Channel icons (tvg-logo) are now displayed next to each channel in the TreeView.
  • Images are loaded from remote URLs with a fallback default icon when the logo is missing or fails to load.
  • Improved visual appearance with larger, adjustable icon sizes (32x32) and bigger font for channel names.

🔧 Fixes

• M3U parser improvements
  • The parser now correctly skips extra metadata lines (e.g., #EXTSIZE, #EXTVLCOPT) that were breaking URL extraction.
  • All channels, including those with additional tags, are now properly loaded.
• Streaming stability
  • Restored reliable HLS playback that was temporarily affected by parser changes.
  • WebView2 player initialisation simplified to avoid race conditions.
• UI enhancements
  • Added a draggable GridSplitter between channel list and player (resizable sidebar).
  • Toggle sidebar button now hides both the channel column and the splitter.
  • Channel list items (logos, folder icons, text) enlarged for better readability.

⚠️ Known Issue

• Language selector – Changing the language in the Settings window does not fully refresh the GUI. Some UI texts remain in the previously selected language. A complete dynamic UI refresh on language change is planned for a future release.

✨ What's New in Version 1.2

• Auto‑update – A new fix for "Update" and restarts the app after replacing files.

⚠️ Known Issue

• Language selector – The language setting in the Settings window currently does not fully update the GUI.
  
  Some texts may remain in the previously selected language. A complete UI refresh on language change is planned for a future release.

✨ What's New in Version 1.1

• Auto‑update – A new "Update" button (toolbar or Help menu) checks for a newer version on GitHub.
  
  If found, it downloads the ZIP, extracts it, and restarts the app after replacing files.
• Version display – The current version (e.g., 1.0) now appears in the main window title, in the Help dialog, and in the "No updates available" message.
• Improved installer (Inno Setup)
  • Multi‑language selection at startup (English, Italian, Arabic, French, Turkish, Polish, German, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian).
  • Donation page with QR codes (PayPal & Ko‑fi).
  • Optional .NET Runtime info page with a clickable download link.
• Cleaner distribution – The ZIP and setup no longer include WebView2 cache or duplicate folders (Languages\Languages, PlayerHost\PlayerHost).
• Translations – All update‑related messages now use LanguageManager.GetTranslation() for easier localization.

✨ Features (Version 1.0)

• Playlist support – Load M3U/M3U8 files from your PC or from a remote URL.
• GitHub playlist browser – Automatically fetches all .m3u files from the TivuStreamList repository (root + local/ subfolder). Includes a fallback static list.
• Channel grouping – TreeView with group drill‑down, search, favorites.
• Themes – 16 predefined color themes + Light/Dark mode, changeable at runtime.
• Player controls – Play/Pause, speed (0.5×, 1×, 2×), buffer slider (1–10 seconds), Picture‑in‑Picture (PIP).
• Fullscreen mode – Hides all UI; press ESC to exit.
• Sidebar toggle – Collapse the channel list to focus on video.
• Settings window – Change buffer size, select online playlist (GitHub refresh), and choose UI language (see note below).
• Persistent preferences – Saves last playlist URL, buffer, theme, and language (language not yet fully applied).
