## LiveGardenTVPlus – Changelog (v2.8)

### 📊 Playlist Comparison (Compare)

- **New "Compare..." button** in the playlist editor toolbar.

- **Load second playlist** from local file (JSON/M3U) or from URL.

- **Full filter panel** – Same filters as the playlist editor: Name, URL, Group, Logo URL, TvgId, Favorite, Country, GeoBlocked, Nanoid, Languages (comma), Youtube URL, Stream URL, Status.

- **Compare by field** – Choose between: Name, URL, TvgId, Logo, Group, Country, Languages, Nanoid.

- **Smart (Priority) mode** – Intelligent matching with priority:

1. **URL** – normalized (removes protocol, domain, extensions, common segments). If at least one URL matches, channels are considered equal.

2. **Name** – normalized (removes quality indicators like `(1080p)`, `[HD]`, etc.).

3. **TvgId**

4. **Logo**

- **Results grid** – Shows status (`Only in First`, `Only in Second`, `In Both`). Click column headers to sort.

- **Export results**:

- **Export missing** – exports only channels present in the second playlist but not in the first (useful for integration).

- **Export all** – exports the entire second playlist.

- **Export selected** – exports only the rows selected in the results grid.

- Supported formats: JSON (all fields) and M3U.

### 🖥️ Playlist Editor Enhancements

- **Export Selected** – New button in the Actions group. Exports only the channels selected in the DataGrid (M3U or JSON).

- **Delete Selected** – Supports multi‑row deletion with confirmation, automatically updates filters and channel count.

- **Stop Button** – Cancels long‑running operations (URL checks, logo fetching, etc.).

### 📋 Main Window Context Menu

Right‑click any channel in the left TreeView to access:

- **Copy Name** – Copies the channel name to the clipboard.

- **Copy URL** – Copies the channel URL to the clipboard.

- **Move to Group** – Opens a dialog to select an existing group (or create a new one) and moves the channel.

- **Delete** – Removes the selected channel with confirmation.

- **Export** – Exports the single channel as M3U or JSON.

### 🎨 Theme Fixes

- Added `DataGridCell` and `DataGridRow` selection styles to all 16 themes.

- Selected rows and cells now correctly display with the theme's `AccentBrush` background and white text, eliminating white‑on‑white or black‑on‑black visibility issues.

### 🐛 Bug Fixes

- Fixed DataGrid row selection – text no longer white‑on‑white (or black‑on‑black) across themes.

- Fixed URL comparison – matching now works URL‑by‑URL (any match = match).

- Fixed JSON import for deeply nested structures (e.g., `tvg.id`, `tvg.logo`, `group.title`, `http.referrer`).

### 🌐 New Translations

All new strings for filters, export selected, context menu, and comparison features are fully localizable via `LanguageManager`.

### Code Editor Tab in Playlist Editor

- **New "Code" Tab** – Added a second tab in the Playlist Editor alongside the existing "Grid" tab.

Allows viewing and editing the playlist content as raw code (M3U or JSON).

- **Two‑way synchronization** –

- **Grid → Code**: Switch to the "Code" tab to see the current playlist formatted as JSON (default) or M3U.

- **Code → Grid**: Paste or edit M3U/JSON code, click **"Apply / Import"**, and the playlist grid updates instantly.

- **Display Format Selection** – Choose how the code is displayed in the editor:

- **JSON** – full structured view with all metadata.

- **M3U** – classic M3U format with `#EXTM3U`, `#EXTINF`, and channel URLs.

- **Import Format Selection** – Choose how the pasted code should be interpreted:

- **Auto (recommended)** – automatically detects whether the code is JSON or M3U.

- **JSON** – forces JSON parsing.

- **M3U** – forces M3U parsing.

- **Copy to Clipboard** – One‑click copy of the current code (JSON or M3U) to the system clipboard.

- **Refresh Code** – Regenerates the code from the current grid state.

- **Fast performance** – Handles playlists with 10,000+ channels smoothly.

### New Translations

All new strings for filters, export selected, context menu, and comparison features are fully localizable via `LanguageManager`.

### Bug Fixes

- Fixed auto‑detection for M3U code (now recognizes `#EXTM3U` and `#EXTINF` even with leading whitespace).

- Added specific error messages for JSON and M3U parsing failures.

- Prevented UI freezes when generating code for large playlists (async generation).
