IPTVnator v0.17.0 🚀

This release brings a fresh look, smoother navigation, and several improvements across M3U, Xtream/Stalker, and the general UI. Plus, a major internal restructuring that sets the stage for faster development in the future.

What's Changed

M3U Improvements

• Display of the current EPG program directly inside the channel list
• Updated look & feel for the EPG sidebar
• Completely reworked UI for multi-EPG view
• Visual refinements to the remote control mode
• Ability to switch channels by typing the channel number on your keyboard

Xtream Codes / Stalker Portal

• Unique look & feel for Stalker (STB) and Xtream Codes (XC) interfaces
• More compact sidebar → more space for channels and categories
• Added option to refresh the Xtream playlist

General Updates

• New empty start page with a redesigned header
• Auto-refresh status indicator in playlist overview
• New option to reuse a single MPV instance when switching channels (faster zapping & less resource usage)

Under the Hood

A lot changed behind the scenes to make future development easier and more stable:

• Fully restructured repository into a monorepo, which is an important foundation for upcoming features
• Updated dependencies across the project
• Improved i18n and translation structure

Note: PWA and Docker images will follow shortly in separate builds.
