📼 DVR

The DVR engine and interface have received a major overhaul, bringing live timeshifting, seamless post-processing, and full resume support.

• Live Timeshifting (Chase Play): In-progress recordings are now seekable LIVE
• Automatic MP4 Remuxing: When a recording completes, ViniPlay automatically executes a fast, zero-reencode remux from raw .ts to .mp4 (-c:v copy -c:a aac -movflags +faststart) and unlinks the original file. This allows smooth native timeline scrubbing with zero duplicated storage.
• Resume Watching Progress: Playback progress for both live timeshifts and completed recordings is now saved to your user profile. When returning, a prompt asks "Do you want to resume where you left off?".
• Major UI Rehaul: Redesigned the DVR page using the new unified card layout, sticky toolbar, and clean pill navigation tabs.
• Accurate Schedule Times: Fixed start and end timestamps in the DVR schedule and recordings list.
• (FIX) Background Click to Stop: Clicking or tapping the modal backdrop now cleanly stops playback and tears down active stream sessions.

🎬 VOD (Movies & Series)

The VOD section has been upgraded with improved transcoding playback and full seeking support.

• Seeking While Transcoding: Full timeline seeking and scrubbing are now enabled when streaming VOD content with transcoding profiles.
• Transcoding Playback Fix: Resolved issues where transcoded movie and episode streams would fail to start or stutter.
• Context-Aware Group Filter: The VOD group dropdown now automatically syncs with the active tab (All, Movies, or Series)
• Resume Watching Prompt: Saves your VOD progress per user account and asks if you want to resume upon reopening.

📱 Player & Mobile Experience

Major enhancements to make playback on smartphones and tablets smooth, battery-friendly, and accidental-touch resistant.

• Screen Auto-Lock Prevention (Wake Lock): Integrated the Screen Wake Lock API so mobile screens no longer dim or lock while video is playing in windowed mode, fullscreen, or PiP.
• Player Screen Lock: Added a dedicated Lock button to the player controls. When locked, touch gestures and backdrop taps are disabled to prevent accidental interruptions while holding your phone or pocketing it.
• "Audio Only" Mode: Added a dedicated button to switch to an audio-only stream to save data and battery, with an instant toggle to resume video.
• Background Audio: Audio now continues playing when the mobile screen is locked (subject to mobile browser capabilities).
• PiP & Notification Stability: Fixed video refreshing/reloading on mobile when push notifications arrive or when entering and exiting Picture-in-Picture.
• Improved Player Controls: Redesigned player buttons with clearer icons, better spacing, and improved touch targets.

📺 TV Guide, Sources & Groups

Navigation and channel browsing are now much cleaner and more intuitive.

• Connected Sources & Groups: Selecting an M3U or Xtream Codes source now dynamically filters and displays only the groups belonging to that specific source.

⚙️ Responsive Layouts & Device Sizing

Personalization is now split intelligently between device-specific display settings and cross-device user sync.

• Per-Device Layout Sizing: Player modal size, TV Guide channel column width, and the program details container size are saved per device (using a unique device identifier). Custom layout fits each smartphone, tablet, and PC without interfering with each other.
• Cross-Device User Sync: While layout sizes are kept per device, watch progress (DVR & VOD) is tied to your user account so you can resume on any screen seamlessly.

📊 Activity & Admin Monitoring

Monitoring and session hygiene have been hardened to eliminate phantom streams and provide accurate stats.

• Activity Tab for Redirect Streams: Redirect streams now report accurate active session counts and resource usage via 30-second client heartbeats.
• Ghost Stream Cleanup: Inactive or orphaned redirect and transcoded streams are automatically reaped when tabs are closed or backgrounded.
• Corrected RAM Usage: Fixed system memory reporting on the admin dashboard.
