webOS IPTV Player v1.10.0
✨ Features
- Dedicated Guide tab — open the program guide directly from the tab bar on both M3U and Xtream setups.
- Xtream live output selection — choose TS, HLS, or automatic output per account. Existing accounts continue to default to TS.
- Expanded M3U support — improved syntax, encoding and format detection, metadata preservation, multiple EPG sources, diagnostics, and HLS handling.
- Favorites in the guide — filter EPG channels using playlist-aware Favorites.
🚀 Performance & UX
- Large-library virtualization — channels, EPG rows, Search, Movies, Series, episodes, and group menus now keep bounded DOM windows for responsive navigation with collections of up to 50,000 items.
- Faster M3U parsing — reduced per-channel allocations and avoided unnecessary metadata storage, substantially improving large-playlist parsing on TVs.
- Faster XMLTV parsing — replaced DOM parsing with a streaming scanner, reducing the 50,000-program TV benchmark from approximately 3.1 seconds to 0.8 seconds.
- Lower EPG memory use — each XMLTV source is filtered to the channels used by its playlists while preserving display-name aliases, renamed channels, and cache freshness.
- Faster EPG navigation — indexed programme times and avoided full grid reconciliation while moving within the rendered programme window.
- Faster Search — reusable indexes and bounded results avoid rebuilding fields and sorting every match while preserving progressive results and scroll position.
- More reliable Xtream browsing — bounded provider responses and cancellation of obsolete catalog work prevent stale account or view requests from updating caches.
- Improved layouts — refined the guide, localized player group panel, Search results, and Series detail scrolling.
- Built-in group and subtitle labels are now consistently localized.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed duplicate playing indicators when live and catch-up entries referenced the same channel.

- Distinguished named closed-caption tracks from subtitle renditions with the same name.
