webOS IPTV Player v1.9.0

Channel and group customization — reorder, hide, rename, and regroup channels directly from the Live list using the remote or Magic Remote. Changes persist across playlist refreshes and stay synchronized with playback, Search, EPG, Favorites, and Settings.
Favorites management — manage Favorites from the channel list with multi-select, select-all, and batch removal while retaining normal playback and channel editing.
Expanded player navigation — switch groups from a dedicated sliding panel and access playlist-aware Recently Watched entries, including direct catch-up resume.
Expanded EPG navigation — filter the guide by playlist or Xtream account, narrow channels by group, and search by channel name using the remote, pointer, or on-screen keyboard.
Adjustable text size — scale app text from 80% to 150% in Appearance settings without changing the fixed TV layout or control dimensions.
Full app reset — clear settings, playlists, history, and IndexedDB caches from Settings through a confirmed reset flow.

Virtualized player playlist — only visible channel rows and a small overscan buffer are rendered, keeping navigation and scrolling responsive with very large playlists.
Faster startup — channel loading no longer waits for the bundled service, Developer Mode detection, or upload reconciliation. Uploaded-only setups and reminder delivery are restored through background initialization.
Refined Settings experience — improved hierarchy, alignment, dropdown sizing, dismissal behavior, and remote navigation across localized settings pages.
Overflowing channel and program names in the player sidebar now scroll automatically while preserving smooth virtual-list rendering.

Fixed channel identity for streams that share a path but use stable query parameters, while continuing to ignore rotating authentication values. Existing Favorites, reminders, history, autoplay choices, and channel preferences are migrated where possible.
Fixed Magic Remote conflicts between player edge panels and OSD controls, including unwanted panel activation and automatic OSD reveals.
Fixed player menus shifting the viewport and group hover actions firing before the sidebar finished opening.
Failed channel logos are now hidden reliably in both the Live list and player sidebar.
Fixed Assrt episode subtitle searches by using SxxEyy identifiers instead of the series year.

Expanded unit and end-to-end coverage for channel customization, Favorites management, player navigation, EPG filtering, startup ordering, reset behavior, and text scaling.
Refreshed README documentation and screenshots for channel customization, grouped player navigation, Settings, and remote-control mappings.
