v1.5.1 (2026-09-20)
Two reliability fixes. 🔴 Live Now was showing matches that had finished — four of the eight tiles at the top of it returned no streams at all, between 3.8 and 5.3 hours past kickoff, because a provider's "live" flag was believed forever and none of the six providers that set it ever takes it back. And a stream that answered once with a timeout or a 503 was dropped outright, even though the code already knew that answer said nothing about the stream. Both are now held to the evidence.
Bug Fixes
- catalog: stop trusting a provider's "live" status forever — it is now held to the same per-sport clock every other path already used, plus a 45 minute grace window for stoppage, extra time and delayed kickoffs. Measured against the 60 tiles showing as LIVE at the time of writing, 51 stay and 9 go, all nine football between 3.3 and 5.3 hours past kickoff (bf56fa2)
- streams: ask a second time before dropping a stream on a transient answer — a timeout, a dropped socket, 408, 429 or any 5xx is retried once after a short pause, so a source that blips no longer disappears from the list until the cache turns over. A 404 or a 403 is an answer about the stream and is still taken at its word (cc9801b)
