v2.5.6

Added

• Redesigned EPG Editor - The EPG Editor has been overhauled with a cleaner layout for easier use, and EPG matching has been reworked to be more reliable.
• Lock a channel to a specific EPG source - Selecting a guide in the EPG Editor locks that channel to that feed, so a higher-priority global source can't replace your choice on the next sync. Channels filled by a Global EPG are locked the same way. A new 🔒 Matches tab lists every locked match in a playlist. Recommended to rematch your channels if you matched before and it wasn't saving.
• Open EPG Editor directly from Live TV - A pencil button in the EPG toolbar opens the editor scoped to the category you're currently viewing. Clicking a channel jumps straight into that channel's editor.
• Match EPG by your renamed channel name - If you've renamed a channel, it can now match its guide using your custom name instead of the provider's original. This prevents a channel that was matching incorrectly by its raw provider name from continuing to pull in the wrong guide. A TVG-ID override or a feed lock still takes priority.
• Smarter automatic EPG matching - Automatch Missing can now ignore common provider decorations like |DE|, HD, FHD, HEVC, RAW, or BACKUP before matching (with support for adding your own words), so Xtream and Stalker channels match without needing to be renamed. When a channel name could match more than one EPG entry, it's listed for you to pick from instead of being guessed.
• Stalker server VOD search - Search for VODs through the source server without loading categories first, enable in Settings → Source → Stalker Preferences.
• Reconnect strategy for recordings - How recordings handle a dropped connection can now be configured under Settings → DVR → Stream Compatibility. Auto (default) recovers from dropped connections, stalls, and network errors. Aggressive also retries when a stream ends unexpectedly, for providers that need it. Off disables reconnecting entirely for servers that reject retry attempts.
• Advanced FFmpeg arguments for recordings - Custom input and output FFmpeg arguments can be added for all recordings under Settings → DVR → Stream Compatibility, useful for providers that require specific flags such as custom headers, a larger probe size, or a bitstream filter. Arguments that would conflict with the recorder are rejected before saving.
• Media info badges for Xtream movies and series - Movie and series detail pages now display stream resolution, video and audio codec, bitrate, audio channels, container format, and estimated file size as badges. Details already reported by the provider are used as-is; file size is only fetched over the network when the provider didn't include it.
• Rename channels and categories in place - Manage Channels and Manage Categories now include a pencil button (or double-click the name) to rename an entry without opening a separate dialog. One click restores the original source name.
• Delete all failover groups - The Failover Groups dialog now has a Delete All button with a confirmation step for quickly clearing all failover groups at once.
• Failed automatic VOD sync notifications - When an automatic VOD refresh fails due to bad credentials, an HTTP error, or a provider being unavailable, a notification toast now appears naming the source and the error.
• Backups now include Sports and EPG match data - Export files now include Sports team channel links, Sports favorites, EPG feed locks, the "match by my channel name" flag, and the latest UI layout keys.

Fixed

• Recordings failing on some HLS channels - Channels using non-standard segment extensions (such as .css or .webp) no longer trigger a reconnect at the end of every segment, which was flooding the provider and causing HTTP 403 rate-limit errors.
• Recording duration limit reported as ignored - The duration limit is

v2.5.5

Fixed

• App icon disappearing - Fixed a bug where app icon would disappear, showing a blank default icon.
• Stalker VOD Categories not loading past 1st 14 items - Fixed a bug where only the first 14 items where shown

v2.5.4

Added

• Option to launch on Windows startup - ynoTV can now start automatically when you sign in to Windows, optionally launching minimized to the system tray. Enable under Settings → UI.
• Stalker VOD preferences - How VOD Movies and Series categories load for Stalker/MAC portals can now be tuned under Settings → Sources → Stalker Preferences. Options include a page fetch concurrency setting and a category cache timer.
• Quick-link current channel to a Sports team - The currently playing channel can be linked to a Sports team directly from the Sports sidebar without leaving the player.
• Widgets and VOD lists remembering scroll position - Widgets, VOD categories, and the Local tab now restore your scroll position when returning to them, keep the active channel in view
• Dates in View All Programs - The All tab now displays each program's date with day headers, making it easier to browse catch-up content across multiple days.
• Widget scaling up to 400% - Widget and overlay scale can now be set up to 400%, up from the previous 200% maximum. The settings preview caps at 250% to keep the panel readable.
• DVR padding changed to number input - The Schedule Recording dialog now uses minute and second input fields instead of sliders, so any padding value can be typed in directly.
• Source names in the channel list - Categories that contain channels from more than one playlist can now display each channel's source name alongside a source count.

Fixed

• Jellyfin incorrectly trying to transcode - The app now advertises full playback capabilities to the Jellyfin server, allowing MKV, HEVC, DTS, and other formats to play directly and preventing the format error pop-up.
• EPG and logos missing for some channels - M3U attributes with non-standard casing (e.g. tvg-ID, TVG-ID, tvg-Id) or spacing are now parsed correctly, so those channels properly match their EPG guide data and logos.
• Sports favorites linking to the wrong team - Team favorites are now matched with league awareness. A repair prompt will appear for any saved favorites that no longer match a valid team, instead of silently skipping them.
• Unavailable local files showing in playlists and favorites - Local movies and episodes whose files are missing, on a disconnected drive, or no longer in a scanned folder are now hidden from playlists and favorites automatically.

v2.5.3

Added

• Jellyfin Integration (Beta) - Uses the WebUI, playback hands off to the embedded player with full player controls. Opt in under Settings → Jellyfin. Currently does not support controller/phone remote.
• View All Programs in three-column EPG - The View All Programs panel has been added to the three-column EPG layout for browsing past and future programs and accessing catch-up content.
• Multiple proxy profiles - Multiple SOCKS5 proxy profiles can now be saved and switched between under Settings → Sources → Proxies.
• Failover group list sorting - Failover groups can be sorted by name, creation date, or channel count in ascending or descending order. The selected sort order is remembered between sessions.
• Updated app icon - The app icon has been updated. Alternative icons, including the previous one, can be selected under Settings → About.
• Auto-sort favorites alphabetically - Favorites can be automatically kept sorted A–Z instead of using manual ordering. Enable under Settings → Live TV → Favorites.
• Catch-up channel filter - A filter button in the Live TV channel list header shows only channels with catch-up support. Enable under Settings → Navigation.
• Quick probe - Right-click any channel in the EPG to run a quick stream probe without opening the full probe tool for average bitrate metadata, autoenables bitrate badges on use.
• Probe and Failover access from Favorites and custom groups - The channel probe can now be launched scoped to the current Favorites or custom group view. The Failover overlay also includes a new button to open the Failover group manager directly.
• Bulk import for MAC portals - MAC/Stalker portal credentials can now be bulk-imported from a pasted list.
• AFL support - The Australian Football League has been added to Sports leagues, team pages, and stream matching.
• Local library quick cleanup - A Clean Unavailable action scans local library folders and removes entries whose files or folders no longer exist. Missing files can also be removed individually from the Local view.
• Duplicate detection when adding to playlists - Adding local movies or episodes that are already in a playlist now prompts for confirmation before creating duplicates
• Local metadata language - TMDb metadata lookups for the local library will now use the language selected in Metadata settings.
• Preserved scroll position in Custom Groups Manager - Moving categories in the Custom Groups Manager no longer resets the list scroll position.

Fixed

• Certain Settings not persisting after restart - Resolved an issue where certain settings were not saved correctly and would revert on restart.
• Category strip rendering transparently - The category strip no longer appears see-through in certain themes.
• Three-column EPG layout in UI v1/v2 - The three-column layout now renders correctly in the v1 and v2 UI designs, with uniform program cards and full-width program details.
• Auto-hide sidebar flashing on hide - The auto-hide category sidebar no longer flashes when transitioning to the hidden state.
• Sidebar background bleeding content - The sidebar now uses a solid background, preventing underlying content from showing through when using optimizations.
