v0.2.10

What's changed

New aliases

Added 56 verified channel-name aliases for matching real SXM lineup renames (each confirmed still current against the live dataset before adding, not added speculatively from a stale issue):

• 37 X Play-by-Play NNN → X NNN suffix strips (ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC, Sports)
• 2 trademark-symbol drops (MLB/NHL Network Radio™ → without the ™)
• A few dataset typos/abbreviations (Classic Rewind Just Music, Ozzy's Boneyard Deep Cuts, Sebastian Maniscalco's Comedy Radio)
• The Weather Channel → FOX Weather (a real rebrand)

Bug fixes

• Wrong hardcoded alias direction — pro wrestling nation24/7 pointed to the wrong (no-longer-current) official name; the dataset dropped the space, the alias still assumed the spaced form was official. Fixed.

Deliberately did not alias the three Limited Edition N renames flagged in an earlier lineup-change issue — those are SXM's rotating guest-content slots, not stable channel identities, and two of the three target names have already rotated away again since being flagged.

v0.2.09

What's changed

Bug fixes

• Absolute mode placing unmatched channels ahead of real matches — unmatched and duplicate-match-loser channels were filling free slots from the bottom of the reserved block instead of after the highest real match. Since SXM's own numbering starts at station 2, those low slots are never claimed by a real station — this bug backfilled them with unrelated content instead of the end where it belongs. Found via a real user report and confirmed fixed by reproducing the exact scenario before shipping.
• Wrong hardcoded channel alias — removed "smokey's holidaysoultown" -> "smokey's soul town". Its own comment claimed the holiday channel had been renamed to the regular one; a real user confirmed via their own provider these are genuinely distinct channels, and the forced alias caused a real duplicate-collision once the user corrected their channel's name to be distinct.

New logos

• Added official logos for Little Miss Twain Radio and The Beach Boys Channel (both previously missing with no fallback source available)

v0.2.08

What's changed

Bug fixes

• SiriusXM EPG source never auto-refreshing — refresh_interval was left at 0 (disabled) on creation, so Dispatcharr's Celery Beat task was never enabled. Now set to 24 hours on create, with a one-time backfill for existing installs.
• Prefixed channel names failed to re-match on subsequent runs — a channel already renamed to "036 Alt Nation" by a previous Sort no longer matched "Alt Nation" in the SXM dataset, causing it to drift to the unmatched tail every time Sort, Rename Channels, or Assign Logos ran again. Matching now strips any existing prefix first, across every affected action.
• Duplicate station matches silently collided — two channels matching the same real station number used to receive the identical channel number with no warning. Duplicate matches are now detected, the second is placed in the fill pool instead of colliding, and both are named in the result message.

New features

• Force Category (Series Mode) and Synthesize Episode Numbers From Air Date on EPG Transform — writes categories/season/episode into program data so Dispatcharr's own XMLTV output includes <category> and <episode-num> tags, letting Plex treat same-titled programs as distinct recordable episodes instead of one movie (#17)
• Absolute SXM channel numbering on Sort — channel number = Sort Start Number + real SXM station number, preserving lineup gaps instead of packing channels sequentially. Only offsets confirmed API-matched channels — sport-block and name-guessed matches are never treated as real station numbers. Requires an explicit Numbering Block Size (no silent default) — verified against a real 431-channel provider lineup (99.8% of channels ≤ 999)
• Station-number name prefix (zero-padded or plain), applied whenever Sort runs

CI / Infrastructure

• High-confidence SiriusXM lineup renames (same station number, name changed) now auto-write to channel_aliases.json instead of sitting unactioned in weekly issues
• Orphaned logo cleanup is now targeted at exactly the channels a run's diff confirms were removed, never a blanket sweep
• The weekly lineup-change issue now reports real post-cache logo status instead of static boilerplate

v0.2.07

What's changed

Bug fixes

• Fix SiriusXM Fill EPG always failing with "unclosed token" — The XML sanity check was truncating the XMLTV file to 512 bytes, which always produced an "unclosed token" parse error for valid files. This incorrectly triggered a retry that also failed. The check now correctly allows "unclosed token" (expected from truncation) and only retries on errors that indicate a genuinely corrupt or non-XML response (e.g. HTML 404 page). The retry path itself also applies the same guard so a successful retry on valid XML no longer falsely reports failure.

Improvements

• 504 Gateway Timeout warning — Fill SiriusXM EPG downloads ~200 MB of data and can take 60–90+ seconds. If your reverse proxy has a short timeout, the browser may show a 504 before the response arrives — the backend continues running and the fill completes. The action description in Dispatcharr now explains this, and the README FAQ has a new entry on the topic.

CI / Infrastructure

• scripts/cache_logos.py now gracefully handles missing _workshop/sxm_logos_raw.json in CI environments (already shipped in the previous commit)

v0.2.06

What changed

• Channel cache: switched from SiriusXM edge-gateway API (broken by passkey enrollment) to rebrowser/siriusxm-dataset public CSV — no credentials required, updates daily
• Alias normalization: channel_aliases.json expanded with ~25 Rebrowser name variants → canonical names; curly-quote (U+2019) cleanup; dedup by channel number
• Unmatched channel log: channel names that fail SiriusXM matching are now persisted in plugin settings and shown in the Status action — copy and share to grow the alias list over time
• Change detection: detect_channel_changes.py adds number-based rename matching so renumbered channels aren't reported as new+removed
• Code cleanup: stale _CHANNEL_ALIASES entries removed (all pointed to old API keys), XML control-character regex moved to module level, _append_unmatched_log wrapped in try/except

v0.2.05

What's new

Bug fixes

• Fresh install XMLTV source type bug — EPGeditARR: SiriusXM source was created as standard type instead of xmltv, causing Dispatcharr to fail parsing it with no error message. Required manual API intervention to fix. This release creates it correctly as xmltv and auto-migrates any existing wrong-type sources.
• Utah Hockey Club team name corrected in sport sort order (was incorrectly 'Utah Mammoth', their AHL affiliate)

Improvements

• XMLTV character sanitization — strips XML 1.0-invalid control characters from the downloaded XMLTV before parsing, and from the generated XMLTV at write time. Retry on parse failure handles CDN mid-write race conditions.
• Sport team sort order — _SPORT_TEAM_SORT now uses real SiriusXM app-stream channel numbers (NFL 800–831, MLB 840–869, NBA 880–909, NHL 920–951), so sort order mirrors the official SiriusXM app lineup
• Phase 1 iterparse memory fix — programme elements are now cleared immediately during the channel-only pass, preventing ~246k elements from accumulating in memory

v0.2.04

What's fixed

Two root causes of Docker OOM crashes and uWSGI memory pressure:

1. Signal handler running Fill EPG N times per refresh cycle

The EPG refresh signal fired _action_sxm_fill_epg once per EPG source. With 4+ sources refreshing simultaneously, this spawned N parallel fill runs — each allocating 200–300 MB — causing OOM and Docker daemon crashes. Fixed with a 4-hour cooldown (SXM_FILL_COOLDOWN_SECS) so the fill runs at most once per cooldown window regardless of how many sources trigger the signal.

2. ET.fromstring building full 246k-programme XML DOM in memory

ET.fromstring(xml_bytes) allocated the entire XML DOM (~200 MB) in one shot. In uWSGI without max-requests, Python's allocator holds that heap permanently in the worker process — it never returns to the OS. Replaced with ET.iterparse + elem.clear() streaming — peak XML memory is now ~5 MB and is released when the function exits.

Also fixed: removed prefetch_related("programs") from _do_transform_source — switched to .iterator(chunk_size=) queries to avoid loading all ProgramData into a Python list at once.

Stress test results

4 consecutive Fill & Sort runs on a live instance after a clean Docker restart — uWSGI memory stayed flat throughout. 733 channels, 246,205 programs each run.

Upgrade

Replace your existing plugin zip with epgeditarr-v0.2.04.zip via Plugins → Import Plugin → overwrite.

v0.2.03

v0.2.03 — SiriusXM Fill is now fully self-contained

What changed

SiriusXM Fill EPG now does everything in a single button press:

1. Creates the EPGeditARR: SiriusXM Standard EPG source in Dispatcharr (if it doesn't already exist)
2. Downloads siriusxm_epg.xml from GitHub Pages directly
3. Populates EPGData + ProgramData records into Dispatcharr itself
4. Fuzzy-matches your SiriusXM channels to that data and assigns EPG

No separate EPG refresh step in Dispatcharr required.

Channel name cleanup

Channel names in the XMLTV no longer contain Wikipedia artifacts like (formerly 40s on 4). The SiriusXM API migration (v0.2.02) provided clean official names and the XMLTV pipeline was rebuilt automatically.

Other fixes

• Scan no longer counts SiriusXM-assigned channels as 'no EPG'
• Status shows SiriusXM EPG source entry counts and channel assignment count
• Channels already on the SiriusXM source are re-assignable on subsequent Fill runs
• Migrates channels from legacy EPGeditARR: Sports and EPGeditARR: Fill sources automatically on fill run

v0.2.01

What's New

SiriusXM Fill EPG now includes sports intelligence with automatic failover.

Previously, the Fill and Sports EPG buttons were separate. They are now merged into a single SiriusXM Fill button that does everything:

• Fetches the live sports schedule (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Soccer, NASCAR, PGA Tour, IndyCar, Formula 1)
• Sports channels get smart blocks: Upcoming → LIVE → Post-game
• All other channels get repeating fill with real SiriusXM descriptions
• If the sports schedule is unavailable, automatically falls back to repeating fill for all channels — no error, no empty guide

Other Changes

• Expanded logo coverage: XMLTV icon tags now cover ~460 channels (up from 270), including team and college logos matched automatically from the logos/ directory
• Community XMLTV feed renamed: siriusxm_epg.xml (was siriusxm_sports_epg.xml) — update any bookmarks
  • Public URL: https://jstevenscl.github.io/epgeditarr/siriusxm_epg.xml
• Migration: channels previously assigned to the old "EPGeditARR: Sports" source are automatically reset on the next Fill run

Upgrade Notes

If you had the separate Sports EPG button installed (from a pre-release build), that action has been removed. Use the standard SiriusXM Fill button going forward.

v0.2.00

README rewrite, updated screenshots, plugin logo. Self-hosted SiriusXM logo cache (270/270). Rename Channels, Assign Logos, Fill Sort & Logos actions. Switches to zero-padded patch versioning (0.2.00, 0.2.01…) to fix Dispatcharr update detection.
