v0.8.0
📺 New: IPTV live channels
RelayTV now brings live TV into the same remote. Add M3U playlists — or pick
from the built-in free-provider directory — then curate a My Channels list,
pin the ones you watch most to the top, and send a live channel straight to the
TV, all from the phone UI. IPTV is opt-in and disabled by default; enable it in
Settings → IPTV Integration. See
IPTV operations.
0.8.0 (2026-07-22)
Features
- add optional IPTV live channels — browse and play live TV alongside the rest of RelayTV, off by default and enabled in Settings (4516bae)
- build a curated My Channels home from added channels, with favorites pinned to the top and kept separate from the full catalog (4516bae)
- discover channels from custom M3U playlists (URL or pasted) and a built-in free-provider directory (iptv-org and Free-TV), adding the ones you want with a single tap (4516bae)
- manage IPTV sources — add, refresh, enable, disable, and remove owner-only playlists stored locally in /data/iptv.sqlite3 (4516bae)
- play a live channel now, play next, or add it to the queue, with per-channel availability checks (4516bae)
- present IPTV in the RelayTV glass design system across My Channels, Discover, and Sources on phone and desktop (4516bae)
Bug Fixes
- keep live IPTV playback active across short buffering and telemetry gaps instead of ending the session (4516bae)
- show a stable LIVE status for live channels instead of flashing rolling HLS segment positions and durations (4516bae)
Documentation
- add IPTV operator guidance and introduce live channels in the README with a My Channels phone mockup (4516bae)

Documentation
v0.6.1
0.6.1 (2026-07-18)
Bug Fixes
- a just-ended YouTube stream now plays from the start while YouTube is still processing the replay, instead of being skipped with a "processing" notice — playback begins within seconds, and once the background download completes, seeking and the full timeline switch on mid-playback (0a6664e)
- still-processing replays restart and auto-resume correctly, never reuse stale stream links, and fall back to the previous skip-with-notice behavior if the relay is disabled (RELAYTV_POSTLIVE_RELAY=0) or unavailable (0a6664e)
- wait for YouTube media URL availability (a84b015)
Documentation
- planning-era architecture and roadmap documents consolidated into permanent ARCHITECTURE.md and POSTLIVE_REPLAY.md operator docs (0a6664e)
v0.6.0
0.6.0 (2026-07-12)
Features
- support Emby servers with auto-detected branding, live configuration, capability-aware dashboards, and runtime-gated session restore (8487d3d)
Bug Fixes
- a just-ended YouTube stream now shows "YouTube is processing this live stream" and moves on to the next video instead of playing its final seconds and stopping — the replay plays normally once YouTube finishes processing it (dc884cd)
- live YouTube streams keep your cookies and bot-challenge settings when handed to mpv, so a stream that resolves no longer hits a bot check the moment playback starts (dc884cd)
v0.5.0
0.5.0 (2026-07-05)
Features
- a machine-checked operations test matrix — every supported host profile (x11, wayland, headless, Raspberry Pi, arm64, external mpv) now has pinned runtime decisions and an operator validation checklist (#26) (945656d)
- a top-to-bottom architecture overhaul — modular routes, a runtime config service, a playback transition service, a dedicated Jellyfin service, and an optional API token for locked-down networks (#21, #22, #23, #24, #25) (945656d)
- deno ships in the image as yt-dlp's JavaScript challenge runtime, so YouTube playback keeps working as YouTube changes things (945656d)
- yt-dlp now keeps itself up to date — flip the new "Keep yt-dlp up to date" toggle in Settings and RelayTV checks daily in the background (945656d)
Bug Fixes
- bot-checked YouTube videos are skipped with a friendly heads-up toast instead of being retried forever (945656d)
- closing a video glides back to the idle screen instead of flashing your desktop for a few seconds (945656d)
- device passthrough is now generated from what your host actually has, so the container starts cleanly on any box (945656d)
- live and just-ended YouTube streams now play instead of hanging on a black screen, and any stream that can't start shows a "Can't start stream" toast within 45 seconds instead of leaving you staring at nothing (7f7d722)
- Raspberry Pi 5 installs no longer trip over hardware decode nodes that only exist on the Pi 4 (945656d)
- your TV and RelayTV finally talk — turning the TV off or switching inputs pauses playback, and coming back resumes right where you left off (CEC) (945656d)
- YouTube bot checks now explain themselves everywhere — the warning toast also appears on direct plays and settings changes, and your current video keeps playing instead of dropping to a black screen (7f7d722)
