dopeIPTV 0.6.2

A polish release: a collapsible sidebar, custom colours across the app, a
smarter M3U/EPG setup, and a batch of fixes — Picture-in-Picture no longer
quits the app, the colour picker no longer freezes, and the mini player keeps
its size after fullscreen.

Highlights: collapsible icon-rail sidebar · focus mode · custom colours for nav, categories, items & favourite folders · M3U auto-EPG · EPG grid marks timeshift channels & flags the playing one · click the logo to jump to what's playing.

Full release notes — click to expand

Sidebar & layout

  • Collapsible sidebar — fold it down to a slim icon rail with the button or Ctrl+B, or just drag its divider: inward collapses to the rail, outward expands it again. You keep the TV/Movies/Series navigation as icons and reclaim the width for the content — handy on small screens.
  • Solo category — a small disclosure arrow next to "Categories" collapses the list to only the active category (tidy for screenshots), without touching the navigation.
  • Focus mode — the button (or Ctrl+Shift+M) hides the whole content list for a rail-plus-player layout. A slim arrow strip on the player's edge brings the list straight back, so it can never get lost.
  • The content list now has a minimum width, so dragging a divider can't accidentally hide it.
  • Click the logo at the top of the sidebar to jump straight to whatever's playing — it switches section, opens "All", and selects the row.

Colours

  • Left-column entries (TV … History) can each be given their own text and background colour — right-click an entry.
  • Categories can be coloured too; a category's colour tints its own row in the left column.
  • Individual channels, movies and series can be given a personal text/background colour from their right-click menu.
  • Favourite folders can be coloured, and that colour applies to every favourite in the folder — a quick way to colour-code a whole group.
  • Every colour choice has a Reset, and colours persist between sessions.

M3U & EPG

  • Automatic EPG for M3U playlists — dopeIPTV now reads the url-tvg / x-tvg-url guide URL from a playlist's #EXTM3U header, so a plain M3U URL brings its programme guide with nothing extra to configure (an explicit per-playlist EPG URL still wins).
  • Gzipped XMLTV guides (.xml.gz) are now decompressed transparently.
  • The EPG timeline grid flags the channel you're watching (with a "Playing" button to jump back to it), marks channels that have catch-up with a ⏪, outlines the programme you pick, and offers "Play this programme" for a finished slot on a timeshift channel.

Convenience

  • Refresh playlist is now one right-click away on the TV / Movies / Series entries in the left column.

Fixes

  • Picture-in-Picture — pressing the window's close button while in PiP now drops back to the normal mini player instead of quitting the whole app.
  • Fullscreen / PiP — the panel widths are restored on the way out, so the mini player no longer comes back stretched wider than before.
  • Colour picker — no longer freezes the app on some Linux setups (it now always uses the in-app dialog).
  • Keep your place — opening Manage categories, or recolouring a category, no longer snaps the category list back to the top; your selection and scroll position stay put.
  • The version shown in About (and in the artifact filenames) is correct again.
