dopeIPTV 0.6.3

A stability-and-polish release: keyboard shortcuts across the player and
EPG guide, a calmer progress indicator, and a batch of playback
stability
fixes — live streams reconnect on their own, a frozen picture
recovers, and moving the window no longer drops the stream. Behind the scenes
the app is now Flathub-ready (fully offline build) with fresh store
screenshots.

Highlights: keyboard shortcuts (player + EPG) · steadier progress indicator · auto-reconnect & stall recovery for live streams · no stream drop when moving the window · Flathub offline packaging.

Keyboard shortcuts

  • Global: Ctrl+G opens the EPG guide, Ctrl+B toggles the sidebar rail, Ctrl+Shift+M toggles focus mode.
  • While the player is up: M mute, P Picture-in-Picture, R record, I stream stats, / zap channels, / nudge the volume. Shortcuts stand down while you're typing in a search box.
  • In the EPG grid: N jumps to now, P to the playing channel, Enter plays the selected programme.
  • The full list lives in the Keyboard shortcuts section of the README.

Progress indicator

  • The loading strip is now a steady indeterminate indicator instead of a percentage bar that could stick at "100%" or hang around after a load finished.
  • A watchdog clears it automatically if a background job never reports back, so it can't get stuck on screen.

Playback stability

  • Auto-reconnect — a live stream that drops on a network hiccup now retries quietly and keeps playing, instead of failing with "loading failed".
  • Stall recovery — a watchdog notices a frozen picture (mpv idling mid-stream) and recovers it.
  • No drop on window move — moving or reparenting the window (e.g. dragging between monitors) no longer tears down and rebuilds the video, which previously showed up as a stream failure.
  • Longer network timeouts and mpv reconnect options for flakier providers.

Packaging

  • Flathub-ready — the Flatpak manifest now builds fully offline from pinned, vendored Python wheels (only the running app needs the network, for streaming), plus a submission guide in packaging/flatpak/FLATHUB.md.
  • Fresh store screenshots and an updated capture guide.
