📋 LiveGardenTVPlus – Changelog (v2.2)

Ambiguous Channel reference – Removed using System.Threading.Channels conflict.

📋 LiveGardenTVPlus – Changelog (v2.1)

📁 Flexible JSON Import

Import Local JSON – New button Import Local in the playlist editor. Opens a mapping window that allows associating any JSON property with internal fields (name, stream_urls, logo_url, group, tvg_id, etc.).
- Auto‑detect properties using common heuristics.
- Save mapping for reuse with similar files.
- Preview first 5 channels before import.
Import JSON from URL – New button Import from URL in the playlist editor. Enter a remote (raw) JSON URL, download content and apply the same mapping procedure.

🔄 JSON Support in Main Loaders

"Load File" button (ex "Load M3U"): now filters both .m3u/.m3u8 and .json files. Auto‑detects format and directly imports JSON structured like the internal model (no mapping needed for compatible files).
"Load Online" button: now accepts both M3U and JSON URLs. Content is analysed and handled accordingly. Tooltip and button label updated to reflect dual support.

🖥️ Playlist Editor UI Improvements

Added Name column to the DataGrid (previously missing). Channel names are now visible immediately.
JSON group buttons renamed for clarity: Import Local, Import from URL, Export JSON.
All labels are fully translatable via LanguageManager.
Column sorting enabled for all columns, including template columns (URL primary, Logo, etc.).
Reset Order button added to restore original channel order after sorting.

🐛 Fixes & Technical Improvements

Fixed PrimaryUrl property change notification in ChannelJson. The main URL now appears correctly in the grid right after import.
Robust handling of null values for group, tvg_id, country, nanoid, logo_url during JSON import.
JSON import now supports:
- Root arrays [...]
- Objects containing arrays e.g., {"channels":[...]}
- Comma‑separated objects {...},{...} (automatic wrapping into array).
Import no longer appends to existing list – it replaces the current playlist.
Added debug output for easier troubleshooting.

🌐 New Translations

All new strings added to language files (e.g., Load File, Import Local, Import from URL, Export JSON, Enter playlist URL (M3U or JSON):, etc.).

📝 Notes for Users

JSON files imported from a remote URL must be publicly accessible and in raw format (e.g., raw.githubusercontent.com).
The mapping window is available only from the playlist editor; direct loading via Load File or Load Online assumes the JSON already matches the ChannelJson model (avoids manual mapping for already compatible streams).
Click any column header to sort; use Reset Order button to revert to original order.

Help

Loading an M3U playlist from a URL

Click the "Load Online" button on the main toolbar.
Enter the full URL of the remote M3U playlist.
The app will automatically detect the format and load the channels.

Example M3U URL (Italian channels): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OwnerPlugins/TivuStreamList/refs/heads/list/ios/playlist.m3u

Loading a JSON playlist from a URL

Click "Load Online" on the main toolbar.
Paste the URL pointing to a raw JSON file.
The app will recognise the JSON format and import the channels (structure must match the ChannelJson model).

Example JSON URL (Italian channels): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OwnerPlugins/famelack-data/main/tv/raw/countries/it.json

Importing local JSON files with mapping

Open the Playlist Editor (Edit Playlist button).
Click "Import Local" (JSON group).
Select a JSON file from your computer.
A mapping window will appear – use "Auto-detect" to suggest field mappings or manually assign JSON properties to internal fields.
Click "Import" to add the channels.

Importing JSON from a remote URL (with mapping)

In the Playlist Editor, click "Import from URL".
Enter the raw JSON URL.
Map the fields (auto‑detect helps) and import.

Supported JSON structures

Root array: [ {...}, {...} ]
Object containing an array: { "channels": [...] }
Comma‑separated objects: {...},{...} (automatically wrapped into an array)

Sorting and resetting order

Click any column header to sort channels by that field.
Click "Reset Order" (in the editor’s Action group) to revert to the original channel order.

🚀 LiveGardenTVPlus – Changelog (v2.0)

Popup alignment – Both the “Recent” and “Tools” popups are now properly aligned to the left side of their respective buttons.

🎨 Interface & Usability

Localization – All UI texts (EPG, logos, editor, settings, detail window, URL editor) translatable via LanguageManager. Added language change event handling to all windows.
Clickable Credits – Links to CORVOBOYS.ORG and LINUXSAT-SUPPORT.COM.

🚀 LiveGardenTVPlus – Changelog (v1.9)

🎨 Interface & Usability

Resizable Sidebar – Draggable GridSplitter between channel list and player.
