### Overview This release introduces the new EPG fallback system and fixes tuner refresh behavior to ensure guide data always updates instantly. Also includes a redesigned login page and minor UI polish. ### Major Additions - **EPG Fallback System** - Added `apply_epg_fallback()` helper to ensure all channels display “No Guide Data Available” when XMLTV entries are missing. - Automatically applied after login and when switching tuners. - **Invalid XML Detection** - Added logic to skip `.m3u` or `.m3u8` files used as XML sources to prevent XML parse errors. - When detected, the guide displays fallback placeholders instead of failing silently. - **Guide UI Enhancements** - Updated `guide.html` to render placeholder boxes for channels with missing EPG. - Added `.program.no-guide` CSS for visual distinction (gray/italic text, dashed border). - Template logic improved to handle empty or malformed EPG lists gracefully. - **Tuner Refresh Fix** - Fixed bug where tuner changes required user logout to update the guide. - Now refreshes `cached_channels` and `cached_epg` immediately after tuner switch. - **Login Page Redesign** - Centered floating login box with 3D shadow and right-aligned RetroIPTVGuide logo. - Clean visual alignment consistent with new theming. ### Other Improvements - Added internal debug logging for channel vs. EPG key alignment. - Codebase refactored for readability around EPG parsing and fallback integration. - Updated documentation and version constants (`APP_VERSION = v3.0.1`, `APP_RELEASE_DATE = 2025-10-07`). ### Documentation - Updated CHANGELOG.md with v3.0.1 details. - Updated ROADMAP.md to reflect fallback feature completion. - Updated README.md version badge and new guide feature details. ### Version v3.0.1 (Release Date: 2025-10-07)
Bumped version to correct 3.0.1 and added Installation complete statement back on linux install
