Version: 1.1.4: Critical Bug Fixes, Performance Improvements & New EPG Features

- Fix: GO Pooler Overload Causing System Lockups: A critical programming issue in the GO language caused the pooler used by Xtream AI to overload, leading to system-wide lockups. This issue prevented user playlists from downloading, blocked logins on IPTV applications, stopped channel playback, and caused server disconnections. This bug has been fully resolved and was identified as the main root cause of several previously reported playback-related issues that negatively impacted the user experience.

- Fix: Incomplete Database Migration from Xtream Codes / XUI One: An issue where servers or already-created packages were sometimes skipped during database migration from Xtream Codes or XUI One has been fixed, ensuring full and consistent migrations.

New Features

• External EPG Support: It is now possible to add external EPG sources compatible with `.xmltv`, `.xml`, and `.xml.gz` files. Within the channel edit page, administrators can search and filter EPG sources using the following options: All Sources: Displays matches from the free Xtream AI EPG combined with all external EPG sources. Xtream AI Only: Filters only the free EPG provided by Xtream AI. Admin EPG Only: Shows only external EPG sources added by the administrator.
• Import Streams via File Upload: The Import Streams section now supports uploading `.m3u` and `.m3u8` files. All three import methods are now available: Import from a remote URL, Upload a local file, Copy and paste playlist content.

Improvements

• Streams Page Search Enhancement: It is now possible to choose whether to search streams by channel name or by source name directly from the streams page.
• Massive API & Playlist Speed Boost: The download speed of user playlists and the response time of the XC-compatible API have been improved by up to 10x for all users.
• Faster System Startup: Improved system boot time by reducing the number of seconds required to start Xtream AI using `/home/xtreamai/cli/start`.
• Automatic Ubuntu Kernel Optimization: The system now automatically configures the Ubuntu kernel based on the server’s hardware capabilities, maximizing network card performance and significantly reducing latency under high load.
• Faster Restart of Offline Channels: The time required for the system to restart offline channels has been considerably reduced.

Version: 1.1.3: Advanced Server Management, Remote Installation & Performance Enhancements

New Features

• New: Settings Search Functionality: A search feature has been added to the settings page to quickly filter any configuration based on its name or description, making it easier to find specific options.
• New: Automatic KB/s to MB/s Converter in VOD Speed Download: Within the VOD Speed Download options in the settings page, an automatic converter from KB/s to MB/s has been added for better readability and configuration.
• New: IP/DNS Rotation for Servers: Added functionality to rotate IPs/DNS of servers for enhanced load balancing and bypassing regional restrictions.
• New: DNS/IP Rotation System: Administrators can choose to rotate load balancer server access through rotation of: DNS only, IPs only, or a random mix of both. When a client wants to play a channel or VOD content, the system will randomly select a DNS/IP from that server before generating a valid playback token. This way, it is possible to avoid and overcome blocks in certain countries that monitor their citizens' connections.
• New: Replace Main IP with Public IPs: From the server edit page, you can now replace the main IP by choosing the public IPs configured on the server's network card.
• New: Server Ports Status in Dashboard: In the servers section of the dashboard, you can now see the status of HTTP and HTTPS ports for each server, indicating if they are open/closed or if any are being occupied by another service causing conflicts with Xtream AI.
• New: Automatic HTTPS Ports Configuration: HTTPS ports are now automatically configured when adding or removing new ports from the server edit page.
• New: Smart Redirection with Protocol Consistency: When redirecting a user from the main server to any load balancer server, a port that is open and working correctly with Xtream AI will always be chosen. Additionally, if the request was made over HTTPS, the consistency of using HTTPS will be maintained automatically in the load balancer server playback.
• New: Mass Delete VOD: Added functionality to mass delete VOD content from servers, ensuring that files are properly removed to prevent unnecessary space accumulation on the server.
• New: Remote Installation for Load Balancer Servers: Remote installation is now available for Load Balancer servers from the panel. Both installation options remain available:
  
  1. Traditional Mode: Execute our Python installer (obtained from https://xtreamai.net/client-area/) within the SSH of each server.
  
  2. Remote Mode: Once the main server is installed and logged into the panel, in the navigation bar within the Servers section, select the Add Load Balancer option. A form will appear asking for the server's IP, user, password, and SSH port to start the installation. Subsequently, SSH keys are stored in the main server's database, encrypted with a unique key different for each license.

Improvements

• Fix: Instant Stop Channels: Now stops all channels instantly.
• Fix: Dashboard Timezone Awareness: The dashboard now only shows events according to the user's browser timezone for accurate scheduling display.
• Fix: Import Channels Error Reporting: Channels import now shows which channels could not be imported, explaining the reason for each one to help troubleshoot import issues.
• Fix: Mass Edit Performance: Significantly improved the speed of applying changes when editing thousands of records simultaneously, reducing processing time.
• Fix: Offline Streams Analysis Speed: Improved speed in the analysis of offline streams quantity reporting for faster diagnostics.
• Fix: Increased Default VOD Download/Playback Values: Increased the default value for VOD content downloads/playback (can be increased/decreased in the settings page). Very low values with very high resolution content could cause freezing.
• Fix: VOD Download Limit Precision: Improved the accuracy of the maximum allowed download value for VOD content, avoiding black screens and playback issues.
• Fix: User-Reported Bug Fixes: Corrected all errors reported by our users to improve overall stability and user experience.

Version: 1.1.2: New features, improved stability, and multiple fixes across the platform

New Features

• New: System for Blocking Non-Existent Lines: A new protection system has been added to block non-existent line requests with advanced frequency controls and temporary bans, not only permanent bans.
  
  Administrators can now choose between Temporary Ban Mode or Permanent Ban Mode. Temporary bans automatically expire after the selected duration, preventing overload and false positives.
  
  You can configure the duration of temporary bans with preset options (1h, 6h, 12h, 24h) and also decide how many failed attempts are allowed before triggering a block (1, 2, 3, or 5 attempts). This system provides more control, flexibility, and protection against brute-force playlist probing.
• New: Support for PHP Script Streams Sources: PHP-based stream sources are now fully supported, expanding compatibility for providers using custom script-driven stream endpoints.
• New: Import Progress Bar for Channel/Movie Lists: A progress bar has been added when importing large channel or movie lists, giving administrators clear visibility of the import status. The import process can now also be aborted at any time.

Improvements

• Fix: DNS Server Name Not Saving: An issue where editing the DNS server name did not persist changes has been resolved.
• Fix: Settings Now Apply Instantly: Changes made in the Settings page now update immediately after a refresh, without requiring additional manual actions.
• Fix: Categories Not Showing When Printing Playlists: A bug preventing categories from appearing when exporting or printing playlists has been corrected.
• Fix: Bouquet Deletion Button: The delete button for bouquets, which previously failed to execute the action, now works correctly.
• Fix: Instant Sync When Adding or Removing Servers: Server changes now update instantly both on the dashboard and on the servers page, eliminating delays that previously caused confusion.
• Fix: Occasional 502 Errors When Playing M3U8 Streams: An issue that sometimes caused 502 errors and system instability when loading incompatible m3u8 manifests has been fixed. The system will now handle these situations gracefully without entering a panic state.

Version: 1.1.0: Full AI Automation for Sports, EPG, Recording & Channel Management

New Features

• Auto Match EPG with AI: Administrators can now enable fully automatic EPG assignment for all channels directly from the dashboard with a single switch. There is no longer a need to edit channels individually to add EPG; the AI will handle the search and matching process automatically.
• Sports Events (Live Matches): The admin dashboard now displays all live matches and scores for the current day, categorized by sports league. Additionally, when editing a channel, if the “Is An Event Channel?” option is selected, the AI will automatically schedule the match's start date and time.
• Events Recordings, Restream Recorded Event In Loop, and VOD Recordings: A new feature has been introduced for administrators, allowing automatic recording of events directly from the channel page. The event and its recording will start at the specified start time and end at the scheduled finish time. For global events, the AI will automatically determine the start and end times. Once the event has finished, the recording will be saved in the selected VOD category and bouquets. Additionally, it is possible to configure the system to replay the event recording on the same channel after the event ends.
• Tools: Events Scheduler with AI Allow the AI to create sports events for you. This new tool will automatically generate sports channels within the selected categories, bouquets, and servers using artificial intelligence, based on the sources and channels available to the administrator in their database. The AI will search for available events for today, then accurately look for the sources within the Admin’s database, and if those sources exist, it will create the channels.
  You can also set whether you want to record the matches so that, once finished, you can restream them in a loop, or if you want the channel to be deleted after a certain number of hours or days. The logos for these matches will also be generated with AI, showing the teams that will compete.
  If the administrator does not have the source for these channels, it is possible to set whether the channel should still be created, but without bouquets (so that it does not appear in client playlists). In this way, the administrator will already have the channels generated in their DB and can later assign the sources manually.
• Events Images with AI: In most cases, the AI will generate a unique, customized image representing the sports event associated with the channel. If the event is configured to be published as a movie, the AI will also create a cover and a backdrop image for the event.
• New Option to Migrate Logs on Setup Page: A new option has been added to choose whether to migrate logs from older IPTV panels. Selecting “No” will significantly reduce the database import time from other systems.
• Port Conflict Resolver: Before starting the Xtream AI service, the system now checks if any HTTP/HTTPS ports used by Nginx are already occupied by another process, which could prevent the system from launching. If a conflict is detected, the system will display a red warning message indicating which service is using the port and provide instructions on how to terminate it in order to start Xtream AI correctly.
• Block Playlist Downloads in Browser for Non-Restreamers: Prevents non-restreamer users from downloading playlists directly through the browser. They can still access and use the playlist via VLC or apps like SSIPTV/Smart TV, but direct downloads are blocked. This restriction does not affect API-based login options for users.
• Real-Time Table of Resellers/Admins Online: The admin dashboard now features a real-time table showing which resellers and other admins are currently online and working with the panel.
• Factory Reset: From the settings page, administrators can now perform a complete system reset, which includes changing the panel URL to ensure the privacy and security of the service.
• Added Support for Ubuntu 24: Xtream AI is now fully compatible with Ubuntu 24. The system has been tested and optimized to ensure stable performance, faster processing, and complete integration with all new dependencies and security libraries introduced in this version of Ubuntu.

Improvements

• Significantly Improved HTML Control Panel Performance: Latency in the admin and reseller panels has been drastically reduced, delivering much faster load times compared to previous versions.
• Redesigned Dashboard for Resellers/Admins: The dashboard has been redesigned with new widgets, improving the visual experience and providing more information and events from the system.
• Enhanced Add/Edit (Movie & Stream) Pages: On channel and movie edit pages, it is no longer necessary to refresh the page to see new categories and bouquets. It is also now possible to disable EPG search for individual channels.
• Massive Delete Channels/Movies Non-Blocking Async: The bulk deletion process for channels has been improved and is now handled as a background task, so it does not block the active session of the administrator or other logged-in users. When hundreds of channels are selected for deletion, their status in the streams table will update to "Deleting," clearly indicating the progress of the operation.
• Migration Time Improvements: The migration process from older systems such as Xtream Codes or XUI One has been significantly accelerated. A global progress percentage indicator has also been added to display the current migration status.
• Unlocked VPS Restriction: Our software can now be installed and used on any server, regardless of any modifications made by the datacenter.
• Fixed High CPU Usage with Virtual Servers: Previously, if the datacenter installed a modified version of Ubuntu 18/20/22 with certain packages, our system would push the CPU to 100%. This issue has been resolved starting with version 1.1.0.

Version: 1.0.2: Backup Tool & Open Documentation

Improvements

• Backup Rescue (CLI Tool): It is now possible to generate .SQL backups directly from the terminal using the /home/xtreamai/cli/backup command. Additionally, we have introduced support for automating these backups at custom time intervals and exporting them to Dropbox for secure external storage.
• Open Documentation: We have launched a public page at https://xtreamai.net/docs/ that provides detailed explanations about the functionality and main features of our software. It also includes a section with essential commands and a frequently asked questions (FAQ) area.

Version: 1.0.1: Migration Tool

Improvements

• Admin Rescue (CLI Tool): Previously, the tool was generating a URL with an invalid IP or domain. This issue has now been resolved.
• Migration Support: It is now possible to migrate from XUI One 1.5.5, Xtream Codes, and other similar platforms. The success rate ranges from 90% to 100%, and there is no need to re-encode existing VOD content, making the transition faster and more efficient.

Initial Release (Version: 1.0.0)

The first release of our software marks the beginning of a new era. This is more than a launch, it’s the moment where The Future of Streaming Starts Here:

Improvements

• Instant Channel Load with AI: If the channel has been active for several minutes, the system uses artificial intelligence to analyze both the channel’s behavior and the user’s connection. It then calculates and delivers a dynamic, optimized buffer, allowing the client to connect instantly and stay connected without interruptions, even during network fluctuations or brief speed drops.
• Turbo On-Demand Channels: This feature can be enabled from the channel edit page. It instantly downloads all live stream segments, allowing channels that are in standby mode to begin playback immediately as soon as a user accesses them.
• Content Duplication: You can reuse and distribute any content across multiple categories without consuming extra resources. A single channel or VOD can be assigned to multiple categories seamlessly.
• Chat System: A built-in communication system for resellers and administrators, allowing secure, direct messaging. Admins can choose to hide their identity to protect sensitive information.
• Integrated EPG Channels Generated with AI: Generates a dynamic electronic program guide based on live stream content using artificial intelligence.
• Mark Channels as an Event: When all sources of a channel marked as an event go offline, a default video will play to mask the outage, displaying a message (available in multiple languages) indicating that the event is about to begin. This default video can be replaced with any other from the settings.
• Playlist Encryption: Admins and resellers can encrypt the user's M3U8 playlist during generation. This prevents ISPs, bots, crawlers, or external tools from extracting client credentials. Additionally, connections between users and load balancer servers are already encrypted by default, making it nearly impossible for third parties to detect streaming content.
• Streaming Proxies: This feature allows you to add and manage your own HTTP-based proxy servers to mask the IP address of the main streaming server. It helps bypass regional blocks or restrictions by routing traffic through proxy layers.
• Quality Stream Selector: When a live stream includes multiple video quality tracks (SD, HD, FHD, UHD), you can define the default resolution users will receive, as long as that specific track exists.
• Primary Sources vs Secondary Sources: You can assign multiple stream sources to a single channel and categorize them as primary or secondary. The system always prioritizes primary sources. If one fails, it switches to the next primary source. Only if all primaries are unavailable will it fall back to secondary sources.
• Generate Screenshots of Every Streaming Source: To verify that all sources linked to a channel are working and displaying the correct content, you can enable automatic screenshot generation every 30 seconds. This function is designed to avoid sudden load increases, especially if you're restreaming from external services.
• Stream Health: Within the channel edit page and in the "Overview Streams" section, you can view the real-time health status of each stream. A color-coded system shows if the signal is unstable, helping admins detect and prevent potential viewing issues. If many sources appear in red, it's recommended to check the server's bandwidth usage.
• Channel/VOD Edit Preview: While editing any channel, movie, or episode, you’ll see an integrated player that loads and shows the actual content users are seeing in real-time.
• User Restrictions: Control how users can access your content. For example, restrict access only through IPTV apps and disable the ability to download the M3U8 playlist for added privacy. Alternatively, allow playback only on specific web domains if offering a free streaming service.
• Advanced Channel and VOD Import Tools: You can import an M3U8 playlist via URL or by pasting it into the editor. After clicking "Analyze Playlist," the system will automatically detect categories and organize the content into folders. You’ll be able to delete content individually or by category before importing. AI is also used to match titles with TMDB for better metadata recognition.
• Admin/Reseller Security: All potential attack vectors have been covered, including cookie hijacking, CSRF, XSS, and SQL injection. A PIN-based two-step login system is also in place, with only three allowed attempts. After failed attempts, the admin account is locked and can only be recovered via CLI access.
• TMDB Auto-Translation without an API Key: When adding movies or series, the system automatically fetches covers and descriptions from TMDB. It also allows you to translate this content into five available languages without needing an API key.
