September 2025 delivered a focused set of DVR reliability improvements, bulk admin tooling, and a modular plugin framework, driving both user value and maintainability. Key features include a regex-based Bulk Channel Name Update with a preview and a new bulk API endpoint, and a comprehensive DVR refresh that adds series recording rules, enhanced file path templating, improved playback/metadata handling, robust task scheduling, and support for recurring recordings (UI and backend). Comskip integration was implemented to automatically detect and remove commercials from recordings, including API, background processing, UI, and migrations. The new Plugin System enables discovery, loading, management, and imports/deletes with safer defaults and improved startup discovery. Notable bug fixes include DVR deletion cleanup that releases active client connections and a fix for recurring recording streams ending due to edge-case date/time validation.
