FLINTS TV / DEVELOPMENT LOG
NETWORK UPDATES
Actual engineering changes to this source build. No invented premieres, audience figures, or broadcast events.
48 FULL-DAY STATIONS
Consolidated the network into 48 curated rotations with at least 24 hours of unique titled programmes each. Separated WWF, WCW, and ECW; added dedicated videogame programming; removed source-less placeholders; added rotation-depth reporting; normalized duplicate Archive editions; and applied the supplied ticket logo. Network-named stations are unofficial curations with original-source attribution.
HOME VIDEO & GAME DIRECTORY
Removed after-hours guide dimming. Added the on-demand VHS movie shelf with filters, VCR controls, and local resume; an editable external game directory; and primary navigation for both. ARCADE LIVE remains not connected until emulator workers and shared media distribution are configured.
THE FIRST NETWORK BUILD
Initial application architecture and viewer experience.
NETWORK FOUNDATION
Created 26 original stations, custom SVG identities, the compact homepage guide, and the responsive six-hour electronic programming guide.
SYNCHRONIZED PLAYBACK
Implemented deterministic scheduling from a fixed UTC epoch, direct/native HLS playback, bounded retries, drift correction, and channel-surfing keyboard controls.
ARCHIVE & RIGHTS
Connected Internet Archive discovery and metadata ingestion. Added pending-by-default rights review, source verification, original-record links, and honest no-signal states.
NETWORK OPERATIONS
Added local and Supabase repositories, protected channel and playlist administration, moderation controls, Discord OAuth support, and database security policies.
VIEWER COMMUNITY
Added collapsed channel chat, authenticated message routes, reporting, spam limits, and explicit setup guidance when Supabase is not configured.
