NodeCast is a companion to the nodecast-tv server, not standalone
The first cut of the native TV app parsed M3U playlists itself and needed no backend. We decided to make it a thin companion instead: the TV app is the only client of a nodecast-tv server, which owns sources, channels, EPG, favorites and users. Rationale: those features already exist server-side and would otherwise be rebuilt in the app; the household already runs the server. Consequence: the app is not usable without a reachable nodecast-tv instance. The app-side M3U parser is deliberately kept as a generic-source fallback so M3U/XMLTV servers like ErsatzTV can be added later without rearchitecting.
