Prevue Guide Channel - Editor Roadmap

Current editor functions:

• Upload videos
• Load / save raw JSON (guide.json)
• Import JSON (upload premade config)
• Download JSON backup

Next major upgrade:

• Add a new tab/section to build programming blocks without hand-editing JSON.

• Guide JSON (raw editor, import/export)
• Channels (add/edit channel number + name)
• Programming (UI builder for schedule blocks)
• Videos (upload + library list)
• (Optional) Import (XMLTV adapter later)

Goal: create entries inside

templateSchedule

easily.

Each block should allow:

• Channel (dropdown)
• Days (Mon–Sun checkboxes)
• Start time (HH:MM)
• Duration preset:
  • 30m, 60m, 90m, 120m
  • All Day (1440m)
• Title
• Description (optional)

On Save:

• Writes back to

  guide.json

  in the correct format.

• Duplicate block button
• Drag reorder blocks per channel/day
• Validation (no overlaps per channel)
• Preview mode (shows how the player will render)

When we add trailers/ads/bumpers folders:

• /prevue/videos/trailers/

• /prevue/videos/ads/

• /prevue/videos/bumpers/

Then add a “rotation recipe”:

• Trailer → Ad → Ad → Bumper → Weather → repeat

This can be controlled from JSON:

• recipe steps
• weather frequency
