### 📋 Channel Info Window (Context Menu)

- **New "Info" menu item** – Added to the right‑click context menu on channels in the main TreeView.

- **Channel Info window** – Displays all channel fields in an editable window:

- Name, URL, Group, TvgId, Favorite, Radio, Status.

- Logo preview with live update (URL → image preview).

- **Live editing** – Modify any field, click **Save** to update the channel in the current playlist.

- **Refresh after save** – TreeView and favorites are automatically refreshed. 

### 🖱️ Right‑Click Selection without Playback 

- **Right‑click now selects the channel** without starting the stream.

- EPG info is still updated, but playback is skipped.

- Context menu appears without interrupting the current stream. 

### 📁 Sidebar Visibility 

- **Sidebar hidden at startup** – The channel list (left panel) is now hidden when the application starts.

- **Auto‑show on playlist load** – When a playlist is loaded (M3U or JSON), the sidebar automatically opens.

- **Toggle button** – The existing "Show List / Hide List" button works as before (manual toggle). 

### 🎨 TV / Radio Background 

- **Player background** – When no stream is playing or for radio channels:

- `tv.png` is shown for TV channels.

- `radio.png` is shown for radio channels.

- **Auto‑detection** – Radio channels are detected based on URL extensions (`.mp3`, `.aac`, `.ogg`, `.m4a`, `.wma`, `.flac`, `.opus`, `.wav`) and keywords (Radio, FM, Audio).

- **Background hides when video starts** – For TV channels, the background is hidden when the stream begins. 

### 🔧 Language Manager Improvements 

- **Separator support** – Fixed `LanguageManager` to correctly parse `.lng` files using `::` (double colon) as the primary separator, with fallback to `:` and `=`.

- **Keys with spaces** – Keys containing spaces (e.g., `"Language: "`) are now correctly matched and translated. 

### 🌐 New Translations 

All new strings for the Channel Info window and right‑click menu are fully localizable via `LanguageManager`. 

### 🐛 Bug Fixes 

**Fixed:**

- Images not loading in About window (paypal.png, kofi.png)

- Recent popup not opening correctly on hover

- Menu File not closing after selecting a recent file

- Playlist not refreshing after closing playlist

- EPG combo not setting default value

- right‑click selection – no longer starts playback accidentally.

- `LanguageManager` parsing for `.lng` files with `::` separator.

- sidebar visibility – now shows correctly after playlist load (both JSON and M3U).
