Hi everyone
I’ve used xTeVe to play channels on Plex for some time, but what really annoyed me is all my xTeVe channels from my xTeVe XML file would just be in one long list.
I’ve finally realised that this is the issue, despite xTeVe supporting channel categories, Plex essentially ignores them.
So, a solution is to use another guide. I got all excited and thought I had cracked it - all my channels appear in the correct categories - or so I thought.
It turns out, what I’m assuming is by design, that the channels will go into a category depending on what is being played at the time. This is driving me crazy. Is there a way to turn that off?
Here’s the use case. BBC One is a regular generic channel in the UK. They show all sorts.
A gardening show is on. The channel is in the correct “Entertainment” category. Then, the news comes on. The channel then moves to the “News” category. The news finishes, and a football match comes on - and it goes into, you guessed it, the Sports category.
Dedicated Sports channels are in the Sports category most of the time, but if they’re showing a documentary, even a sports documentary, it’ll go into Entertainment!
Please, is there a way I can turn this off and just have my categories static?
