Isnt it about time that filtering the guide by categories was added? Being able to narrow down the guide to certain types of programme/channel is a basic function of most modern guides and is sorely missing from Plex LiveTV. I know we have “All Channels” and “HD Channels” option but it could really do with others such as Sports, News, Films, Documentaries etc

Agreed, I spent quite a while trying to figure out what I was doing wrong since these sort of categories are in most other systems. I would have thought it’s already in the EPG data but right now I’d even settle for manually being able to set categories
