I use plex more than i use live tv… full stop Id love it if you could tell plex to create Genre based channels So almost like a playlist , based on the content of your library. you would tell it to include tv shows , movies, ect , based on genres. “Create a comedy Channel” Plex then quees up some simpsons, family guy, a comedy movie, some more tv shows ect. instead of just watching your way through one series. ---
