Plex Devs, I need help, is there any documentation on how Plex decodes XMLTV files?

I have been trying different tags and such over an over, no matter what I do I get things flagged as series in my movies. I get movies (which are tagged as movies) showing up in my shows.

I’ve deleted and recreated my DVR just in case I might have corrupted my database.

So, can you please publish how you sort your News, Sports, Movies, and Shows according to the XMLTV guide. Because this is DRIVING ME CRAZY and people are complaining that stuff is not showing up right.

Please, Please, for the sake of all things which are good and just. Please publish how you use the XMLTV category nodes to populate the sections.

:sob:

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Plex and documentation? Sorry man, that’s not gonna happen. They haven’t even documented a single endpoint for their API.

If you have a Schedules Direct subscription, you can use EPG123 to create an XMLTV file for your guide. It should get Plex to properly tag episodes as series and not movies.

Any news on this? Also finding the categories from xmltv are not being picked up in Plex correctly…it thinks everything is a movie. Can we get a plex response on how this should be set up?
