I have an IPTV subscription who provides me with an EPG that has no categories, I have written a python proxy to their service, that parses their streams, categories and programmes EPG and creates an XMLTV guide for Plex. The proxy presents itself as a Homerun tuner, and is working great apart from Category support.
They map channels to categories, and so in the proxy, I then tag any program entry on a channel with the category of the stream. The problem is Plex doesn’t seem to use them, instead everything is being lumped in to movies.
What support for XMLTV categories exists in Plex? An entry of the XMLTV I’m generating looks like this
