User Editable Categories for Programs to Be Displayed as Sports/Etc

[fridgefins 5]

Hello,

 

I've noticed that if you are providing your own XMLTV source, you can edit and add categories that you want to be displayed as sports/news/movies.  This is very helpful, particularly when managing EPG in foreign languages.

 

However, when using Emby Guide Data as the source, no such option exists.  While the guide data is very good, and usually the best choice, there can be inconsistencies.  For example, Emby's Guide Data for the UK considers MMA a sport.

 

While in the US, despite being identically categorized as "Mixed martial arts," Emby's Guide Data does not consider it a sport.

 

Being able to add to the string of what should be displayed as a sport when using Emby Guide Data would allow the user to quickly rectify this while still taking advantage of the premiere perk of using Emby's fantastic built in guide data.

Hi, yes it makes sense. I can see how this would be valuable with any type of guide data source.
