Robsta86 1 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) I would really love to see this feature being implemented as my IPTV provider provides M3U files with group titles. First, like many of you I was thinking that an option to select a group and then list the channels would be amazing and would make my Emby experience complete. I must admit that I even like @@softworkz suggestion to use tags even more: The whole point of having TAGs instead of a fixed grouping, is that this allows multiple parallel ways to categorize (what most of you mean by "group") channels. This includes: Automatic generation of TAGs from M3U groups (IPTV) Automatic generation of TAGs from channel genres (ATSC/DVB) Automatic generation of TAGs from EPG item genres Automatic generation of TAGs depending on channel source type (IPTV, SAT, Cable, Terrestrial) Automatic generation of other TAGs like 'Most Viewed', 'Having EPG', etc. Manual creation and assignment of custom tags The whole point of this is to have a single system that can serve multiple purposes. First of all because it can be used for different sources, like iptv and/or satelite. Second it will make it even easier to find just the content that you like, e.g.: filter on a country first and then filter on a tag like news, weather, football or whatever is being extracted from the epg source. Then you won't have to think about what tags to give to your channels up front, as the channel can have a tag "sports" or "news" based on what is planned within the timeslot the EPG guide is showing :-) Really hope to see this functionality implemented soon. If you need any help testing I'd love to help out Keep up the good work! Edited March 26, 2020 by Robsta86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techz 0 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) DIdnt see this thread . Added screenshots from other IPTV https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/87157-livetv-iptv-folders/ 10k channels is a pain to scroll... . Happy to help out perhaps, is there any api documentation on accessing / creating Collections, maybe a plugin script that runs through m3u file creates a collection from group-title and stores the channel?

Asator 2 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 +1 I also _pray_ for the ability to remove or even disable automatic channel mapping from EPG. The automatic channel mapping makes my life hell when trying to assign the correct channels through SchedulesDirect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
