Live TV Channels Settings - Sort and Auto Tag and hide

[pir8radio 1312]

Emby is getting closer to having useable iptv channel setup...    can you please add the following features.

after channels are assigned, named etc..     allow us to sort the list by TVG-ID aka "Guide data channel" (and/or channel title), then once sorted by alphabetical order (or whatever order we choose)  also have a one button re-channel  based on order..      for example, i have sorted all of my channels by TVG-ID even though the channel title may start with US or CA (us Canada)  the channels are still in alphabetical order based on network or TVG-ID.    then all channels are numbered 1-XXX automatically (re-channel based on order button)        Its horrible to do this by hand...    so what I'm requesting is sort list, and one button re-channel based on order.     see how i have the channels below. these were all in a crazy order, but i sorted by network name or TVG-ID then i re-channeled them 1-XXX  so its neat and tidy in emby.

 

 

Still typing lol,   

The second part, the ability to "HIDE" complete "tag" groups.  this may already be a feature, maybe i just don't know how to use it..   But i want to be able to hide all adult channels based on the default m3u group,    the group shows up (as shown in below screenshot) i just want to be able to hide full groups/tags from being displayed in emby at all.... This includes other countries channels etc.

 

And lastly, the list of "XML Guide Data"  what order is this even in?   can you make it so this is searchable?     my XMLTV data is in no particular order, so it's REALLY hard to find a channel i have to scroll and read every line to find my matching channel..    So having a small search box to search for a string or something would help ALOT!!

Got my vote.

these three things will make emby comparable to what  https://epg.best is doing for me..  I can cut that bill and use emby only, finally..     please consider emby team..

This would be a nice feature!

give me a glimmer of hope @Luke    can we seriously make these relatively minor changes?   Well the xmltv search is minor, the hide group/tag should be minor, the sort and re-number channels might be a bit more work.

So you want to be able to use a button to quickly set the default channel order? Yes we can do that.

As far as the groups import control, is that still something you need? I think that could go on the m3u setup screen.

I want to bring this back up! Trying to match channels to their respective guide data entries can be pretty painful - most of the time I know the channel code or something close to it, but I can't search that on the selection dropdown because key entries in this field just search left to right via numbers.

Ultimately, I end up needing to go hunt down the original guide data (like the local version of the DirecTV guide I have selected here via Emby Guide Data) to find the matching channel number, or risk spending an awful amount of time scrolling and rescrolling past 800+ channels on this dropdown to find the needle in the haystack.

Thanks for consideration
