Filter by tag option on live tv guide

[jkoreklaw 2]

I’m having a hard time on the Apple TV app finding where I can select specific tags to only display in the live tv guide section rather than all 30k+ channels that are included with my M3U which would cause endless scrolling.
 

It works great on the Roku Emby client app, as well as on many of my smart tv Emby clients.
 

Attached  is an example of the screen that I am trying to accomplish in setting up on my Apple TV client taken from the iPhone Emby client app.

I just can’t find a way to get the options for the Apple TV client set up to come up.

Another nice feature that I also don’t see on the Apple TV client is the option to view tv channels by list, banner, logo or size like I can in other Emby clients. 

Are these features already available on the Apple TV Client software app?

If so, where can I configure this?

If not, can Emby look into possibly adding these features to the Apple TV client app on future updates?

Thanks in advance

Hi Luke, any timeframe on when these things might come to the Emby Apple TV app?

@LukeI too would love to see this feature in the Apple TV app.  It works so well everywhere else but the Apple TV is the only device I use for using Emby connected to TVs.  I know there's a way to do it with the tiles but I would love to see this feature in the Guide tab like on the web browser.  The tiles are harder to read vs the Guide's grid.

Please do !  New Emby user and just noticed the channel tag filter missing on the guide for Apple TV.   I assumed it would be there like the iOS and Web clients I've been using.  So necessary when there are lots of channels, especially on a TV app.  Really loving Emby though.
