Hello,

My iptv m3u file contains movies and series.

I can see my TV channel but in the serie category, it's empty.

How jellyfin add things in this category ? My m3u file need to be formatted with specific tags ?
Same thing for movies ? How can I add them ?

I don't see help in wiki :/

If it's not possible, could you please add this to your roadmap ?
It would be great to have jellyfin fully compatible with xstream code IPTV. Jellyfin would be able to get live TV channels, EPG and VOD without using xteve to filter tv channel etc...

Thank you

Closing this issue as it does not reference a Jellyfin bug. The category information is provided by the XML data from your Live TV provider.
