US/CAN/NA Categories to TVHeadend Content-Type

Added by Kick4U 2 almost 7 years ago

Hello I wanted to share my conversion from my xmltv genres to TVh content-types.

I'm hoping this can help a proper developer use it to help with the struggle for color epg in kodi.
The first category of all programmes in my xml is either TV, Movies, or Sports. I use these 3 'parent' categories to better choose the right content-type.

I would definitely appreciate any ideas or thoughts to better categorize these.
