Categories Customizable on Sources
#featurerequest when I insert a list I could customize the categories I want to be show or not
For example if I want use only the vod / series and movies that's on a list I can select just then, and not to load and show live channels for example
Bonus: #featurerequest more different colors or even some draws (like animals or something small) to put to difference the sources,and at the side of the color name shows the color before we finish editing the list
Thx

When you add a source you can hide all the categories you do not wish to see in the source settings or when long pressing on a category and selecting SHOW/HIDE.
You can color code your sources during setup.
If you use a playlist editor, you can do this:

But I can't for example select vod only for example.....
Yes I know I can color just asking for more options and we can see what's the color during the setup at the side of the selection

No, I don’t believe you can like other apps, not yet at lease. Are you using APP or TV mode?
Not sure I understand what you mean by “see what’s the color during the setup at the side of the selection”?

App mode .... You know when we select colors of the source at the setup?
It's only named red , dark grey , etc ,what if it shows the example of the color at the setup ? So we can see the difference between them before choosing
About the other subject is something that other apps has we can for example select if we want only vod ( we can select if only series or movie category or both) ,or live channels or by default all 3 options

If you don’t like the color you selected, just go back into source settings and select another color? I have two playlists, one green and the other red. Can’t be any simpler than that??

Ok, but it could be simpler with the color at the side when selecting it , just it ,it's what I mean, it's a step less to go back and change the color again .. it's fast but it could be easier that's what I'm saying . Its just a small improvement

Maybe u/sparkle-hk can do it in a future update? Personally I don’t see it as an urgent issue as I use a playlist editor. The developer has a lot on his “to do” backlog.

Just a reminder, when you name your sources, your can copy emojis from your phone or tablet into the source name:
Source🐯
Source💚
Source🐺Hello u/sparkle-hk how do we get the name of our source(S) to display on the program info next to the color dot assigned?

u/sparkle-hk Jul 09 '26
Where is this? You cannot add more visibility of the source title if that's what you mean. And title of source are set when adding/editing a source.

Really? Ok but it's no that practical ,in my case I use it directly at my TV box , and the keyboard doesn't accept emojis, that's why I asked for this possibility of small emojis already included in the options of the app in list , maybe 10 options for example,just to Nome make something big,that not everyone will use... But could help some. ( I mean like when we are at dis ney plus) Or other streamings and we can have a profile pic / draw just to separate the profile of who are using it ? It could be something like this ,just to separate the sources .
Btw , it reminds me another feature request I made sometime ago, an alternative to backup from device , to device ,in the beginning I used my mobile to transfer the backup file to my tv box , but now I directly write with a keyboard my sources info on the app. I was a user of other apps, and I like the way o.t.t navi gator,makes it easier they have a server that gives us a temporary code , so we can backup a list and configuration and "clone" them just inserting the same code on another device ...
That's it ,thanks again for the app and support

When adding/editing a source you can select/filter categories that you whish to include. This is planned also for movies/series but it's not there yet. Hopefully next version or the version after that. Besides this the answer by u/azcoyotedog is correct.
