Hey guys, loving Channels so far, but it would be even better if I was able to search for channels by name. Most of the time there's a specific channel I want to watch but I'd rather not have to scroll through the guide to find it as I have a LOT of channels. Also being able to rename channels would be great, especially for local channels from the Hdhomerun which use station codes instead of the network names.
Welcome to the community!
Best to create Channel Collections to organize your channels.
No way to do that since the channel name comes from the HDHR.
I'll look into the Channels Collection, but I still think a global search would be a better solution. As for the channel renaming, Emby allows you to rename hdhomerun channels so it definitely can be done.
There's no plans to add search for channels as it's incredibly cumbersome within a TV based experience.
We've spent tons of time solving problems like this with features that offer even more benefits that allow you to customize your experience the way you want, this includes Channel Collections.
After spending a few minutes adding channels to different groups, and applying them to your clients, I think you'll find that the need for searching a super long list of channels is not necessary.
