XMLTV Categories from HDHomeRun

HDHomeRun XMLTV API now supports multiple categories.

With the existing Channels DVR EPG / HDHomeRun XMLTV api implementation the "On Now" categories like "Movies" are empty. Can Channels now read these categories hence making "OnNow" more useable?

Should work in next prerelease

Thank you!

I've downloaded v2023.03.08.0058. Delete/Recreate Guide DB.

XML categories are there, however "On Later" Movies category is still empty.
Category is present in the xmltv - movie

XMLTV-HDHR.xml:

<programme start="20230308104000 +0000" stop="20230308123000 +0000" channel="AU407760.hdhomerun.com">
