siteini-radiotimes.com is great for categories but I want a way for adding a "Movie/Film" category. I use Jellyfin as my platform for TV. I would be great to figure out how to get this category in as it will show upcoming movies on the home-screen of Jellyfin.
Any ideas from the Webgrab Guru's?

can you make a sample of what you need ?
The best way would be to show an example of my Jellyfin livetv home page (attached image)
I have selected a film from the listings called "You Belong To Me"
You can see from my "filmlisting-from-guide.xml" which shows a part of my guide.xml and shows that Film listing have no category form movies, so jellyfin cant figure out what is a movie and what is not.
I had a look at the source on the radiotimes website and it does seem to have a tag for movies "html-from-movielisting-on-site.txt".
Hope this helps a bit more on what I am trying to achieve.
This is a screenshot of what what jellyfin asks for from the xml file to determine different categories.
Jellyfin is pretty much the same as emby which I use.
Rather than import the epg directly I use xteve.
With it u can assign each channel a category like movie,sports,series,news.
Since radiotimes doesn't have a movie category your only other option is use a different Ini that does.
Ah yes I forgot about xteve, used it years ago. Yes you are right I could assign different channels as movie channels but it still doesn't help decipher what is movies on regular channels. Radiotimes.ini seems to be one of the best INI's I have found so far for most other categories it just seems to fall at the movie section. I did try the whattowatch.com.ini but it seems to give a lot of false positives with the movies.
i had a look at the data.
there is a way to tell movies apart from all other shows.
i sent the fix to mat8861 to update the ini,Movie added as a category for shows that are actual movies.
