I'd love to see the MediaPortal genres customizable. There are loads of genres that just don't fit the pre-selected ones. E.g. soap, drama, food, reality, comedy, sci-fi, game show, etc.
I agree.
If you read ETSI EN 300 468, there are 11 top level categories (genres), and each of them have several sub-categories (sub-genres).
These categories (toplevel and sub) are well known and standardized. Why is this not the default genre mapping in MP?
At least there should be really more genres in MP...

the biggest problem is that every program can have several genres. What should MP show in that case? right now it shows just the first one.
Actually in many cases it doesn't show any because none of them fit. I'd rather have the first one than nothing at all.
fit to what? you have to map received genre names to predefined in MP genre types by yourself.
MP uses the first one received.
It's probably best if you re-read my first post.

The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...

from earlier today zap2it grab was 52 channels/7626 programs gracenote grab was 55 channels/6896 programs. same silicondust tuners used by both HTPC's. Haven't dug any deeper.

If I remove all the IP cards in the TVServer setup and then add them back I can scan the M3u and tune the stations but if I rescan it on the same card it just keeps updating the 1 channel. My brain is melting.........
