Live TV issues and Suggestions ASAP

[poppabear8883]

First thing first, I am referencing the public Roku channel (and this repository version) ... I am also a developer (not Roku, but a developer in several other languages/platforms). I am interested in Roku development, however there isn't very much good resources to get started. I have looked through the source to see if there was anything i could see or do for myself (and submit a PR) but I'm starting to feel like i may have fast results by creating an issue here.

1. The public channel has issues handling large m3u sources (over 30k results) when trying to use the "navigation" (the #-z), when selecting for example the C (to go to channels that start with C obviously) it hangs and sometimes crashes the Roku TV/Sticks. Sometimes after a crash it refuses to open back up, sometimes i have to reinstall the Emby app and reactivate (using the pin) ... But every time i try and use the navigation it crashes and hangs.

2. It would be AMAZING if we can get better grouping of these channels, for example my m3u source follows this format:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="24 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week" tvg-name="24/7 24" tvg-logo="https://www.thetvdb.com/banners/posters/76290-4.jpg" group-title="24/7 CHANNELS",24/7 24 http://****/*****/******/18409 (removed sensitive information)

As you can see above the group-title parameter could be useful here.

3. The sorting of channels could be better, They don't seem to follow alphabetical order (when sorting by name, while using the above format)

Please respond with what I can expect from these concerns.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
