I would absolutely love to see this integrated. There is so much potential here! Plex has already done a great job following Android TV design guidelines and integrating well with global search and recommendations; I solely have recommendations on for Plex, meaning that my recommendations are entirely my “on deck” content.

Adding Live Channels support would be killer, so much potential. Each playlist could be a channel with an option to play in order or shuffle. Hell you could even have libraries be channels and shuffle them. Or maybe just have a “movies” channel and a “tv channel.” Maybe there could be different genres of channels and if a movie is tagged with that channels genre, it could get played at random.

Haystack news recently added support and its fantastic. They have 10 channels that come into the app and each is a different category of news: Highlights, current events, entertainment, sports, etc. Its really well done and I think Plex is perfectly suited to take advantage of this feature.

Basically, with a large enough library, you could set up channels to simulate what much of Cable TV already does: reruns.
