Plex is Perplexing for sure!

I am using the Plex app for live channels of which there are many, almost too many. My question is, how does one mark as favorites live streaming channels? I did it once quite by accident so I have one puny little favorite. It isn't the most blind guy or girl friendly app in the world but it does have some channels that aren't on other apps. If someone could help me solve the "mark channel as a favorite" problem that would really be appreciated.

As far as I know, on Plex's big screen apps, you have the option to customize the guide. This includes marking any channel as a "favorite" and then viewing those favorites in a consolidated location. You can also re-order the favorites however you want. These options are usually found under the "ā€¦" menu at the top of the guide.

There's this article at https://support.plex.tv/articles/225877387-program-guide/ that might be really helpful in this regard. Check it out.

If you're doing this once by accident, it sounds like you stumbled upon the right feature without realizing it! Just head to the guide, look for the channel you want to add as a favorite, and use the customization options to mark it. This should make navigating through those many channels a lot easier.
