How to Use Filters in Klave

A healthy IPTV library runs to tens of thousands of titles and channels. Klave never makes you scroll all of it: every browsing screen carries quick filters, and a set of global preferences shapes what surfaces everywhere. Nothing is ever deleted — filters only change what you see.

At the top of the Movies and TV Shows grids sits a glass filter pill reading All. Tap it to Filter by Genre — pick one and the grid narrows instantly; pick All to clear it. Next to it, the sort pill flips the grid between A–Z, Rating, Newest, and Oldest.

Live TV gets its own pair: a Filter by Category pill that narrows the channel list to one provider category, and a heart toggle — Favorites only — that hides everything you have not hearted. On Apple TV the guide adds a channel search and a Has guide toggle that skips channels with no program data.

Two settings shape the whole app. Settings → Preferred Language leads with your language across Movies, TV Shows, and Live TV, grouping other languages after — nothing disappears. Settings → Preferred Regions shows content from the regions you enable, and untagged content always comes through. Both are filters on your view, never on your sources.

Filters change what you see — never what you have.

For the categories you never want to see again, Settings → Customize Sources is the heavier tool: hide or reorder the categories and genres each source contributes — down to individual channels on Live TV. Hidden things stay hidden through every resync, and like everything else, your choices sync privately across your devices through iCloud.

1. 1Open Settings → Customize Sources.
2. 2Pick a scope — Live TV Categories, Movies, or TV Shows.
3. 3Toggle off what you never watch, drag to reorder what you keep, and save.

Layer the four together — a genre pill for the moment, favorites for the evening, language and regions for the household, Customize Sources for the permanent cleanup — and the firehose starts behaving like a curated library.
