Currently the iptvsimple uses the EPG_GENRE_USE_STRING genre and the <category> value as the description of genre for all entries of EPG and it have not any way to translate the value of <category> tag to the xbmc genre type. Unfortunatly, the xbmc doesn't colorize this type of genre.
I'm planning to add support of <genre> tag in xmltv and/or a some possibility to translate value of <category> tag into the xbmc genre type in future releases.

p.s.
I was trying to understand why when using url to the m3u the channels list won't auto update, when looking at the code (and I'm not a developer) it seems that you use StatFile() to compare between the cached m3u and the link stored at m_strM3uUrl.
But does StatFile() suitable to url or just to local files ?

The StatFile() is suitable for url also. For url it returns the value of Last-Modified header that sends by servers (if header is exists).
As for radio channels, I'm going to add the feature asap. Thanks for your changes but they are incomplete.
