Live TV 'On Now' section: sort by channel number and show channel logos

[firestaerter3]

Feature Request

The "On Now" section on the homepage currently shows a random selection of airing programmes (from the /LiveTv/Programs/Recommended endpoint). This means the main channels often don't show up at all — for example in my setup NPO 1, NPO 2, NPO 3 (the first 3 Dutch channels) are frequently missing entirely.

Emby handles this much better by showing the first N channels sorted by channel number, with channel logos on the cards. This gives users a familiar TV guide-like experience right on the homepage.

Current behavior

• "On Now" uses /LiveTv/Programs/Recommended which returns a seemingly random subset of airing programmes
• Cards show a generic live_tv material icon instead of the channel logo
• No way to control which channels appear or in what order

Expected behavior

• "On Now" should display programmes sorted by channel number (lowest first)
• Cards should show the channel's logo image (available via /Items/{channelId}/Images/Primary) instead of the generic icon
• Ideally the number of channels shown could be configurable, but a sensibel default like 30 would be fine

Workaround

I've been using a custom JS injection that:

1. Fetches the first 30 channels via /LiveTv/Channels?SortBy=SortName&SortOrder=Ascending
2. Fetches airing programmes for those specific channels via /LiveTv/Programs?IsAiring=true&ChannelIds=...
3. Replaces the card HTML in the DOM with sorted cards that include channel logo <img> tags

It works great but obviously a native implementation would be much better.

Screenshots

Emby (for reference) — shows channel logos, sorted by channel number:

The Emby homepage shows NPO 1, NPO 2, NPO 3, RTL 4, RTL 5, SBS 6 etc. in order with their logos prominently displayed on each card.

Jellyfin (current) — random channels, no logos, generic icons:

The current Jellyfin homepage shows random programs like "ZO-NWS", "BBC ONE", "CNN TÜRK" with generic play button icons.

Environment

• Jellyfin version: 10.11.6
• Browser: Safari / Chrome
