It wouldn't be too hard. I just don't have a clue about how to present 
the options to the user. If you want to make it a no movie filter, the 
sql statements just need to be modified. I'd support making it be "6" 
which is consistent with how you filter out unwanted channels in the 
epg. I don't know anything about how the user interface code works, so 
I'll leave that up to someone who does. I can do ifs elses and whiles 
but much beyond that and I get lost. I suppose a string could be build 
dynamically which would determine exactly what is filtered, and a button 
could cycle throught those.

Possible filter modes:
All
Movies only
Shows only
