Show regional channels on a different view or in a sub-group #191

Hello, in the Italian section of Hypnotix we have 400+ channels. This is a huge amount of channels and it's confusing.

The repository @ Free-TV (https://github.com/Free-TV/IPTV/blob/master/italy.md) has the "Regional" sub-group but in Hypnotix they are shown as a looong unique list.

Can you please consider to add s sub-group for the regional channels? E.g. example

hypnotix can not do this.

I've splitted the italy.md, try this playlist for Italy. Add it in hypnotix.

rename italy.txt to italy.m3u italy.txt

Thanks, it works very well! Now I can see the splitted categories like in your screenshot. This view is shown when I press "TV channels" so I can't see all the others countries anymore. It's not a big problem in my case, I'm just reporting this. I don't know if it's intentional or not.

Hyptnotix became really unreliable with this new playlist. I don't know if it related to the new playlist or not. If you try to open the groups and start some random channel from the various groups it always freezes after a while. I didn't find any particular "path" to reproduce this bug. In the task monitor I can see "hypnotix" or "/usr/bin/python" with about 290MB of RAM. If I kill one of the two processes (it depends on which one is shown) the app closes and I can re-start it. It still freezes if I start again reproducing some random channel.

I have tested, can show only the channels with no geo blocking and it is all ok. uses ~5MB tmp

So it seems a problem affecting only me. I'll try to understand why. Thank you very much.
