With the sentence you've written, it would probably be better to construct it as follows.
You could also use "for instance" instead of "like". This would be more formal, and preferred given that it looks like you're writing formal specifications. In this case, the punctuation used would be a colon. It seems odd to use it with "like", though.
You can also use "e.g.".
Or you could use a dash or colon instead of either.
Please don't use "i.e." though (see @Jay's comment to find out why).
Also note that the plural of "genre" is "genres", and if you're talking about the title of a process or button when you mention "Filter by genre" then consider putting it in quotes.
