A picture is worth a thousand words (Newbie)

As I recall ‘some’ of the hubs were fixed.
There’s, at least, one left that only manifests it’s old Alpha state when it’s pinned to the Home screen. <— where it immediately makes my head explode.

Start Watching <—which otherwise would be quite helpful

I will check at home to see if I can confirm the same.

You might try removing, then re-adding the hub, to see if that makes a difference.

and I agree, it is extremely annoying to see a static/alpha sorted hub.

  • ios start watching - shuffled (not alpha)
  • plex web start watching - shuffled (not alpha)
  • androidtv/shield start watching - to be determined
  • roku start watching - to be determined

I just did - when I added it to the Home Screen to see if that was it - it was - it’s broke - it’s Removed. <----successfully ‘cycled’.

But this brief interlude only illustrates the wonders that can only be enjoyed once you name and structure your files properly - as us two yahoos have been doing for a long time.

As others have said, it doesn’t have to be manual! There are tools for this :slight_smile:

Three primary tools automate this work, without these my plex would be a hella mess!

Filebot saved my marriage, it saves THAT much time :slight_smile:
