Now that we have collections, it would be quite nice if there was an option to view them as a group directly from the home screen. This exists for Playlists, which are essentially another type of Collection, so why not add it for Collections? If some users don’t like this, maybe it could be option…

I suppose it’s slightly more complicated as you currently could have the same collections-tag with different posters/descriptions… in different libraries. I do like the general idea though.

Perhaps a collections page (if it were created) could be sub-divided by library similar to what happens with combined TV/Movie collections. I have a Star Trek collection with SIX different subdivisions: one for each decade a TV show aired (because I separate my shows by decade), plus one for the mo…

Would love this feature request ! …would be good as a hub section (same as playlists) and or a button alongside movie sections etc.

Well, I upgraded the server to 1.22.3 last night but when I check what version Plex Web is, it’s only showing version 4.54.5. How do I update that part @tom80H ?

You can use http://app.plex.tv/desktop or the version bundled with Plex for Mac/Windows 1.31.0 (desktop client). The local version of Plex Web bundled with your server will be updated with a future release of PMS.

Ok, that’s a neat workaround. Thanks for the quick reply. :slight_smile: Although, I didn’t expect the collection to expand out into a row. I thought we’d be able to put a single row of multiple Collections. Is that possible?

that’s not covered by this recent release/update.

This only makes the collections visible as their own lists on the Home page. I want a Section named “Collections” just like the Playlists has one.

I’m looking to see a Collection library get created when one creates collections of movies.

Not 100% what you’re asking for… though with Plex Web 4.56.3 / PMS 1.22.3 you should now be able to pin/publish collections to your home screen
On the collection: ... > Visible on → pick from Library, Home and Shared User's Home (requires PMS 1.22.3).
