Bug in Recent TV Show Dashboard logic

I’ve added quite a few shows to my Plex and like using the Recently Added Television area of the main screen to find and watch them.

The bug is that I just added a new TV series with over a hundred episodes, and now instead of having one item for that TV show, along with all of my other recently added television, I get just the one show. To be clear the list is entirely empty except for one poster art item, for the new show.

What must be happening is that the logic for that area is to select X number of recently added episodes, then to display those X episodes in the standard poster art UI. If all of those episodes reside in one show, then there’s only one item to show, otherwise the multiple shows will be displayed side-by-side.

So, the fix here is to show X number of poster art items, not necessarily X number of episodes, and in doing so we’d never end up with a scenario of showing only one item due to lots of episodes added for one show.

Hey Andy, thanks for explaining why it’s happening and what the threshold is. There’s still gotta be a better way to do it which isn’t overly complicated. I’m hopeful, is this even the right place to report this type of issue?
