So apparently Plex doesn’t want us customizing our home screens anymore, because the pencil icon disappeared this week and this message appeared on this page : [custom] I don’t want Plex’s river of garbage on my home screen - how do I remove it now that the pencil icon has disappeared?

I think you need this page now: [image] Manage Recommendations | Plex Support As part of Plex Media Server library management, server admins can can manage which recommendation rows will show up on... (You would think they could have put a link on that old page) …

This is the dumbest thing ever however. Someone like me gives every show a different entry to be pinned and so now when you log into the server it lags like crazy because its being forced to load every single entry on the freaking main page now instead of just being organized into “Recently added tv…

You can set the check box at the very bottom of the library configuration to merge the recently added hubs of the same media type (e.g. movies, tv, music) – see " Merge Recently Added" in the support article linked by blim5001.

I appreciate the link - there is some good info on that page. However, it doesn’t really answer the question: before Apr 22, we had a high level of control of what appeared on the Home Screen. Now we don’t. For instance, I have new rows appearing on my Home Screen called “Recent Playlists,” “Recent …

All explained in the support article linked by blim5001. You can set checkboxes for each hub/row for your own home, the respective library recommended tab and your shared user’s home. Those configuration “rows” can also be re-arranged.

haha, I was not implying it was a good change, just where the new support page was Me, I am not a fan (and that is being polite). As a user it feels like it has got more complicated to set it up how you want and more restrictive as to what you can actually do.

Okay but since I have about 200 libraries pinned in the sidebar and now their all appearing on the home screen how does what you said actually help? People use the Recently Added section to just check merely when new stuff is added for a specific category. I have people who watch my recently added t…

[image] You see how big that scroll wheel is now on the home screen and the only thing on it thats actually useful on the home screen is the Continue Watching tab that stayed there. These people when they start up plex now are frozen on plex for a good 2-5 minutes because plex is now stuck forcefu…

Appreciate the help, but just so you know, there is no way to do what I’m trying to do within the new interface. And checking those boxes has no effect on what appears on the home screen. Also, dragging the “rows” into a different order has no effect on the home screen either.
