Is there any way to default to All Movies, All TV Shows, etc. when I select one of the library sections, instead of On Deck? On Deck isn't working for me (I have PMS on a Linux box and I'm stuck on 0.9.7).
Also, is there a way to reorder the library sections on the main screen?
Thanks!
Why are you stuck on 0.9.7? There is a Linux version of 0.9.8.6.175, why can’t you upgrade to that?
I am using Fedora 14 with Amahi Home Server. The installer package is still in beta (see right side):
http://www.amahi.org/apps/plex-media-server
I am not very good with Linux, so I'm not sure how to install it without that (if anyone is willing to point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it).
In any case, I'd be interested to know if it's possible to change the default, because even if On Deck was working, I'm not sure I'd use it.
Thanks!
Can we stay on topic of the question? This has nothing to do with the version of Server he's running.
To continue....
in your PlexConnect directory, there are two files:
./assets/templates/MovieSection.xml ./assets/templates/MovieSectionTopLevel.xml
In each there is a line:
Change that to the index you'd like to be set to default. "0" will be "All Movies" (or All Shows)
You can also remove OnDeck if you wanted, just comment out the section in that same file. Just add the XML comment indicators around the part to remove ("")
As far as the main Library screen, the order looks to be alphabetical for each section type.

This is how it is delivered by PMS...
Thanks very much! This is really helpful.
Is there any way to re-order in PMS, or is it just hard-coded to be alphabetical? I tried reordering in PMS but the edit mode seemed to just allow me to rename, delete, or add a new library section.
It's not a huge deal, but I use TV much more that movies and I'd prefer it be at the top if possible.
Will they switch positions if you give the libraries different names other than Movies and TV Shows. Maybe put a "1. " in front of “TV Shows” and a "2. " in front of Movies? I haven’t tested this by the way, just an idea.
Good thought. I'll give this a try when I get home. Thanks!
It would be nice to be able to reorder without renaming, but I'm guessing this will give me the result I'm after.

What the hell..... crowfan asked if there was a way to default to the "all" section because on deck wasn't working for him as he's running PMS 0.9.7, I simply asked why he's stuck on PMS 0.9.7 as on deck doesn't work with 0.9.7. So yes this has everything to do with the "version of Server he's running".
His post made it sound like he only wanted to default to "all" because on deck didn't work, if he had said in his first post that he didn't like the on deck page then I wouldn't of even asked about the version of PMS he was running. So don't tell me to stay on topic.

Sounds to me like he was only asking to default to "all" because on deck wasn't working! So I simply asked about the PMS version. What exactly was wrong with me doing that?
Problem solved. Are we done here?
I'm done, just don't tell people to stay on topic when what they are posting is on topic.
Please don't tell me what to do. Thanks.
Fair enough, then don't tell me to stay on topic when I am on topic :)
last post.
Thankfully
