Disable or filter undesired sections from Movies & Shows

Hi,

Is it possible to disable or filter undesired sections within Movies & Shows so that they never appear? Lately, I have a lot of garbage popping up which pushes anything that I was previously interested in off of the Home page.

I used to enjoy the occasional streaming movie but have had to disable Movies & Shows entirely to avoid the garbage appearing.

Thanks for your help!

Here is what Plex has provided:

Set like that I have a fairly clean Home Screen (Set Each Library):

Caveats:
I have one Movie and one Show Library
If I ‘Merge’ my 3 Music Libraries - Other Videos disappears (whoops!)
Your personal DVR comes ‘Bundled’ with stuff you can’t remove

and other assorted annoyances, but it’s (almost) ‘livable’.

I had to enable a ‘Plex Online Media’ item - and noted there is no control over them. Sad Face.

I would like exactly the same thing.
And I agree - it’s so annoying that I too have just unpinned the streaming section altogether to remove content I have zero interest in from my home screen.

Which seems a shame. But we’re bombarded with content all day. And I use Plex to manage that. So when Plex starts to become part of the problem by not letting me filter content I don’t want


@JuiceWSA what you have shown is how to customise the presentation of personal libraries. But - unless I’m mistaken - @gorpspaz appears to be asking specifically about streaming movies/online media sources.

Even if we could re-order the sections within “Movies & Shows on Plex” that would be great. A ton of content I have no interest in is right at the top of that section. And the things I would occasionally browse are lost down the bottom.

Yes, thank you @JuiceWSA for that tip which I found useful for something else, but @flintdk is right. I want to be able to filter out sections that appear within “Movies & Shows”. Thanks!

You and about a million other users, but I found the blanket solution by disabling ALL of them
lol

Has no one from Plex addressed this at all? How on God’s green Earth is it not possible to personalize the “Movies & Shows” feature like you can with “Live TV”? I like the feature but there are categories there that neither me nor anyone who uses my server has any interest in whatsoever and it’s bizarre that I can’t disable/hide them.
