[Feature Request] - Custom dashboard listing addition specific to a library or group of libraries

Howdy!

To explain, currently there is the “Recently Added TV” line on the Home dashboard, which our family relies on heavily for what is recorded via the Plex DVR. In addition to regular TV programs, which continually update this section on the dashboard, I also record multiple local and national news programs throughout the day for myself … which also add to this section.

Now, imagine the complaints from the family of how much I’m recording for myself because its become difficult for them to see what they were looking for [very first world problem].

I am requesting the ability to create a custom “Recently Added to … [custom_listing_name]” option for main dashboard. This would give the ability to separate out the “catch-all” listing that is associated for the “Recently Added TV” shows listing, from a PMS owner defined listing that is library, or libraries, specific “Recently Added to …” listing on the dashboard that the client apps see. If a library is associated with a custom listing, then it shouldn’t be displayed in the primary listing.

From setting the DVR, the library associated with that custom listing can then be selected.

Below is mock-up of what I am referring to above.

If there is a way to do that now which I haven’t discovered yet, I’d love to have a little direction, please. If not, I feel this is one small display feature that may be a great feature asset, and would love to see it added, if not too overwhelming.

Thank you very much for your consideration of this feature request,

Kind regards,
Lane Smith

It’s been some time since this suggestion has been posted.
I suppose you should be able to create such custom hubs based on a set of smart collections which are published to the home page.

e.g.

  • Match all of the following
    • Match any of the following
      • Show Title is Show 1
      • Show Title is Show 2
      • alternatively you could look for shows with a certain label or tag
    • Date Episode AddedIs in the lastX weeks
