Force web home screen setup to all devices and connected user devices

hi all,
long shot right?

i gave up on recently released/added on my home screen having 30 categories.

i’ve merged most but still have 8 left.

i’ve reset my web interface and added only recently released tv shows with recently released movies + already existing on deck list.

it’s prefect now but …

on Samsung tv i had to reset home screen setup … now it’s showing all recently added rather than released (not sure how to change that) and also cannot hide specific categories / recently added without hiding categories ithemselves from the left menu …

any chance we can have script to force all devices to match server owner web HOME SCREEN setup to all devices and all account’s devices connected to this server?

Thanks

I too (reluctantly) am in the process of combing libraries to get rid of the RA hubs. Unfortunately, most of the apps haven’t quite perfected the home customization idea, and the best we can expect is a totally different experience and result and a bunch of frustration. The idea of customizing each and every app has always annoyed me, the recent server changes didn’t help too much. :roll_eyes:

I would suggest just be a bit more patient.
I know its been problematic for many for too long, but as per the thread @ On Deck, Continue Watching & Recently Added progress is being made, even if not visibly.

It’s a work in progress and truly believe it’s for the better. This is from a guy that had many Libraries.

But it’s ok throwing your thoughts forward as long as there constructive. :wink:

Thanks Tekno I tend to agree

Still think it should be controlled or at least server owner should have control option to customise 1 interface which then would sync to all devices and all connected account devices. Its not like our parents etc are able to do it themselves.

Great news :slight_smile: big thanks

but also this crashed server app multiple times yesterday and today.

today ive tried to reset customizations of home screen on adriood app and it crached server app itself.

updated each time i refresh android app it crashed server. Reinstalling app and reseting home screen on app helped to stop crashing server.

I had reports server was done while folk tried using samsung tv so thats needs testing on my side

2nd update older samsung tv plex working due to no home screen, ios on ipads seems fine

but amazing stick plex crashes server all the time … took 5-6 server app restarts for amazon stick to pickup home screen without crashing

nah, even if screen manages to load - everytime you even reorder screen it crashes server app. also even if you start/restart amazon app it crashes server

if you can reproduce the server crashes, please post the logs.

debug logs on
verbose logs off
plex web > settings > troubleshooting > download logs > drag/drop to reply here

if a client is crashing, the devs would need client logs
