So, I understand the idea behind the way the Recommendations work now on the Home Screen, but I have so many different libraries that I wish I could go back a few versions to the Library Type Home Screen. The concept of having a “Recommendation” and “Recently Added” for each library is not a bad thing, but is there a way that we could get an option to not utilize that, and go back to “Library Type” where it combined all library types into a single “Recently Added”? For Example, Recently Added Movies would work as it did before, not by my different Libraries (Movies, Kids Movies, Documentaries, Stand-Up Comedy) where they are now separate line items which extends my home screen quite a bit, but have an option in the Library Settings (Manage …) to display the same way back when it combined all of these different Libraries into a single “Recently Added Movies”? I liked the Home Screen Much better when it wasn’t so cluttered. This is only my opinion, as I am sure this is very useful for others, who don’t mind scrolling through everything, but I do not find that I enjoy it unfortunately. If I really am interested in a certain Recently Added from a single Library, I could see the specifics of that in that Libraries Home Screen as I have it displayed there. Just a thought … thank you for your time.
There’s a server setting which, when enabled, causes the recently added hubs of same-type libraries to be merged. It’s under Settings (Server Name) → Libraries → Merge Recently Added items:
This support article has some additional information regarding the management of recommendations in general:
I feel so dumb now, as I should have seen that, if I had been looking the way that I would have. Thank you for helping me out here I really appreciate it!!!
No problem, hopefully it will help make your home screen more useful to you. And don’t be too hard on yourself, with the recent changes made to home screen management it’s pretty easy to overlook.
