How to hide watched movie from recently added on plex

Hello, I have a lot of added movie on Plex (from a Synology NAS), and I would love to hide the watched movies as they keep on being there and I cannot keep on with the one I still want to watch.
I looked online but couldn’t find any new article about this.
Any ideas? Or maybe a future setting to do so?
:slight_smile:

There’s a topic about that from 2010 :sweat_smile: and it seems they still don’t have this feature, at least I couldn’t find it.
An alternative is to create a playlist like the one bellow ordered by Date added and filtered by watching status:

Unfortunately, you cannot add this playlist to your home screen

Disable:
“Empty trash after every scan”

Server/Settings/Library.

If enabled, that setting will dump all the items from the database that aren’t there - when your storage is sleeping during maintenance. Any items added back to the database - are brand new.

Also - Recently Added is way different from Continue Watching, but if you have 200 items in Continue Watching - you’ll never see any more than 3 on the home page.

If you go to the Library - Recommended Tab - you will find Continue Watching and it may show all of them - I can’t recall. Check it out.

On Deck is ONLY for TV Shows.
Continue Watching is - a giant crazy pill - 'cause it shows both Shows and Movies, basically making it useless for Movies.

UNLESS…:
You have a Roku UNO app.
You can chose to ONLY show Movies in Continue Watching - and NO SHOWS - since they’re already shown in progress in On Deck - that’s directly below Continue Watching.

It is - what it is.

Woow indeed… The thing is that I set up different libraries by genre :slight_smile:

I will try to disable the trash, but we don’t have lots of continue watching, just 2, t be honest.
I really mean fully watched movies!

I don’t get why you guys do that :smile:. If you create one single Movie library, you still can filter genre

A new item is new - even if it’s watched.

The trick is to stop getting new movies added every night after maintenance.
Don’t sleep your storage - or disable Empty trash automatically.
