I recently created a playlist to include all of the finales from fall 2016/2017 tv shows. The playlist is showing up on my dashboard. I don’t want it to show up on my dashboard. I would like to remove that. After spending more than an hour searching through Plex settings and searching the web for a solution I’ve come up empty handed. Is there a way to remove my playlists from the dashboard?

There isn’t a way to do that. We’d like to be able to offer the ability to customize the dashboard, but that feature is not available now.

A related issue (bug?) I’m having is that playlists show up even when the items are all from a library excluded from the dashboard?

I agree with the OP. I have a recently played music list that keeps popping up, and I don’t want that to be the first thing I see when I log into Plex. Removing Playlists from the Dashboard should be a top a priority. You can remove other libraries from the Dashboard; why can’t we remove playlists?

Why is this here? I did not put this here. I do not want this here. Please, Plex, do not join the trend which is implementing things I do not want with no way to remove.

Seriously, how is this still an issue?  
For us programming lay people, why is it so hard??  
And is there ANY plans in the future to remedy this???

I agree. I do not want playlists there. Please remove this unwanted distraction.
