I updated Plex about a week ago and now all libraries show up. They are named wrong. All libraries say movies but they arent movies.

I have a library called “Documentaries” but it shows as “movies” on the home screen.

How would I go about changing this title to reflect what is in the library?

The home screen is aggregating media by its types (e.g. movies, tv-shows, music, photos, other videos…).

Thank you tom80H.

However the question was, can this be changed to reflect the actual library name vs. the type of library?

I would like to be able to show the actual names as well.

I agree, scruffyque, this would be a nice feature…

jrsherwood I found a thread on reddit (link below) that says the displaying of the actual library name is platform Specific at the moment. NVidia Shield, FireStickTV, Windows (my setup), probably others too, do not this implemented, yet. Whereas AppleTV has the names in parenthesis.

I haven’t found anything, yet, about a time as to when the rest of the Plex apps/services will be updated.  
I’ll post if I ever do.
