Server Version#: 1.22.2.4282  
Player Version#: irrelevant

After the last update I added a new library that I don’t want to be visible on the home screen and when I went to check the settings, the visibility options were no longer there. Is that with everyone or just me? Any news on the fix?

Thanks.

That has been removed for an upcoming change. Check out the forum for more info. I believe the ‘visibility’ change will mean that anything pinned to the sidebar will be visible. This means I will have to unpin 6 of 11 libraries as I don’t want them to show on the ‘Home’ page. Very irritating.

EDIT: I found the thread where it has been discussed for further information:

> Hi, There used to be a setting when editing a library to allow visibility as follows Visibility : Restrict where content from this library should appear. Include in home screen and global search Exclude from home screen Exclude from home screen and global search I at one stage set a library to “Exclude from home screen” which worked fine however I now cannot re-add it to include in home screen as the setting appears to be missing.
