There is another thread here with a lot of people with similar complaints.
https://forums.plex.tv/t/on-deck-continue-watching-recently-added/666191/877
They are going to recombine all the recently added libraries in a single row in their next update so we should have the option to just have one for movies and one for tv back
I understand what you’re saying about having to pin the libraries in the same order as the rows
There are things I want pinned for easy access but don’t use enough to justify having them take up a row on the home screen
It’s technically still giving you “control over your content” but in a downgraded way from what we’re used to.
They refer to it saying “Your Media Server content just got a promotion” which from my point of view is not the case.
The main problem I had with the change was the new continue watching/on deck only contained 6-10 shows instead of the 100 I had in on deck before
When you watched the 6th show the last one in the list would just drop off back into the abyss of your library and you had to manually search it out again next time
They are suppose to fix that too but by how many and when I’m not clear on
You are correct, they are trying to make a one size fits all that you can sort of customize but it’s nowhere near the control we had before
Anyway, you can visit that other link I gave you and maybe find some more detailed answers
