I appear to have found an oddity with 1.22.3, might even be a bug!
So after the roast beef for my belly, followed by a snooze, I decided to open that 1.22.3 can of worms, and after a subsequent restart of PMS, indeed I saw the option Merge Recently Added Items which is something I have personally been waiting for since the split of RA’s.
I can see that the home screen has indeed merged the RA hubs for the 2x TV Shows libraries that I have pinned to the sidebar, however I appear to no longer have any RA hubs at all for my 4x Movies libraries.
Here is my sidebar…
And yet on the home screen, I only see the following hubs…
Continue Watching
Recently Added TV
Recently Added Music
Recently Played Music
So after some messing around, resetting the customization, restarting the server etc, I realized that I have Exclude from home screen and global search set on the 4K Movies library.
I then unpinned that library, and the combined RA hub for the remaining 3x movie libraries then appeared! … And indeed it showed items from all 3 libraries!
I then re-pinned the 4K Movies library to the sidebar, and initially it appeared at the bottom of the sidebar list, at which point I still had the RA hub for the 4x Movie libraries… GREAT!
I then reordered the sidebar, moving the 4K Movies library to the top, and the RA hub for the movies libraries disappeared!
So to summarize …
If you have a library which has
Exclude from home screen and global searchpinned to the top of your sidebar, the RA hub for that media type will not appear on the Home screen. But if you reorder the sidebar and move that library anywhere below, the RA hub then appears.
Plex Web version 4.54.5…
PMS version 1.22.3.4392…
EDIT: This behavior is also pushed / carried through to Plex for Android TV 8.16 (on my Shield 2019 Pro) and the new Plex HTPC 1.2, but not on Plex for Android 8.15 (on my Sony XH95)
