I’ve searched and searched the forums and cannot find a single user that thinks forcing the Recommended tab on users is helpful…much less…even desirable! Can we please PLEASE get the option to control how our libraries are presented to users with a server-side setting to enable/disable this horribl…

I agree that the recommended tab is annoying and useless. Why would I need Plex to recommend media that I curated? I hope the promised zxdex features sre an improvement not just a perceived improvement by the people thst brought us the Recommended tab. :slightly_smiling_face:

Well, plenty of folks share with people that may not know the content as intimately as the server owner, and for them, there is benefit in that tab, plus things like On Deck or Continue Watching that appear on those tabs.

The media is familiar to the server owner yet it’s Plex that is deciding how it’s presented. It seems that is the concern people have. It’s not the options provided it’s the lack of conttol.

That has been requested before, and it’s been decided that will not happen, but the clients at least remember the last selected tab (or should do).

As a lifetime PlexPass holder and someone who has recommended others purchase the lifetime PlexPass, I am utterly appalled at the fact that so many requests for this option have been flatly denied. In fact, the way it was communicated in other threads could easily have been replaced with a big imag…

PLEASE give option to remove Recommended tab on players!
