Preference: Group Recently Added TV Shows

Instead of displaying individual episodes
I will generalize two common types of preference for watching TV Shows/Series with Plex (there are probably other usage scenarios, too).


1)People who prefer to download individual episodes and watch as they are aired/available;
2)People who prefer to download season packs and watch them in batches.


I am of the latter type. With that in mind, the "Recently Added" areas of the TV Show sections are useless to me, because I add complete seasons to my library, so all I see is a bunch of individual episodes to the same series. I'd rather be able to view the season as one item, or just the whole show if that is easier. That way when I go to "Recently Added," I see a much more useful display of shows that have new content. Group one will likely want to keep things the way they are now, so this could be a setting that is toggled on or off in the preferences.

Sorry I can’t recall now where this is stated to provide you a link, but it’s marked as being worked on for the desktop clients. This is currently the default behavior for iOS clients, it hasn’t yet migrated to desktop apps.




excellent! i too prefer how it's handled in iOS

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (Plex grouping recently added episodes as season/show depending on how many are added)
