Server Version#: 1.31.0.6654
Player Version#: Plex for Windows 1.64.2.3546-5107ec40
So in trying to replace the default “Recently Added” recommendation for movies (and other libraries), I discovered a bug where the recommendation reappears on the homescreen even though it’s disabled.
Steps to reproduce:
Disable a default Plex “Recently Added X” recommendation in Libraries in settings
Have at least one other recommendation in that same library enabled
Play something from the homescreen, ( I used continue watching), in full view
Stop playing
You should see the recently added recommendation reappear on the homescreen, even though it is still disabled in the Libraries settings.
Edit for clarification:
The first “recently added movies” is a smart collection I made, at first I did think having the same name was causing the bug, so i tested it without it and in different libraries and had the same problem. https://i.imgur.com/mY57xeI.mp4
Your Gif looks like it adds another " Recently Added Movies" that was already there doubling it up which certainly looks like a bug but i can’t reproduce. Did you have Recently Added TV disabled?
Possibly I cannot reproduce because I am on the latest server beta 1.31.1.6733 ( I am also on a Mac not Windows so will ask others if they can repro when they are online)
Do you have “Merge Recently Added” enabled at the bottom of the Manage Libraries settings? I was able to repro with that enabled but wanted to confirm if you have it enabled, and if you disable it, does it stop happening.
I didn’t think of that, I did have “Merge Recently Added” enabled,
I just disabled it and tested, that did fix the bug,
then I re-enabled it and the bug came back.
So I guess that’s the cause, nice find!
Unfortunately merging recently added TV is a pretty nice feature that I’d probably choose over having a custom “Recently Added Movies”, at least until it’s fixed.
