Otto it just vanished for me and that’s even after a Server restart.
Version 1.23.3.4707 MacOS
It’s just magic, Other Video appears again after disabling Merge.
What exactly vanished?
The whole “Recently added movies” hub, or?
Other Videos
Using Hosted App - for the absolute latest.
Unmerged:
Merged:
Presto-Chango… whoosh… the Plex is quicker than the eye…

Does the Other Videos library actually have items which fit into the combined hub?
i.e. are they added recently enough to not being pushed out by newer items from the other movie libraries?
Interesting thought…
You can see the Recently Added Other Videos unmerged…
You can’t see the Recently Added Other Videos Merged…
I think those two pictures say everything that needs saying…
No they don’t. They don’t show the actual dates when all those items were added.
If you have 10 movies which were all added in the various “movies” libraries within the last week, they would push all items from the “other videos” library out of the hub – if the items in the “other videos” library all got added 2 weeks ago.
So your saying Landscape Video poster will appear in the merged, along with Portrait poster.
Huhh
Funky
Good point. Either it doesn’t appear at all or maybe it does appear with cropped poster instead?
Did someone check the “Added at” dates and verified that at least one item is new enough to qualify for the merged hub?
I will test your theory out now…
Well just tested this and I could not get new Other video to appear. Now going to the Text below it is clear this is of another media type
A’ight… already did this once when @BigWheel noticed the same thing - months ago - but I just removed, Cleaned Bundles, and replaced this one - even changing the available date to Today:
I got nuthin…:
Oh… I’ll Unmerge…:
There we go… too bad about my 3 Music Libraries I can’t Pin, but… that’s life, I guess…

Thank you for confirming! I will go and see whether this particular case has been filed as a bug.
Thank you for reply, look forward to a update.
Ultimately - If Plex is going to ‘Fix’ this by truncating my landscape image so they can cram it in a portrait list…
Don’t bother - I’d never allow that anyway:
If Plex wants to ‘Fix’ this by simply adding my Other Videos Recently added hub back to the Home Screen - in the position I have it pinned… that would be nice.

Your right about Music, nothing will stick to Home. That must be a bug…
Different media ?
I have my 3 Music Libraries Unpinned - 'cause when I Merge - Other Videos disappears.
Well, there’s a work-around for that:
Unpin my Music Libraries so I can have an Other Videos Hub on my Home Screen…
I’m working on another Work-Around:
I’m gonna find out if a Random Smart Collection in Other Videos will put some Unwatched Other Videos on my Home Screen, so can then Merge and display RA Music from 3 Libraries in a single row while also having some Other Videos on the Home Screen (and we’re going to find out if ‘By Random’ really works - and works in Other Videos).
Drum Roll Please…
Uhhh… Back to the drawing board:
Technically it works - until all my Landscape Artwork is hammered down into Portrait - and that doesn’t work for me.
I am able to get Random Unwatched Movie List on the Home Screen - so 2 steps forward - one back. I guess that is (Glacial - Pre-Global Warming) progress.
