Do you have Merge Recently Added enabled?

Yes
I have merge recently added

Do you have an “other Videos” library (with the camera icon) pinned above the Movies library

in this image it is below. There is a bug where if both types are pinned, then the RA row of whichever is below disappears if merge RA’s is enabled

Hello thank you but I do not. I uninstalled the plex player and reinstalled the application from google play store. Recently added movies appeared on the home page for a few seconds then disappeared. It seems to be a issue with plex and not my setup.

If I go into my category “all movies” and choose recommended vs. Library I can see all recently added movies there. Its just a pain not to be able to see it on the home screen.
Recently added tv and music and Plex’s web categories is there but not recently added movies. I do not understand why this can’t be fixed. This took place after the last update.

because you are the only person i know of that has reported it. can’t fix something if we can’t figure out how to reproduce it.

can you please disable “merge recently added” and tell me if that changes anything

also make sure you don’t have Exclude from home screen and global search set for that library

I uninstalled the plex player and reinstalled it again and it appears to be back.
However, since yesterday plex server is not connecting. I checked in settings and it is running. I stopped it and restarted it but it is still unable to connect. Ugh.

Which player did you reinstall? Do you mean remote access is not working? Or just that player won’t connect to server?

2 Ways

  1. Reset home customization on your client device.
    That should fix the problem but it’s only temporary give or take several days before it reverts back…
  2. If you don’t want the clutter of all your library’s in front

here’s what you do!

  1. Go onto your Plex server
  2. Go to settings
  3. Very bottom scroll to manage, go in the libraries…
  4. Scroll to the very bottom until you see “merge recently added items” & uncheck the box…
  5. Next, choose the Library you do not want on your home screen through your PLEX client device…
  6. As an example (Action Films) click on “manage recommendations” In the middle of your categories, you will see (home) under “recently added movies” and (uncheck box)…

This library will not be available in your home recommendations but it will still be assessable on your device…

  1. In order to get the right customizations you’d like you’ll have to do this for every library that you do not want displayed…

It’s tedious, but really the only way right now as of June 2021

Hope this helps
