Server Version#:1.32.8.7639 Player Version#:Roku When using the PLEX player on ROKU, on the left side of the screen is a list of the folders on my PLEX Media Server. When I select a folder it displays the videos in the folder on the right pane of the screen. At the top of the screen it displayes “Recommended” and “Library” with “Recommended” underlined as the current setting. But with “Recommended” only a subset of the content of the folder is displayed. The default has always been “Recommended” but I could change the setting to “Library” where all the content of the folder would be displayed. If I left the folder and later came back later, it would remember “Library” as the setting. But now, if I leave a folder and come back, it always reverts to “Recommended” so not all of the contect of the folder is displayed. This is a big nuisance. Is there a way to have “Library” be the default setting or at least remember it as the previous setting? ---

> [@rwj221](#): > > Is there a way to have “Library” be the default setting or at least remember it as the previous setting? The question was in the last sentence: “Is there a way to have “Library” be the default setting or at least remember it as the previous setting?” Which is valid. There is only the option to “Remember selected tab” (which can be set to “Library” or “Recommended”) but has a habit of forgetting the setting occasionally. And there is the option to disable recommendations appearing: [https://support.plex.tv/articles/manage-recommendations/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/manage-recommendations/) But not to disable the “Recommended” tab entirely, which would be a great feature to have. ---

> [@random\_plex\_user](#): > > The question was in the last sentence Sorry… it appears the original (very empty) post was amended at some point. # The `Remember selected tab` option should cover this. Keep in mind Plex will store this for each library… so if you switch between `Recommended` and `Library` for one of those libraries, Plex will remember the last selection. I’m not aware of an issue where Plex is forgetting the setting. # > [@random\_plex\_user](#): > > But not to disable the “Recommended” tab entirely, which would be a great feature to have. There’s a feature suggestion asking for an option to remove the `Recommended` section. Although from what I can see it hasn’t yet seen all that much attention. > [@Get rid of "Recommended" on server](https://forums.plex.tv/t/get-rid-of-recommended-on-server-paying-user/711041): > > I just went through every libery/Folder on my server in Plex (server) grimacing And if I disable all the settings under “Recommended”, the content gets unavailable when I switch view from “Libery/Folder” to “Recommended”. AND it is not possible to get it back unless I change the server setting to make sure that there are content in the recommended section. Please make it possible to disable it permanently AND If a Plex Admin writes that it will not be done; Do it with a good technical or… ---

This has been a problem/complaint for years so not sure anything is ever going to change with it. Changing the setting for each library has to be done every time you set up a new client. I just went through this with my dad remotely setting up 2 Roku clients. ---
