Been a Plex user for years but didn’t come across OpenPHT until yesterday. Love the project as I’m not a big fan of PMP. I saw in the release notes about the option to show shared libraries on the home screen but can’t find the option in Preferences. Can anyone point me to where I can find the option?

Preferences \> Change preferences for system \> Plex \> Show shared libraries in menu

I’ve the same issue. I’ve chacked this option in plex preferences. Why I can’t see the shared library???

Having this setting on or off makes no difference for me. Regardless i always see shared libraries in the main menu. My problem is I used to see the 3 shared libraries on my main menu but within a tidy container/section called Shared Content (i think). Now i see all 3 shared libraries along side my own libraries which i don’t like, ie no shared content container

if it is (your) plex cloud library - its not actually a shared library and will show on the homescreen directly

Not plex cloud library. A friend shared their own standard plex library with me.
