Show Only Unwatched in "Recently Added"

Feature Suggestions

You can achieve this functionality today in Plex. Here’s an example for a movies-type library.

  1. Select the Library view for the library.
  2. View the library by Movies, and sort “By Date Added.”
  3. Change “All” to “Advanced Filters.”
  4. Select the “Unwatched” filter and set it to “is true.”
  5. Optionally, add other relevant filters and/or set an item limit.

It should end up looking something like this:

  1. On the right side of the page, select Save As → Save as Smart Collection (it’s important that you select the Save as Smart Collection option). Then, give the collection a meaningful name (I suggest “Recently Added and Unwatched Movies”).

View your movies library by Collections and find the one you just created. Click the vertical ellipsis in the bottom-right of its poster and select Visible On → Home (and/or Library/Friends’ Library).

The collection will now appear as a hub on your home screen just like any other hub. Its order and visibility can be managed in the normal way, via Settings → [Server Name] → Libraries → Manage Recommendations.

The collection is dynamic and will update whenever the filter criteria are met/unmet.

Optionally, you can now disable Plex’s built-in Recently Added for your movie libraries.
