Please do not roll this feature into the Manually Managed Area.
The Continue Watching row was always unified. It displayed content you were int he middle of watching across all library sections. If there is a desire to unify rows, please return to the unified Recently Added rows instead of giving us a separate recently added row for each TV section or each Movie section.
The Wallpaper/Fanart for Continue Watching is superior to the Plex UI just relying on posters. That banner of fan art looks way better than just another row of posters.
Both automatic and manual homscreen management is broken as discussed here: Manage Home Screen Automatic & Manual. I’d still love an official explanation why under the manual management screen we have options for Recently Added Music, Photos, Videos, Movies, and Games for my TELEVISION library (Apple TV, most recent beta).
Since Plex continues to adopt this client side customization this (once rolled out) will add more issues for Plex users with less tech savvy family members who will then have to babysit multiple player apps to ensure content is displayed properly.
It’s nice that Plex wants to push it’s streaming service and cater to people sharing multiple servers but there needs to be some consideration to the confusion and headaches this is causing.
This really just feels like another unification/design change prompted by the streaming business.
