Server Version#: 1.32.7.7621 It’d be nice (I personally think) to have one checkbox that completely disables all “recommended” tabs in all media libraries across the board. Short of that, maybe it can be done on a per-library basis? Or a per-client basis? (I’m hedging here - anything to make it …

[image] Get rid of recommended on server -Paying User Feature Suggestions As already mentioned in the existing closed feature request this is not going to happen. I’m going to leave this open but again there are no plans to do this sorry.

That’s a pretty dumb stance. The recommendation engine is only useful if the user is using Plex as a replacement for Netflix etc. I’d suggest a huge chunk of users don’t use Plex that way and just want a way to access their media. It’d be a trivial feature to implement and you bury it in the adva…

Unless you are telling your web browser to erase its cookies every time you close it, Plex Web will remember the last-used library tab. And so do most other Plex app types. So you will always land on the Library tab, once you’ve selected it on a particular device.

What is the purpose of having a blank recommended tab if you don’t use it? I like a couple of the Home Screen options but not enough that were forced to keep blank recommended tabs in the library. I’d rather remove the options than keeping unpopulated library tabs on the screen. I get the client is…

Plex, this is permanently ruining user engagement for a lot of novice users. They don’t see the “library” tab and assume that the recommendations screen is the only way to access the (few) media listed there. They simply assume the Plex server lacks adequate media, and stop using Plex after that. P…

+1 for this. I just spent a good while trying to work out why my media wasn’t showing up - turns out I was on the Recommended tab instead of Library. I only use Plex personally and know what I want to watch, so the Recommended tab being default just gets in the way. “Recently added”… yeah I know. …

Plex is currently undergoing the wonderful enshittification in the pursuit of money. Get used to it or switch to a different service. I’m making the switch soon.
