We need more netflix like hubs on the home screen

Can we please get some more hubs similar to how the netflix home screen is. I love the “Top Movies in (Genre)”, and “Top Movies by (Director)”. We need more of these they help find new stuff so much more easily. Adding a suggestion hub based on watched content would be amazing, stuff like that would put your service even further ahead than emby or jellyfin. I have to use PMM to do this kinda currently but it’s not the same since I would have to constantly update and having too many of them pinned will clog the home screen with a giant section of only movies and at the bottom other content like tv.

Check out Settings > [Server Name] > Manage > Libraries to configure which hubs/recommendations of a library should show on the library Recommended tab or the home page itself.

You can even publish your own collections (incl. smart collections based on your own definition).

There’s an existing feature suggestion discussing an option to get recommendations based on what you’ve watched / liked. For that scope I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

Yes I’m aware of all of these features, I was just requesting Plex came preconfigured with more hubs on the home screen kinda like netflix. Netflix typically has new and updated rows with fresh content everyday that you can’t really achieve with pinning collections.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re suggesting.
The Top Movies in {Genre} or Top Movies by {Actor/Director} hubs will keep changing to different genres, actors, directors respectively. Or are you looking for some kind of “rotation” of different (changing) hubs?

As for new/different content – you can e.g. have a smart collection randomly sorted and limited to let’s say 5 or 10 movies (plus whatever criteria like your own rating, last watched… you want to apply)… this will give you quite a range of suggestions :wink:

But again… maybe I’m simply not understanding your suggestion right.

I was requesting that plex make more of these hubs pre configured, so the community doesn’t have to rely as much on smart collections for making there own.

Got it… any specific hubs you’d like to see added?
Don’t forget to vote for your own suggestion!

I absolutely do NOT want more “pre-configured” hubs from Plex

I’d downvote if I could.

As long as they can be disabled and removed like the other hubs can then I’m okay with plex adding anything they want.

Different stokes for different folks and all that.

Sorry for the late reply. I think mainly suggestions based on what your watching/watch history would be a main one. Stuff like trending rows, a My list row integrated with stuff you put in your watchlist. Some more rows by genres, actors, directors.

Why do you not approve of this? You can always unpin them of course.
