Server Version#: Latest  
Player Version#: Latest  
I was on and off with the “Web Shows” feature in a Plex player. I turned it back on today but noticed that all shows are over 1 month old (go to “All Shows” and sort by date in descending order). So my questions are as follows:

1. Where does Plex get its show list from?
2. Can it be customized in sense of adding shows which are not listed?
3. Is it by any chance driven by YouTube?
4. And finally, is this feature actively supported or is it slotted to be axed in a new future?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

I believe it’s manually curated by Plex.

Not directly by the end user. There’s request thread here: [Web Show Suggestions](https://forums.plex.tv/t/web-show-suggestions/315475)

I’m not sure but probably not entirely if at all.
