This is the single most annoying and limiting thing about Plex. I have a lot of folders filled with videos that I do not want scanned for metadata and/or found in TV shows or Movies. I like browsing movies by poster art. For “other videos”, I need to be able to browse and list them based on folders and file names. But if I choose Grid for one, it’s grid for both, and vica versa. Why?
Why can’t we have independent list options for movies and other videos? If I use grid view, it renders my other videos basically useless, as browsing that many items using grid view for me is pretty much useless. So then I have to browse my movies by filename. Why can’t I just use one setting for one and a different one for the other?
This is the only thing that keeps me from retiring my htpc running Kodi and using my PS4 for all my media viewing. I already use my PS4 for Netflix, I would love to be able to rely on plex on my ps4 for all my media viewing needs, but this one supremely annoying limitation prevents me from doing that.
