Option to remove "Latest" homescreen library

[nilojr 2]

Hi Emby devs, i would like to request to have an option when creating a new library name to to be displayed on the homescreen as is. Like for example i created a new library named Coming this week and should be displayed on the homescreen as "Coming this week" instead of "Latest Coming this week". Hoping this to be included on the next update :). Thank you Emby team.

Hi, yes it's not a bad idea. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for acknowledging this thread. I switched from Netflix to Emby since it has user friendly GUI and lots of features. Waiting for more exciting features and developments on the next updates.

Hi.  You realize that the library is shown as is in "My Media".  The only time we append "Latest" to it is on the row that is showing the latest added content from that library (and you can remove that row if you wish).

Thanks, i noticed that too. But it would be nice if there's an option when creating new library for trailers or upcoming movies/series where it will be displayed as is on the homescreen.

Can you use the trailer plugin with it? so it would put youtube clips.

[nilojr 2]

You can also include local trailers inside the folder

You can play trailers directly without installing trailer plug in

So it goes by the date added? what if the date added was manipulated to a year prior would it delete the "latest"  and would it still show on the home screen where the "latest" is ?

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question.

There are two different home screen sections we're talking about here. One of them is "My media" and that shows a list of all your libraries.  Then there is "Latest media" and that shows a row for each library showing the latest content added to each one.

Ok thanks.

Is there an option to remove specific libraries from the "latest added" rows? 

Would be practical to have the Latest Added row only show latest added to chosen libraries, not all by default; 

Thanks!

There is.

Display in secondary home screen sections such as latest media and continue watching

Thank you, I saw that, and forgot that!

Any news on that ? It would still be nice.
I use symlink to create specific libraries, It's much better than playlists as it gives a nice Netflix like display. But the "Lastest B&W Classics" or "Latest Best of 23"  are bit upsetting.

Hi, what exactly are you asking about?

[Happy2Play 9444]

They like the Row but don't like the "Latest" prefix.

For the web client it is easy to remove with custom css or even edit the stings language files.

"LatestFromLibrary": "Latest {0}",

Sorry, I was indeed asking for an option to remove the world "Latest" from the homescreen library.
That's isn't much but I'm trying to make things as nice and clean as possible.

That's good to know thank you. Unfortunatly I only use the web client for administrative tasks. Familly and friends are all using ios or android app mostly.
