MajesticFudgie 0 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Any news on this? It's December and I'd like to add a collection to the home screen of popular Christmas Movies that everyone can find right in front of them. Similar can be used to highlight TV shows etc. My current approach is creating a Christmas library and duplicating all the films into that. An ability to create home-screen collections or pin a collection to the home-screen would be a brilliant addition to Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8281 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Probably not until Smart Playlists becomes a core feature. Hopefully with the "Improve support for folders being used in multiple libraries of same content types" it will make sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean you could create a "Christmas Blu-ray" folder and add it to the regular Movies library, and also a second Christmas Movies library? Is that a new feature that didn't used to exist?

Is that a new feature that didn't used to exist? Sorry I don't really follow your example as you should be able to do what you described already. But may need more specifics (NEW) In my current test on 4.8.0.21 create Movie library C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Videos\Movies - DB created another library C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Videos\Movies - DB\Family (ie subfolder of parent library) Edited December 17, 2022 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qazwsx10 6 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 So I had the same idea as the OP and decided to search to see if it was possible on the forums. After reading through this thread, I'm a little unsure if it has been answered/possible or not... Could someone please shed some light please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alternate idea I was thinking of was creating a separate folder with all movies that I want to show up annually and then just show/hide when needed. Would you recommend anything else?

Luke 37059 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 That would require moving media to accomplish this, but otherwise should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk223 8 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) I'm not sure where it came from but today "Spooky Suggestions" appeared on my Nvidia Shield (Android). FYI it's not on my LG tv app. The menus are orange too. Kind of cool. Would be cool if this showed up earlier in the month so we could watch more movies before halloween. Also would be neat if this was done for xmas and done earlier than xmas day. Many start on the 1st of the month.
