runtimesandbox 152 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Just a further point, for me this is only really an issue for films as TV series are usually the latest episode released and there is already the "Next Up" section. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffyToesToo 280 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Right. Good point to add.

PuffyToesToo 280 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) So what I did was create a separate category where any movies released within the last 4 months or so are considered 'New Releases'. Personally, I definitely prefer this, and it seems a workaround ( although a bit of a pain to keep moving files from different folders) that I will use until we hear whether or not this is being considered for development...?

Luke 37022 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 This type of thing will be possible in the future to create on your own with the introduction of smart views/playlists. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

computerprep 142 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Wondering if these smart views, or smart playlists are on the horizon still. Edited September 16, 2019 by computerprep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikinjo 162 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Please allow more "freedom" to create custom sections like this, i would like to see something like "admin recommends" section where admin can select what to show in that custom category. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4223 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 +1 .. for those of us adding to older collections or adding older movies, the ability to have the 'latest releases' in it's own section seems like an obvious OPTION to have (just choose the section and select it from the Home Screen drop down). Yes I can just edit the metadata to easily to force it to disappear - but this starts to get tiresome. As a compromise, the other option is simply to have the OPTION of using the Original Release Date as added date instead of todays date in the Library>Advanced>Date added behaviour for new content. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbjtech 4223 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) The TimeLord plug-in does that now. ok - but not sure why a simple core feature needs to be a 'Premium' paid for plug-in, which as I said is a compromise anyway. I don't WANT to lose the date I added the media, but you are forcing us to use the plugin to modify it because it's the only way to properly show the 'new releases' vs 'added media'. I want to see both .. Your main competitor has this obvious feature as standard, so really not sure why you don't just include it out the box ..

jonboyuk 12 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I just wondered since this goes back to 2019, is there a way to have my latest movies show up, so the most recently released one appears first? See my awesome image below. It's something I had on DS Video from the Synology server which I love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I think the best way to accomplish this will be with smart views/playlists. A dedicated feature for this will be unnecessary when you could just design it via a smart view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I am a +1 on having it added to showing by Date created on our hard drives, and by when we scanned it in to Emby, SO this being a third option to show by release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a 3rd party plug-in called Time-lord that can change all your items' added dates to release dates which would do this for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I did see this, but paying for such a basic feature seems a little perverse. It's not as if the content doesn't already have the metadata for their individual release dates. Surely it's a very basic query to fetch and display that data in a more customisable way. No biggie though, just curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a great plug-in I use called 'New Releases', which accomplishes this for me (if I understand your request correctly). It provides a separate row that features only New Releases in it and you can customize the date cut off point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
