CBaldwinJ89 19 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Wondering if there's a possibility yet for the homepage to show each genre of movies with a random selected movies and some latest movies? I have been bouncing between plex and emby trying to find the best suit for me. I have a lot of movies. This option would be the best because then some of my older movies would get the dust dusted from them and actually watched now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37024 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hi there, can you show some screenshot examples of what you'd like to see? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outbound 1 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 like in the catagories of: next up, latest and continue watching- it would be cool if there was a "random pick". I'm not sure if that is what OP was asking, but thought I would put in my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaldwinJ89 19 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) I've attached something like the sort. On the home screen of emby you have multi options of sections, why not add more versatile selections. Home screen section 3 Movies - show latest Home screen section 4 Movies - show random Home screen section 5 Movies - show genre comedy Edited March 18, 2019 by CBaldwinJ89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBaldwinJ89 19 Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Yes and no. Couldn't find it when I searched, I think might we suggest ìs a good idea as well. But I implementing it in the home screen sections is the best options. And giving more drop down options like random, and genre based etc. I could create a little graphic for what I mean a little later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaldwinJ89 19 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Really like to see something done with this, too many movies are hidden deep within the archives of my database. I'd like to fulfill this even if it's a plugin where we have can have options for genre categories and randomly select nth movies. Or top movies you haven't watched etc. Is it possible to write a plugin like that to manipulate the homepage? I won't hesitate to try writing it I have knowledge in c languages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levander 96 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I would agree on more dynamic on home screen. Just assume one wants to have a definite library (no new content) which is quite large. If apart from continue watching home screen always shows only latest added items (as it is now) it is not only useless but annoying. Appearing random items, collections, persons and playlists would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffyToesToo 280 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 This would be a good way to also implement my request for "Featured" I think.https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/72493-featured-option/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel81 2 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I know this is an old thread, but this is something I would love to see implemented as well. I have a substantial collection of Movies and TV, and this would help myself, my family, and friends to pick something to watch without endless scrolling, to see if something catches the eye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
