Yea I don't feel right doing that personally, it's not my plugin/project. I think it's best if @chef created the topic in the plugins section.

He's saying create a topic for your issue with the plugin in the plugin forum.

He's not asking you to create a single topic for everyone's thoughts or issues with the plugin.

Haven't been around the forum in a while but am I correct that as of March 2023 this feature is still not available? Didn't see any other threads on this with more recent posts.

Just the plug mentioned above.

Do we know if this is being officially added at any point as a standard feature within Emby and if yes any ETA? @Luke

[KobayashiM 11]

My guess is no considering this has been a long standing feature request. As much as I like Emby there are some puzzling basic features that are missing.

Hi guys,

Ultimately we want this to be handled by smart views where you can design your own views based on a saved filter set and sorting... however since we're not there yet, we're going to add this to the upcoming 4.8 server release as a configurable home screen section, so look for it there.

[Luke 40136]

TLDR: This will be in Emby Server 4.8, and actually, it doesn't require a server release, so you'll start seeing this option in Emby apps sooner than that.

Excellent news, and thank you for the update!

Just an update for those still looking for Recently Released Movies section in the Home Screen.
4.8.0.57-beta added the option to the Homescreen section in the App settings

WARNING: Upgrading to beta is not reversable without a proper backup. You will not be able to switch back to 4.7 stable. You should be able to switch to 4.8 stable when it is released, but no guarantees .

If you were using SmartPlaylist plugin to display Recent Releases on Homescreen, or for anything else for that matter, it currently does not work in 4.8, at all.

Massive thanks to @Lukeand the rest of the team.

My bad, Just updated and noticed the new section, checked the changelog for 4.8.0.57 and it was listed there, did not realise it was a cumulative changelog.

P.S. There is no option to hide watched from New Releases, unless it's elsewhere. Can this be added or is it out of scope for this?

More options are certainly possible for future updates. Thanks.

Yes I know, Although the Android Standard application has improved a lot, I still feel more comfortable using the Android TV application. Thanks!

My apologies.  It was the Roku beta these went in.  For these new sections on Android you will need to use the standard app at this time.

If you refer to Recently Released Movies Home Screen row - yes, it is available in 4.8+ stable.

Which task? There's no separate scheduled task for that.

Ah I see, do we get any control over it and / or a media library folder like the plug in we had...
