Feature Request: Home Screen Customization

[ScubaShneve 2]

Right now, the home screen for Movies seems bare.  Personally, I am not a fan of the categories at the top.  I would love to be able to add and custom order side scrolling lists on the main page.  (Think Netflix style)  I saw this post 

and liked this guy's idea of "Justin's Picks" and other custom lists that you could manually add movies to.

On the server side, it would be nice to have a list to order and add/remove to like:

- Latest Movies

- Continue Watching

- Custom List(s)

- My Queue (Idk if favorites is supposed to be this or just movies you like)

- Genres (As the person watches movies, genres associated with those movies start showing up.  You could set a # of genres to be shown and the more watched genres replace the less watched ones.)

- Holiday (You could set a name, a date range, and genre, then movies with that genre show up here during that time period.)

- Popular Movies (highest views by all users)

- Highly Rated Movies (highest number of favorites)

Hi, there are no custom lists, but you do have latest movies and continue watching.

I create a library for Holiday movies and highly rated movies (Blockbusters) so that they do get their own section on the home screen.
Have you tried that?

Popular movies will of course depend on the user.  For this I use Emby favorites so that I can always switch a view to only see those items.

In addition, I reckon a lot of those could be covered by SmartPlaylists, same as in the other thread:

At least an option to add “Playlists” into the Home Screen Secondary sections would help with this and shouldn’t be overly complicated because it would be a shortcut to the already created playlist by the user.
