User setting to adjust the number of items displayed in Latest...

[datanet 131]

Feature request.  Since it appears to be a client-side configuration, is there a possibility of adding a setting to adjust the number of Latest items that are displayed.  The number of items displayed seems to be different based on whichever client app you are using.  I realize you can go in to the individual libraries and sort by date added, but most of my family members rarely venture in to the individual libraries and then go and change the sort options.  They just automatically go to the latest items for each library and it doesn't take much for fairly recent items to get knocked out of view when there is only 20 items (or less) that are visible.   Making this number user (or app settings) selectable would be a great feature.

It is possible for the future.  The problem is that, no matter how we label it or how many warnings we display, people will turn that number up to 100 or something and then say Emby is garbage because it is too slow.

Understood.  Am I correct in assuming this would be a client-side setting?  I would think a warning of "Setting this number too high may affect performance" would be an adequate warning and then users could play around with the number that provides the best usability vs performance for their needs.

You would think so...  but just look around this forum at people complaining about things are slow or playback doesn't work and it is traced back to options with red labels under them warning them that changing that option could hurt performance or cause playback problems.
