Horizontal View - Honour settings for Latest Media and Continue Watching

[unisoft 352]

At the moment, horizontal view (TV) ignores the settings in the app that determine the section ordering on the main library homepage (where it makes sense).

If I have set "Latest Media" to be shown first, it ignores it, and shows "Continue Watching" instead then Latest Media/Episodes.

It really should do what vertical view does and honour what was set in App Settings for homepage.

Obviously it could ignore "Active Recordings" setting as not applicable when in horizontal view.

HI, the differences is you're looking at each library separately. There is no combined "home" section like the vertical screen has.

So if that were added to the horizontal view, then that's where all of those settings would be utilized. What you see now is more equivalent to clicking into a library and seeing the tabs there.

Can you not honour that setting for the ordering when detected in horizontal mode then?

I realise it could only be done for for the first two rows of that setting dialogue, because you only utilise "Continue Watching" and "Latest Media" in horizontal view for TV. If you just looked at the first two rows and they were either of those matching sections, it could honour it. If not one of those settings there in either row, just use default instead.

Actually I've finally gotten it done now so that the horizontal version will be the exact same screen and content as vertical, but just scrolling horizontally. This will allow all of those options to be supported, finally.
