Home screen section requirements

[gong700 4]

Because I need to show my users “Recently released movies and TV series（Tv shows）”. For movies, there is an option of "Recently Released Movies" on the Home screen, but there is no such option for TV series. So, dear Emby team, could you please add a "Recently Released Tv shows" option on the Home screen?

Is anyone paying attention to this post?

Hi.  Like all feature requests, we will monitor this for interest.

Thanks.

I would assume it would be exactly the same as Latest TV as it will show the show you just added episodes for first ie Latest Episode date added, correct?

But a real definition of "Recently Released Tv shows" would need to be established as are we talking about a Show or the Episode added?  Same as the only difference in the "Recently Released Movies" is it is by Release date and Latest is by "date added"

I wouldn't think so, I'd expect it to list TV shows based on Latest episode date aired/released, regardless of its Date added, as Latest row does.

So a duplicate of a row that already exist.  I guess then one could eliminate Latest Rows would be the only benefit.

Not a duplicate. 

Show A: Last episode aired: 15/04/25 Added: 18/04/25

Show B: Last episode aired: 16/04/25 Added: 17/04/25

Latest row: A—>B

Recently Released TV row: B—>A

Recently Released TV row: B—>A

Pretty sure that is exactly what my Latest TV row already does.

It shouldn't, it should be based on Last Episode Date Added, not Last Episode Release Date. 

Edit: To make it more extreme:

Show A: Last episode aired: 12/06/19 Added: 18/04/25

Show B: Last episode aired: 16/04/25 Added: 17/04/25

Latest row: A—>B

Recently Released TV row: B... (A would likely not even be in the list)

Okay I know why mine has always been that way as I have Timelord so nothing in Emby is by date added it is always Release date.

This would have even more overlap than the Latest/Recently release movies section because there is no "lag" in home releases for TV like there is for movies but, also, we would have to define what is "recently released" in the context of a TV show.

Is it latest episode or first episode?  An argument can be made for both but first episode would produce the least amount of overlap with the "latest" row.

So should it be Premier date of Tv show, regardless of episodes added date.

But then a show with many seasons would always be buried behind everything newer.

Right but what is the point of this row if we don't do that?  it would almost always be the same as the "Latest" row...

So, using actual series premiere date gives you a row of brand new series.

[GrimReaper 4739]

I don't doubt userbase will be split on this one, as it so often happens. 

I reckon it all falls down to what would the actual scope ultimately be: accurately reflect episodes Release dates, avoid overlapping with Latest row as much as possible or show TV shows only regardless of episodes/number of seasons?

There is if you're getting them on disc, and/or ever add old shows. I recently added Seinfeld to my server, for example.

Yes, but that is the odd case not the common one.

No you don't - you could just tell them,  given that it's only a few friends or family surely?

And there was me thinking that Emby was for legitimately acquired media?

TV shows are broadcast and can be legally recorded.
