Thanks! You can enable “Show YouTube root folders at Emby’s top level”.

Already checked on but with no luck

I’ve just published a new release that should fix this. Please update the plugin and restart Emby Server. Then add a Latest Media row in the Home Screen settings and select only the YouTube library. With “Show YouTube root folders at Emby’s top level” enabled, each YouTube channel should now appear as its own row.

I've been able to deduce on Windows client app, this happens, but not on ios or on my web browser on windows. Why would this be?

I’ve just released v2.0.8.10, which fixes an issue where the YouTube player or an ad could remain active and continue playing over the next Emby item.

Which Emby Server version are you using? Separate rows for each YouTube channel require Emby Server 4.10+, which is currently beta. On 4.9, only top-level channel folders are supported.

The titles are present, but the thumbnails are missing. They may appear after “Refresh Internet Channels” finishes and the client is reloaded. If not, please send the plugin log.
