Increase the number of media items in the list for the “Latest Media” section of the home page

[Mister_U 8]

Hi team,

I'm running Emby version 4.10.0.40 on a QNAP server, and I'm looking to increase the number of media items listed on the home page under the “Latest Media” category.

 

Unfortunately, there’s no option for this in the interface!

 

Can you please tell me which file to edit and what value to change?

QNAP, no idea.

Windows, shut down Emby. Find this folder -

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\dashboard-ui\modules\emby-elements\emby-itemscontainer

Rename the javascript file emby-itemscontainer to emby-itemscontainer_old and make a copy. Edit the copy in Notepad++ or whatever. It'll probably look like one huge line. Such is life. Search for 16 (there should only be one 16) and replace with 128 (or just pick a number). Save it and rename it to emby-itemscontainer. Make sure its still a javascript file.

Clear every cache you can think of and restart Emby and if you're lucky the limit in a browser (and only a browser) will increase to 128.

Hopefully you can do similar in/on QNAP. Note the hints about backups and not changing anything you can't change back.

Hey, would this work on Synology NAS server?

Why would this only work for web?

Are the apps controlling this them self?
Then maybe it should be able to edit the app somewhere?

Guess its controlled by the app. I think a dev said a while ago they were concerned that asking for too many items would affect responsiveness then they'd be getting complaints and be spending time bug fixing.

OTOH its available in the web (with bit of fiddling around) and there's a new app for Apple TV called Atrium being tested here where the limit is 128, not causing any problems, so far, touch wood.

No idea about editing app - difficult I'd imagine.

To bad, should just being a simple setting. But it is what it is. Can't everything we want

Very true. If you're bored and agree maybe you could 'like' the feature request ?
