It does that for collections with >15 items if you opt-in under Libraries & Cards

Nice.  Playlists and Collections don't behave the same way under these settings so I had missed that. Thank you.

This has exclusively been my daily driver for multiple days now. The app works really good. Couple of things that I've been noting while using that I want to mention.

1. I like how playlists look now with the list on the left and info on the right, however the sorting does not work. You can go in and sort by release date, title, etc and it will change, but if you back out and go back in the sorting doesn't "stick" it reverses back to whatever the default is. 

2. There is nowhere (at least that I can see) to remove something from a playlist. In the official Emby app you can hold down on a show title and remove it from playlist. This does not exist in Arloes. 

3. The collections category still has it's original look from when the app was introduced with the posters scrolling across the bottom. IMO, it should look the same as playlists with the list on the left and info to the right in order for the app to have consistency. 

With these fixes I believe the app is ready for mainstream use. Other than needing to use Emby once to remove an item from my playlist, I have not opened it at all.

Thank you for your hard work Pejamas

Need more info re: playlists, I have a movie playlist, a tv playlist, a music playlist all from emby creation then a few test playlists from creating within arloes and the sort works fine and saves it through out app exits. What sort filter are using that doesnt stick? Have you tried other sort filters/all the confirm its globally etc.

It actually appears to have self-corrected. I'm not sure what changed, but I went in there just now to monkey around to try and get you some information and it's working now. I tried sorting my 3 playlists by run time from shortest to longest, and also by title and it appears to be ok now.

ARLOES 1.12.1 — 10 November 2026 (quick fix release)

Changes since 1.12.0.

NEW

• Series recording
  Record a series with your choice of new or all episodes, selected channels and start/finish padding.

• Remove from playlist
  Long-press an entry in a playlist to remove it. The item stays in your library. (just forgot to wire in the context menu for playlists)

IMPROVED

• Avatar menu
  Search, Settings and Account now appear in that order.

• Logo placement
  Thin logos sit closer to the information below in library and list views, while metadata stays at a consistent height.

FIXED

• Returning to Home
  Returning from an item restores focus to that item instead of jumping to the top bar or sidebar.

• IMDb rankings and MDBList ratings
  Moving between items no longer interrupts the Top 250 download. Cached ratings are kept when refreshes fail. If your API limit has been lifted, use Test key in MDBList settings to retry without waiting.
