Latest Items - How do you increase the number shown

[craigvb 0]

Hey guys (gals),

 

I'm sure there's a setting somewhere for this and it's stupidly simple but I can't for the life of me find it  When you open the Emby server home screen via a browser you are greeted with a nice interface showing among other things "Latest Media". 

 

My problem is, this display only show's the latest 20 items, and I would like to increase the number shown to say 30-40 items. Any suggestions on how this is done?

 

Version 3.0.5781.2

 

I would update to 3.0.5781.4 but this appears to require a manual reinstall as my Update Now button does nothing >:-/ only just noticed that when I went to check the version number

ok, fixed the updating issue, seems either automatic updates or allow restart need to be enabled to use the upate button... not sure why that is would've expected if you were not auto updating etc this button would have been the way to go.  Anyhow, still hope to find out how to increase the number of latest items displayed

Only way is to edit the sections.js in Emby-Server\System\dashboard-ui\scripts.

 

look for

 

    function loadRecentlyAdded(elem, user) {

        var limit = AppInfo.hasLowImageBandwidth ?
         16 :
         20;

 

Note this will get reset/replaced with ever update.

Any chance they'd consider adding an option to change the value in settings at a later date such that it would stay with subsequent updates?

You could always submit a request in feature request section.

@@craigvb did this work for you. I changed 16 to 15 and 18 but still get 16 after server restart and fresh login.

Is this still the only way to increase the number of items shown in the latest items widgets on the home page? Or is there a way to do it in the settings now? Thanks

Sorry not yet, the script file has moved around over the years and is currently in "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\dashboard-ui\modules\homesections\homesections.js".

 

But even with a setting each client still would do its own this as this only applies to the web client.

Ah, ok, that's a shame. Thanks for replying anyway
