Hide Downloads from Home screen

[bweb79 0]

Currently running Emby 1.9.2 (3) on iOS 13.3.1.

 

I can't figure out how to hide my downloaded videos from the home screen. I'm able to sort the home screen, but there are no options for the downloaded movies. Is there a way to do this that I am missing or is this something that can be added?

Hi, there's currently no option for this, but now that we have the bottom tabs to take you to downloads, we'll look at improving this. Thanks.

I was searching for this exact question and found this thread, glad to hear you're working on it.

+1 for Android or it would be at least be nice to move the Download section to another user defined spot like it is already possible for other media.

EDIT: I know there is the Android sub forum but I don't want to make multiple posts.

Almost 3 years later and still not possible? It is damn ugly those downloads on home/start screen. But I noticed this ain’t the only issue that will take years to fix/add. 
 

still no regrets of switching from PLEX to Emby, but please people….. don’t drop the ball.

News!?!?!??

Hi, more control over this is planned for future updates. Thanks.

Is this still not an option? We have a handful of tablets we share, and having downloaded kids shows taking space on the home screen, and not so kid friendly movies displayed on others, is really not great.

I really wish some time would be made for this, give a settings toggle to shut the downloads section on the main screen off

We have the downloads section across the bottom ribbon. This ugly section across the top is what's keeping me from using emby as a complete replacement for everything i do online.

Please add a hide control for the tab button.

Still an issue it seems, and the worst part is that if you download a show in its entirety, the last episode of the last season is the first thumbnail you see!!!

 

Trying to avoid spoilers? Too bad! Here's the most important scene of the whole show in your face every time you open the app! 

 

On emby for android.

Hi, yes, this is something we can look at adding. Thanks.

Adding my voice to the chorus. Not a fan of this dominating my home screen.

Please let me hide the „Downloads“ section.
