force movie genres on the Home Screen?

Hi,

In the past I typically stored my movies in genre specific folders on my server, and then I created Libraries for each one (Horror, Comedy, action ect)

I started dumping my movies into one large folder and pointing emby to that. Easier to manage my movies that way.

Aside from going in and filtering movies by genre...is there a way to get emby to show movies by genre on the home screen? It would be nice to open the app and see a row of latest horror, comedy ect without having to create a library for each one

Currently no.  But to me that would be horrible adding 25+ more rows to the home screen.  It is only 3 clicks away. Library-Genre -specific genre

Ok keep them as libraries and turn on  Latest so each genre has its own line

but that will make the home page long....

Ok cool, I figured that...no biggy I can keep doing it the way I had been doing.

Might be a good feature request to be able to toggle certain genres off and on the home screen either way lol

This will be possible in the future with smart views/playlists. Thanks for the feedback.
