Home and “Continue watching”

Which rows the Home screen has, what they mean and how to customise it.

Home is the entry screen. It consists of a featured header and several rows that only appear when there is enough data, so yours may have fewer than someone else's.

The Home screen
The Home screen

A carousel of “Featured” or “New” titles that advances by itself (every 8 seconds by default). You can adjust the timing or turn it off in Settings → Appearance → “Header auto-advance”.

The rows

RowWhat it contains
Continue watchingPartly watched movies and the latest episode of each series.
Continue liveChannels you watched recently. They are added after a few seconds of watching, not by channel-surfing.
New in your librariesWhat is new on your Jellyfin, Emby and Plex servers.
Recently addedThe latest additions from your sources.
Recommended for you and Because you watched…Suggestions based on what you have watched.
Trending and Top 10The most watched of the week (needs TMDB data).
Collections and Top ratedSagas and the best-rated titles.
My ListYour favourites.
Favourites / Recent channels / Live nowA row of channels; the title changes depending on what you have.
CategoriesUp to four rows of movie categories and two of series.

If there is nothing yet, Home tells you and takes you to explore. If you have no sources, the first screen is the “Add a source” assistant (How to add a source).

Card options

In “Continue watching”, the ⋮ menu on each card offers Resume, More info, Add to My List, Mark as watched / unwatched and Remove from Continue watching.

Customising Home

In Settings → Appearance:

  • “Home follows my filters”: the rows respect the filters you have set in Live TV, Movies and Series.
  • “Channels in ‘Continue watching’”: turns off the recent channels row. With “Clear recent channels” you empty it.
  • “Smaller channels on Home”, “Featured header” and more (Appearance).
