Can the number of Latest Movies be increased? - Six66Mike - 2023-10-09
I just added a few dozen films, but when I look at Latest Movies, it only shows 18 titles. Is there a way to increase this anywhere in the settings?
I believe latest TV shows have a limit of 99 episodes before they no longer appear in Latest Shows. 18 films seems like an awfully small number.

i am pretty confident the limit you are seeing is hardcoded in the source and thus would need a compile to change
i was unable to locate any user-configurable settings for this
the line is located here - https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/blob/master/src/components/homesections/sections/recentlyAdded.ts#L24
perhaps user configuration of this would be a good use of a 'feature request' if you are not in a position to recompile

Thanks. I had a search of Fider and there doesn't seem to be an existing request which surprises me. I think there are two possible ways to approach it.
1. Continue with a set number, and let the user define that number.
2. Change to date-based additions, and allow users to control that number. i.e. Anything "recent" is content added in the last 30 days, and let users change that to 60 or 90 days, or whatever number they want.
Defining recent is ultimately what the request will be. Some users add regularly, others add in bulk at longer timeframes. So by giving user control, it makes Recent more meaningful.
I've dropped 2 requests:
Increase number in code - https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/2373/increase-number-of-titles-for-recently-added
Change to a user-defined setting - https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/2374/allow-users-to-define-recently-added-settings-in-the-dashboard

i like the way you are thinking, a simple number limit may be more readily implemented
but in the long term use of both may be good
if newer than x days but limit to 30(?)
if newer than x days but include up to 30 if there are less than 30, so you dont end up with a short list
user configurable for each

Let's see if this gets any action
