Open up the **Libraries** drop-down and untick all the non TV libraries. Finally, ensure that the **"Include next up episodes in Continue Watching"** option is selected. + +![](images/server/users119.png) + + +### Can I change the title of a Home Section? + +With the exception of the "Latest Media" Home Section type, for all others you can specify a custom title for the Home Section. + +> [!TIP] +> As an example you could split the view of your libraries using multiple "My Media" sections with different title. Furthermore, the "My Media" section type has view options of cards or buttons - so you can have some content showing with poster cards and some libraries in a different Home Section just having the smaller buttons. +> + +### What is a Spotlight view ? + +The Spotlight view which is available on a number of Home Section Types (see the [Home Section Types Matrix](#home-section-types-matrix)) gives an impressive large poster for each media item. See examples shown below in [Home Screen Examples](#home-screen-examples). + +### Where do Channels, Live TV, Web Streams, IPTV etc fit in ? + +These are treated as libraries and would be available in the libraries selections list. + + +### What filtering is available? + +This varies for Home Section Types. With the exception of the **"Latest Media"** section type, all sections that have filtering will have **Favourites** and **Tags** as filter options. Some section types will offer Genre and Studio filtering as well. See the [Home Section Types Matrix](#home-section-types-matrix) for the section types that have filtering on whether a media item has been played or not. + +### What can I achieve with the "Dynamic Media" Home section type? + +You can create a section for any of these types: Movies, Shows, Movies & Shows, Episodes, Music Videos, Videos, Photos, Programs, Live TV Channels, Music Albums, Artists, Songs, Audio Books, Trailers, Games, Books. You can select specific libraries and show the section as a Spotlight large poster view or the normal size poster cards view. Depending on the selected type, you have filter options, such as Tags, Genre, Favorites, Studio, playstate. The display can be sorted in many different ways. + + +### What is the "Continue Listening" section type for? I do not see my music there! + +The "Continue Listening" section type is for Audio Books. That is why the music does not show. + + +## Home Screen Examples + +Example of different **My Media** sections showing the main libraries as **cards** and others as **buttons**. In this example, there are five "My Media" sections with different libraries selected and a view type of Cards for the first three and buttons for the other two. + +![](images/server/users72.png) + +Example of a Single Collection Home Section: + +![](images/server/users101.png) + +Example of a Single Playlist Home Section: + +![](images/server/users102.png) + +Example of "Recently Released Movies" section with Spotlight view where each movie shows with a large full screen poster. + +![](images/server/users120.png) + +Example of a Dynamic view for Movies and Shows based on tags. In this example, created a tag "MyPicks" and assigned this tag to a number of Movies and TV Shows and created the dynamic view with a title of "This month's Picks" and filtering on this tag. + +View type: Spotlight + +![](images/server/users122.png) + +View type: Cards + +![](images/server/users123.png) + +And here is an example for a Spotlight view of a dynamic media section filtered by a tag and is set as the first section on the Home Screen.
