I used to have exactly what you did before someone fixed it in #895 and I do agree that the grammar itself is somewhat confusing and somebody brought that up before in #203 (but that was before the fix, so it is actually as expected now). However, we should be doing it the way it currently is to match the web.

I have ideas to implement a way to customize what sections+ordering to have on the home screen by the user and more. However, the user/server slight refactor I mentioned in PM is a prerequisite for that.

Ah ok. So what's the benefit of the 'recently added' section, just having both film and tv show in one list? Would you be against adding a 'Recently Released Movies' section?

Yeah you're right that the Recently Added is out of place since that doesn't have a web equivalent. That was added forever ago and only within the last little bit that I have been doing the "match the web" philosophy. Since the web doesn't have a type-specific section option it would also feel out of place.

I have been working on the exact specifications of how the customization feature would/should work and will report on that soon. As a part of it, the Recently Added section will be removed (when wanting to use the server defined home screen layout) but you'll see how the Recently Added and type-specific sections will be customizable.

Ah ok, makes sense.

Sounds good, looking forward to it then.
