Uh oh… Well I’ll try it out when the play store beta link starts working for me but I’m glad I already have jellyfin set up.

Has anybody else been able to get into the beta and can report on how accessible personal media libraries are in the new app? I’m dreading having to remake my getting started guide that I send to friends with more steps than just “pin my library and unpin the ad supported crap”.

Edit:

For personal media pros, we’ve centralized media libraries into a dedicated tab. With the option to favorite libraries and easily access power-user features, it becomes a more personalized experience, with more exciting updates to come!

I hope this means pinning is just turning into favoriting to enable personal content to show up in the main views similar to how pinning currently enables personal media to show on the home tab… And hopefully you will still be able to remove the free ad supported content…

Edit 2 electric boogaloo:

They posted the APK so I’ve taken a look and here’s what I found that I think is important:

• Favorited libraries basically works the same as pinned libraries - so your personal media is mixed into the home screen just like the current app
• There is no unpinning of live TV or Plex free movies/shows so it gets mixed into the home screen by default, and from discussions in the forums it sounds like that isn’t planned (yet), so as it is now the only way to remove those is to disable it account wide in your Plex account. Not ideal so I hope they bring back unpinning.
