There is no documented global “turn off recommendations” switch in Plex for Android TV. To reduce what appears on Home, unpin unwanted sources in the app; to hide particular rows from a personal library, ask the server admin to change that library’s recommendation settings in Plex Web. Plex says pinned sources are a main determinant of Home content, while its Android TV setting called “Remember selected tab” only affects navigation. (Plex Support)

First identify which Plex source is filling Home

The right control depends on whether the unwanted items come from a personal library, Plex Movies & Shows, or another source. Also consider how broad a change you want: unpinning removes a source from your Home customization, hiding a library row changes what that library contributes, and disabling an online source removes access to it.

  • Personal library: unpin its source on Android TV, or have the server admin adjust that library’s rows in Plex Web.
  • Plex Movies & Shows: the account owner can disable the source in account settings.
  • Another online source: identify the source first. Plex lists Live TV, On Demand, and Discover among sources, but the documented Movies & Shows control is not a universal switch for every online recommendation type. (Plex Support)

Limit Home content on Android TV

Unpin sources you do not want on Home

  1. Open Plex on your Android TV and bring up the navigation sidebar.
  2. Open the sidebar’s edit or customization controls.
  3. Unpin sources whose content you do not want contributing to Home. Reorder the remaining pinned sources if you want to change their order.

Plex describes pinned sources as a main determinant of Home content. This is an app-installation customization, so it controls the Android TV app’s Home rather than changing recommendation settings for every user or device. (Plex Support)

Do not confuse tab memory with recommendation controls

The Android TV setting Remember selected tab remembers the last tab selected for each source, such as Recommended, Library, or Collections. It changes where you return when navigating a source; it does not hide recommendation rows. (Plex Support)

Yojaro 4Pack Silicone Suction Phone Case Mount, Silicon Adhesive Smartphones Stand Sticky, Hands-Free Phone Accessories Holder for Selfies and Videos (Black & White & Translucent & Light Pink)
  • 【Strong Adsorption】The inspiration of the silicone phone suction case comes from the adhesive force of the octopus. Each suction cup phone mount is 3.15 inches long and 2.17 inches wide, with 24 independent suction cups providing a stronger and more stable suction force, so you don't have to worry about your phone falling during use.
  • 【Back of Phone Suction Grip】Remove the adhesive film on the phone suction cup and stick it on the phone case. You can then fix the phone on any smooth surface, which is very convenient. (The phone suction cup cannot be removed and reused after being attached to the phone case. It is recommended to attach it to a regular phone case, not a valuable one.)
  • 【Widely Used】Our non-slip silicone phone sticky grip mount attaches to almost any flat phone case and make it compatible with common mobile phones such as iPhone and Android.You can shoot, watch videos or video calls in the kitchen, gym, dance studio, bathroom and other places.
  • 【Capture the Wonderful Picture】Whether you are a TikTok creator or just like to share videos and photos, this phone suction cup can help you hands-free capture wonderful videos and photos for sharing with friends.
  • 【Note】You can fix the phone suction cup on a smooth surface such as a mirror or glass. If necessary, wipe the suction cup with a damp cloth to obtain stronger suction. Before releasing your hand, make sure the phone is firmly fixed. (Not applicable to rough walls, wooden surfaces, and other uneven surfaces)

Hide personal-library recommendation rows in Plex Web

This change requires server-owner or administrator access. In Plex Web, go to Settings > Server > Manage > Libraries. Hover over the library you want to change, select Manage Recommendations, then adjust which rows appear in each destination:

  • Library Recommended controls rows on that library’s Recommended tab.
  • Home controls that library’s rows on the server user’s Home.
  • Shared Users’ Home controls rows shown on Home to shared users, including managed users.

Home rows from a library are shown when that library is pinned. The server admin can make the shared-user choice separately from the server user’s own Home settings. Available rows depend on the source type and the admin’s choices. (Plex Support)

Apple EarPods Headphones with USB-C Plug, Wired Ear Buds with Built-in Remote to Control Music, Phone Calls, and Volume
  • SUPERIOR COMFORT — Unlike traditional circular ear buds, the design of EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other ear bud–style headphones.
  • HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO — The speakers inside EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.
  • BUILT-IN REMOTE — EarPods with USB-C plug also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
  • COMPATIBILITY — Works with all devices that have a USB-C port.
  • INTEGRATED MICROPHONE — A built-in microphone precisely captures your voice while you’re on the phone, taking a FaceTime call, or summoning Siri — so you’re always heard loud and clear.

Use favorites to keep library content off Home

Plex also documents a broader option: if no favorite libraries are selected, accessible libraries remain available, but their content does not appear in Home recommendation rows. Selecting favorite libraries and setting their order affects which library rows appear and in what order. (Plex Support)

Disable Plex Movies & Shows if you do not want that source

If the unwanted recommendations are from Plex Movies & Shows, the account owner can disable that source under the account’s Online Media Sources settings. Plex provides an option to disable it for managed users as well. This removes access to the source; it is not a way to hide just one Movies & Shows row while keeping the source available.

Know what cannot be hidden with these controls

Continue Watching is the stated exception: Plex says those rows always appear on Home and on individual library Recommended tabs. The documented Manage Recommendations controls cannot disable them. (Plex Support)

After server-side row changes, the result may not show immediately because player apps can cache information. Refresh Plex Web; on Android TV, quit and restart the app so it can load the updated settings. (Plex Support)
