Getting a specific "title for a section" only on Startpage?

Question

I have a website which shows alle posts from my wordpress on the startpage. thanks to Stephen Harris who helped me with this code I put in the functions.php:

add_action('pre_get_posts','wpse57309_alter_front_page_query');
function wpse57309_alter_front_page_query( $query ){
     if( $query->is_main_query() && is_front_page() ){
         if( !$query->get('post_type') ){
             //post type is not set, the default will be an array of them:
             $query->set('post_type',array( 'movies', 'music', 'featued'));
         }
     }
}

Now I have another problem: I am getting the titles for each section by using this code here:

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php echo $post->post_type; ?>

in between h2 tags - but now on Startpage I get different names of the post type - but I'd like to have just: "Home" as Title... I tried it with is_home() and with is_front_page() but I had no luck.

Also the "post_type" is set to one specific on this page.

I have built in a filter which filters on click the posts using a &style=soul

but on startpage its now always one specific post_type. I guess its the last post's post_type...

Maybe someone has a hint?

I think perhaps what you want is either

<?php if ( !is_front_page() ) : ?>
   <h2>
      <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
      <?php echo $post->post_type; ?>
   </h2>
<?php endif; ?>

if you've done a custom front page that shows the blog posts, or

<?php if ( !is_home() ) : ?>
   <h2>
      <?php wp_reset_query();
      echo $post->post_type; ?>
   </h2>
<?php endif; ?>

if your front page is a static page and the post list is on a blog page or you have the vanilla setup.

This will output the post type heading on all pages that run the template except the home page or the front page.

or

<?php if ( is_page('my-page-slug') ) : ?>
   <h2>
      <?php wp_reset_query();
      echo $post->post_type; ?>
   </h2>
<?php endif; ?>

if you have this on some other specific page.
