Blam84 13 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) Being able to specify Collections or even Genres that are allowed/not allowed for specific users would be helpful in the "Parental Control" setting. Only having maximum allowed parental rating isn't as helpful. Edited May 3 by Blam84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkassassin07 434 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 You can whitelist/blacklist items from users by adding tags to those items, then allowing access to only items with the tag(s) or only items without the tag(s).

The parental rating is designed for exactly what you are trying to do - restrict based on content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parental rating system is far from flawless. Emby makes it hard to adjust metadata for items in bulk. Collections and Playlists are my easiest options, hence my suggestion.

If your real issue is easier bulk metadata editing, then that is a different issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think being able to give users specific access to collections or playlists would be helpful to me. If the Devs or others disagree, please disregard.

The issue there is that would be ambiguous. An item can belong to multiple collections and playlists so there is no way to derive access control from that structure. An item could be in one collection that is blocked and another that is allowed. So, I'm just trying to provide a way to get to what you really want within the system. Thanks.

Knowing what I now know about custom parental guidance ratings helps. I am one who favors granular control, so being able to restrict people from viewing certain content in an easy way is what I'm after. It seems that tagging those items might be my best option. So in that case, what is the easiest way to tag media in Emby in bulk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
