Splitting library?

I've tried to find guides on how to configure the Emby server so that the movie library is split into two sections; Movies and Kids Movies.

With MB2 I just had a directory for Kids Movies and one for Movies.

 

With Emby all my movies are added to the same library. 

 

Can I split the Emby movie library according to directories on the server? How do I do that?

Go to user icon top right click it then settings-Home Screen

 

Look at the notes for My Views.

Thanks, but I'm not able to get it to work.

 

My Libary within the Emby Server has Movies. Under Movies two directories are added.

 

On the emby server I select Home.

I see all the movies mixed together (Parents and Kids content).

I select the user icon in the upper right corner > Settings.

Then I pick Home Screen tab and scroll down to My Views *

I check the item "Display a folders view to show plain media folders".

Save settings.

 

When I go to the front I can select "Folders". Then I have the option Movies, TV Series. If I pick Movies I see Parents and Kids movies mixed.

 

I do understand that the Library and meta data is much more flexible. Is there a way that I can get emby to use the directory to update the library meta data to classify movies under \\server\kidsmovies as kids movies?

Create two libraries: Movies and Kids Movies. i.e Each directory is its own library.

 

Then you can separate their views.

Thanks Happ2play - that's exactly what I'm trying to achive. Just haven't figured it out yet. Where are you in Emby on the first screen shot?

 

Koleckai - how do I create multiple Libraries. On the emby server I have Library. I'm adding directories and setting a type like movie. I can't spot the place where I define additional libraries.

 

Admin - my library looks like this:

Doh!  :rolleyes:

Now I get it. Create new library and setup Kids Movies.

Now I get a split on the home screen for Movies, TV series and Kids Movies.

 

Thanks for the help!
