Using a share in multiple libraries

[LeftForPlex 8]

Let me explain what I'm trying to do.  I have a library setup for my kids, and one for me.

 

 

Now there are some movies, like Smurfs, that my kids can watch, but I want those movies to be in my library as well.

 

My plan was to do this:

 

My Movies:

 

\\tower\BluRay\

\\tower\DVD\

\\tower\FamilyMovies\

 

Kids:

 

\\tower\Kids

\\tower\FamilyMovies\

 

However when I try to add FamilyMovies to the second library it says it "Already exists in the Library".

 

How would I go about doing this?  Should I setup another Share which just symlink's to that other directory? 

 

Thanks!

if those are two user profiles that should be fine

I would do the following, create 2 accounts. The main account would have all of the collections in all shares.

The second account for your children, I would not make it an admin account, i would put parental ratings and not allow movies that are not rated. I would also not use the default library and create a unique library just fort he children.
