Guest Arg Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Hi, It would be great if each user could tag any file into an "Ignore list". Then these files would disappear and could only be seen in an "Ignore list" section (maybe next to the Favorites link on the top of each section). Thx Edited December 2, 2017 by Arg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 If it is being ignored, why would it have a special section in the main UI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arg Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Well, if I ignored some media by mistake (or if I suddenly change my mind), it would be useful to have a list of the ignored files somewhere.

Guest Arg Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 OK I will just create a directory per user and dump all the files I don't want to see there. But it's not a practical solution (using the command line every time) compared to a simple ignored checkbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkayenro 1 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) it would be nice to have something that allows you to ignore a show, and unignore (just as with played/unplayed) so that when you have multiple users i can block out the shows they like but that i have no absolutely interest in seeing. a simple filter option for it would be fine. using played isnt exactly viable (i've tried) as when a new season of that show starts it pops up in your list of things to watch - because you played it so you must want to see it again logic single account systems would obviously have no need for this but it would be very helpful in multi user systems - i dont need to see those reality/romance shows, nor do other users wish to see all my sci fi shows. not sure why this hasnt been requested more often unless multi user is an exceeding low use case for emby, or people using it have the exact same tastes in shows?

Why don't you use tags and tag-based access control (per user setting) for that? Edited September 20, 2021 by GrimReaper Append Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Or, physical structure with our folder-based access control can work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is per user setting, so you can easily block/unblock multiple tags: those for you, those for any particular user or common for multiple users; it is extremely flexible, you can play with any combination you fancy. Edit: To apply/remove tags on multiple items, you can find great community-made tool here: Just check on the latest posts, updated version is usually somewhere there.

Don't know how else to explain, it is per user rule and applies only to that particular user. Once you change your mind for ANY item, just remove rule/tag from that item.

arkayenro 1 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) parental controls only allows you to not see items with certain tags, so i presume that is not the "rules" that you are talking about? are "rules" a premium feature? i cant seem to find them anywhere. using tags for this purpose means the user must be given admin rights to the library (so they can edit the metadata) - not something i really want to do for them to undo the parental controls to remove a blocked tag they also need to be a server admin - again, not something i want to do having an ignore/unignore or hide/unhide option would be a much simpler way to handle this. the intent after all is not to completely deny them access to this media but for them to have a way (that does not require special permissions to undo) to not see certain media that they **currently** have no intention of watching, but may change their mind about that later.

No, that's it, you as an admin should set those up. 48 minutes ago, arkayenro said: the intent after all is not to completely deny them access to this media but for them to have a way (that does not require special permissions to undo) to not see certain media that they **currently** have no intention of watching, but may change their mind about that later. Tbh, I find that the inverse logic of how it should actually work, with them deciding what they DON'T want to watch instead of what they DO want - and for that there are multiple ways: adding to Favorites and Playlists, neither of which requires special permission nor Admin rights. And they would only ever see what interests them. My 2c. Edited September 21, 2021 by GrimReaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
