How to reduce the number of TV series showing on home page


Recommended Posts

Posted

With over 40 different TV series loaded on the server, it is getting hard to go through them all to find the one you want.   How can I reorganize my libraries to reduce the clutter on my home page.   My wife doesn't want to have to tab through all my TV shows she never wants to watch just to get to the ones she wants.    I know my Star Trek and Deep Space 9 series all show under the Star Trek option as I have them in the same file?   Could I move all my tv shows into a folder Frank and then they would all be there instead of having her tab through them?   May need to divide the movies up in the future as well.

Are you using one user account, or do you each have a user account?

Only 1 user account

Nothing will really help on Home Screen as that is a global view of all latest items.

With only one account your only options would be physical organization of media and using Folder view on one library.  Or creating two separate libraries one for each user.

With separate accounts you could tag his or her media and restrict user to that tag.

Or Tag all his or her media, favorite that tag then all you have to do is select Favorite and the favorited tag to see all media.

While that separates the TV series would I need to create a second folder for movies and move those that user doesn't want to that?

That's entirely up to you.  You can (1) split the libraries up so that each user (even using the same login) can choose which to look at - or (2) if you give the users separate logins, you can restrict which libraries each login sees; or you can (3) divide the media into multiple folders of each type, then specify all the folders of that type to be part of the same library, and then restrict (different) users' access to the folders as required - that way, if logged in as themselves, they will see the same libraries as you, but with restricted contents.  Or you can (4) keep everything together, but tag some media and show your user how to select only tagged media (e.g. tagged with their name) to be shown.  You choose.
