Create a "restricted access" library that is hidden by default


Recommended Posts

It would be nice if we could define a library as "restricted" where:

1. Newly created accounts do not have access to it by default even with "all libraries" checked, as adding it requires an additional check

2. Those that do have access to the library do not have it's contents show up on suggestions in the play next or continue watching 

3. That library is hidden from search, and otherwise it's contents do not show up unless you are viewing the library directly

4. If possible, make the restricted folder semi hidden, where accessing it requires a couple other steps like entering a pin code.

5. Possibly have the ability to disable IMDB/TVDB/etc metadata search and go solely by file names

 

This would be useful for using Emby to share private or confidential content with some accounts while ensuring that they are not seen by other accounts, and so when the allowed accounts are being used in a shared place the contents stay hidden unless directly accessed. This could be used for sharing confidential business content such as training videos or cherished family memories that you want to be visible only for trusted family members, or there could be other scenarios where this would be useful.
