Merge Libraries for Specific User on Server

[feerlessleadr 173]

Hi - I currently use emby to serve content to my elderly parents who live in Florida. Needless to say, our taste in Shows & Movies are very different, so I have set up their own libraries under their username within emby, so that I don't have to have their Shows & Movies show up on my TVs at home. I have the following libraries set up for them, along with the folder paths):

 

• Movies (V:\Movies)
• TV (V:\TV Shows)
• Parent's Movies (V:\Parents Movies)
• Parent's TV (V:\Parents TV)

 

The Movies & TV libraries are comprised of the media that me, my wife, & daughter watch at our house, although my parents will watch certain shows or movies from these libraries, which is why I have given them access. The Parent's Movies & TV libraries are obviously media that my Mom or Dad asked to share with them, and are shows that me, my wife, or my daughter have no interest in watching. 

 

However, this presents a minor inconvenience, as whenever my parent's want to watch something that is in 'my' library (Movies or TV), they need to back out of the 'parents movies' or 'parents TV' and go into the regular movies or TV Show library.

 

Is there a way that for just this user, I can combine the Movies/Parent's Movies & TV/Parent's TV into a single library? This way when my parents go to Movies, they see all movies in all libraries, as an example.

 

Thanks

In the management UI (browser), select the user icon (upper right, to the left of the 'COG') > Home Screen .

 

note: this assumes you are logged in as your parents' user acc't.

 

- Scroll to the bottom of the page, under 'Automatically group content from the following folders into views such as Movies, Music and TV:'.

- Check the items you wish to group.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

 

I'm using emby v4.0.1.0, but this feature is no more presents.

 

Have you change the emplacement of this option or has it been completely removed ?
