Seasons don't show for two emby users but do for others?

[bravoland 1]

i have one folder in a library called KID TV setup as Mixed Content

 

when i log into EMBY as myself i can browse the TV Shows and See the seasons.

 

when i log into EMBY as one of the USERS i have setup for my Kids when we go into any show that has Seasons there is no option under Seasons to select anything

 

 

i don't see any settings under USERS that would prevent this. any clues?

Hi there, what are the differences in permissions between the users?

Hey Luke, i was able to identify the problem ...perhaps you can help me solve it

 

i have a root folder called TV ARCHIVE

inside that folder is a bunch of sub catagories like HISTORY,NATURE etc.. one of those is KID TV

 

 

so i have one library setup for TV ARCHIVE

C:\TV archive

 

however i don't want my young kids to have access to ALL the Subfolders in there just the KID TV Subfolder

 

 

so i created another Library and point it to the Subfolder called Kid TV.

C:\TV Archive\Kid TV

 

 

if i just give them access to the KID TV Library the Seasons don't show.  if i go ahead and give them access to the TV archive as well then seasons do show but i don't want them to have access to all that.

 

 

is there a way to accomplish this?

Hi, you can't do this, you need to just have one library at the top, or several libraries for each of the sub-folders.

 

But you could just do the one library at the top and then take advantage of user access permissions to restrict sub-folder access for certain users. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Hey Luke

 

i am not finding a place to restrict sub-folder access for certain users.

 

where is that at?

 

i only show being able to select or unselect

The system is currently not designed that way.  As only library folders are selectable, so your attached folders would have to reflect the access you are trying to apply.

ok i understand that. the problem when i break down and put all subfolders as a different source is i lose the subfolder layout

 

currently

C:\TV archive as the one source shows all the subfolders and i can go into one of them

 

 

if i setup TV archive with multiple sources

C:\tvarchive\kidtv

c:\tvarchive\science

etc 

etc

 

then when i click on TV archive it just shows all the shows mixed together.  anyway to sort to keep the sources seperate?

yes, but only in the Folders tab of the TV library. Did you see that?

[bravoland 1]

i know what you are talking about i remember seeing the folders tab but i dont' see it know.  is there a setting i might have checked that turned off seeing the folder tab?

Actually you'd have to use the TV content type for that instead of mixed. When you click on the TV library, there would be a Folders sub-section.
