Suggestions and Trailers Don't Match Library Content

[MBSki 1114]

I can't seem to find an option to modify this, but when I go to different libraries, the suggestions and trailers are showing content that doesn't match. A good example is my Kids Movies library. I'm expecting suggestions and trailers related to the content in the library, not content from my entire server. What's concerning about how this is currently working is that it's displaying inappropriate content to my 7 year old kids. See the attached. Is there a way to filter this? A flag to tell suggestions to just look in the existing library would be good, or for trailers a flag in the library to not grab movies above a certain parental rating. I don't see those options though.

Hi.  We cross libraries with suggestions because most people won't have a large enough set for it to work very well if it were restricted.  However, it should be respecting parental control.  Do your kids account have a maximum rating set?  Do the suggestions have proper ratings?

I haven't set up accounts for the kids. For simplicity, I use my account and different curated libraries that only contain content suitable for them. Makes it easy for my wife and kids to start things up when I'm not there rather than switching accounts all the time. So I think I'm looking for a library setting that would allow me to shut off the cross library setting for certain libraries. Or, maybe just in suggestions and trailers a setting to shut off "cross libraries". Is there any possible way to do that other than with different user accounts?

Ebr is right but looking at your screenshots i would agree that there's room for improvement here.

[MBSki 1114]

Ok, thanks. Is there something that I can do without creating new users though? Or is this a feature change?

[Luke 42083]

You could use parental control features to restrict content, although that may result in more content than you want becoming restricted depending on metadata.

[MBSki 1114]

Aren't parental controls only applicable to a user? id love to apply them to a library, but I don't see that option.

[Luke 42083]

Yes you would apply that to your kids user.

[MBSki 1114]

Ok, yea, that's what I thought. I'll submit a feature request instead. I'd much prefer that it be built into the Library or at the server level to simply shut off cross library suggestions and trailers.

I would agree with Suggestions, but trailers have nothing to do with your libraries and come from the Trailers plugin.

[MBSki 1114]

Yea, trailers being a plug-in makes it extra challenging. Couldn't the trailers instead just come from the trailers connected to the movies in my library rather than rely on the plugin?

It's always possible for the future.
