Can I Share CERTAIN Tv Shows and Movies in My Directories?

[Methodman104 10]

Hello, I am still learning about Emby and getting used to it. I like it so far, but was wondering how and if I can get other viewers to access only" certain or select" tv shows and movies from my server instead of the entire TV show or Movie directory I set up?

 

Example, let's say I want to add my family to my server and have them watch only 20 movies that I selected out of my entire collection of movies, is that possible? I don't want to share the entire movie directory. /same for tv shows.

I am trying to avoid re-creating copies in new directories to add the select content on my hard drive because that will create duplicates and take up too much space on my hard drive. So I would like to do this without creating entirely new directories and pasting those files in them just for other users on my hard drive.

Thanks.

You can either use Folder-based access control, as explained here:

Or Tag based access control, as discussed here:

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/72742-4200-restrict-by-tags/

Both of them would require slight manual shuffling, but for 20-odd items, I reckon Tags should work well enough. 

Cheers

Thanks, I will try one or both of these methods.
