I agree… What folder was it again… I’m faced with that all the time…
You could if working with one big ass drive is make…
X:\TVShows – every thing is here, all ratings including TV-MA.
X:\TVShows\TV-14
X:\TVShows\TV-14\TV-PG
X:\TVShows\TV-14\TV-PG\TV-G
etc…
Give adults access to X:\TVShows, this will include everything you have.
And maybe give the teens access to X:\TVShows\TV-14 which will give them access to all TV-14 and below content.At lease all shows are in one place…somewhat…
Actually I would set it up like that except that I would have it more simply set so that content does not overlap by directory:
X:\TVShows\TVMA\ – every thing is here that does not fit in the other directories (1)
X:\TVShows\TV-14\ – Contains everything that is lower than TVMA and Greater than TVPG (2)
X:\TVShows\TV-PG\ – Contains everything below TV14 and greater than TVG (3)
X:\TVShows\TV-G\ – Contains everything below TVPG (4)
That would mean that you can respect Plex’s structure conventions.
Then I would set up four libraries:
LibraryAdult - includes all four directories
LibraryTeen - includes directories 2, 3 and 4
LibraryChild - includes directories 3 and 4
LibraryYoungChild - includes only directory 4
This takes advantage of the fact that Plex allows libraries to overlap. The each person can be a user and you can share the single library that they should have access to.
It seems to be the easiest solution that would work under Plex as it is.
That is exactly what I do (did) when my granddaughters visit. Of course now that they are 11 and 13 they are officially more mature than I so they have unrestricted access to my media. BTW: The younger GD is the more mature one of the two but they were so well behaved (Mommy is a school teacher and Daddy is a decorated Marine) that I never really had to restrict them. The only time I had to worry was when they had a slumber party and it got quite.
