Ability To Delete TV Shows But Not Movies?

[urbnsr]

Server Version#: 1.21.0.3616
Player Version#:

I find in the server’s Library settings an option to Allow Media Deletion. This seems to affect Movies and TV shows.

Is there a way to allow deleting of TV shows, but not movies? I realize I could probably change the file attributes of all the movie files to read-only, but I would rather not.

Thanks

Some of the content is temporary and it’s more convenient to delete it after watching rather than chasing it down at the file level on the server itself, AND I don’t want to risk having content deleted from other libraries.

Change or add "Allow media deletion" setting from only a global option to an individual library option

(tl;dr below) Context: Up till now my use of Plex has been pretty vanilla. And, of course, by “vanilla” I mean “not at all.” There was always some deal-breaking lack of functionality or flexibility or bug that made using it more of a hindrance than even a basic tool. And as much as I HATED google play, it provided a terrible -but better- experience than plex. But, I’ve been hopeful and continued testing the waters every year or so and now with the addition of plexamp, my transition to a syn…

Allow deletion of files per folder/lib

It would be great if the option were avaliable to restrict deletion of media to specific libs or folders. i.e. DVR folder but not Movies… Thanks
