Add to my list (like netflix)

General Discussions Plex Features

I have a server with a couple of users that has their own favorites.

So I would like a feature that works a little like netflix favorite or what they call it.
But maybe more like youtube but on shows instead of videos.

So I just create a big library with all shows I got an give them access to it an after that the user can create their own library based on what shows they want to watch.

So maybe I do a library for horror and one for comedy maybe an another user can create their own like maybe “Urgent shows” and “not so urgent” and everyone set up their library as they like it.

As it is now I have to have one folder named “user1.user2” and one “user1.user.3” if they want the same shows but not the other users.

Hope you all understand what I would like.

And sorry for my bad English :slight_smile:

Have you looked into setting up a Plex home?

Kind of sounds like what you are asking for

This is how i use it today but the problem with this setup is that lisa and bart want some shows, homer and bart wants other shows.

Witch in this case i have to put for example simpson in a library all can access but got should be in a folder only included in lisa and homers library.

What i want is that all in the family should be able to access it all in one big library and if they like a show they can create a library for example lisa wants a documentery folder and bart want a fart folder.

I could solve it with a lisa,bart,homer,marge catalouge but then i have to have duplicates in for example homer and lisas folder if they like the same show.

Sorry for bad examples now since lisa and homer wont look at the same shows but i hope you get it :slight_smile:

My filetree now looks like this (and we are only two users).

Series
-both_urgent
-both_not_urgent
-Emma_urgent
-Emma_not_urgent
-Jonas_urgent
-Jonas_not_urgent
-The_rest

And in the librarys i include the first four and “the_rest” in her library and both_ and jonas_ and “The_rest” in my library.

The problem starts when you get tiered of a show or maybe i wont one of her show in my urgent then i actually need to move those files to the both_urgent so both of us can reach it.

And if i move a show i need a refresh in plex and need to update sonarr (show downloader) so it also can find the show.

So want i want is to make it simpler and up to the user what they want to watch without involving admin (me)

I think you are complicating things…

I have one Library /TV/ and everyone can see everything under there unless I restrict based on rating or labels.

You can use labels for certain items which will help you so you dont have to move stuff around and refresh.
