I’m throwing my vote behind this simply because a more automated solution is desperately needed.
That said, it would be quite simple to allow whole libraries to be shared without restrictions, and/or to make it optional to apply restriction files to certain libraries. Perhaps a checkbox to “ignore restriction profiles on this library” or something similar.
For instance, I want my kids to be allowed to watch anything in “Kids Movies” and “Kids TV”, but not everything in “Movies” or “TV”. When I apply a restriction profile, it restricts objects in the kid libraries for no apparent reason, even items that fall within the acceptable ratings. If i do the old fashioned way of applying tags, I forget to apply tags and then I’m away from the computer and my kids can’t access content. It’s a constant battle to update everything.
Surely there’s an easier way to manage this…
