[Feature Request] Share Restricting (enhanced labels to exclude labeled movies from specifc users)

Feature Suggestions
1

Bulk/mass labeling was implemented, however, it does not make it easy to restrict a handful of movies from specific users. 

 

Use case: Family sharing, there are some specific R rated movies, not all, but some specific ones that I dont want family users seeing, I'd mark those as "restrict" and only I should will see them in my library.  

 

In order to accomplish the above currently, I'd have to label everything BUT those movies as "family friendly" and share that label with users.This method sucks. :) going forward Id have to label all new non restricted movies, etc. etc. 

 

I'm thinking this isn't too crazy to implement. 

 

See previous home sharing enhancement thread - for reference

Another way to accomplish this is to change the rating of the questionable "R rated" films to a different rating (NC-17, R+) and do not share those rated films with the family.

Yeah but this is just as inconvenient. There simply needs to be exclude filters on the sharing setup.

An OK workaround, but not clean, thanks for the heads up though.  

Do you think this feature is something not worth implementing because of this workaround? Thoughts?

You can do bulk changes to rating, so it would take the same amount of time to change the ratings as it would to add a "restricted" label.

For how I use plex this "work around" is simple enough to use so for me I would prefer DEV time spent on other features.

But I do not get to make those choices :)

understood, if this feature somehow takes up iOS plex DEV time, then I COMPLETELY agree with you :p

While I agree that it's more development ... I think it's a valuable and likely trivial feature. Workarounds are just that ... workarounds.  Mass select and de-select specifics works of course, but it isn't logically the same as a exclude button.

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (shares can be allowed or excluded by labels)
