Trying to setup libraries for friends to watch, Is there a way to set them up so that if i delete a show in my library they stay in friends library until they have watched them?
Thanks

It’s the same library. If you share it, they can see/access what’s in it. If you delete an item, it’ll no longer be available to them.

Thanks for clarifying. Is there any way to setup the server so that i cant delete shows until they watch them or would that require a 2nd server?

Nothing I’m aware of, sorry.
