This is a must have and as an extension to restrict to label, how about restrict from label in addition? Like a blacklist/whitelist, I'm sure this would solve alot of issues with sharing large libraries until full multi edits are available.
Same request. I would like to restrict only a few movies/TV Shows from certain people who have permissions to my Plex server. Instead of labeling all 1800+ movies along with multiple TV Shows and Anime Seaons, I think it would be handy to be able to only label those which we don't want people to access and restrict those few from people's view yet still leave them in their specific folders to which they apply.
In the WebAdmin, it would be cool, if you when doing a multi-select of movies, could mass add them to a label, just like you can add them to a collection.

I hand-pick which movies and TV shows I share with various family members, so being able to multi-select/bulk edit sharing labels (even just within a single library) at once would help me tremendously. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into keeping Plex awesome :D
definitely should add a filter exclude option mentioned by 2 others here. Mass labeling might be a larger undertaking where as quick logic on filters (to exclude labeled movies from specific managed users) should be a quick and easy update.
Because some movies rated PG are ok, and others are not. And most movies rated G are ok, but some are too intense for my kid at his age and what he's comfortable with.
So essentially you can't count on ratings to be something that everyone agrees on. They are suggestions after all anyway...
So having a mass edit ability or allowing folks to just use collections as well as sharing labels would solve the issue.
thanks for reading!
As a parent with younger children, I am OK letting them watch PG rated movies, but ONLY after I watch it with them first to explain what is going on, good, bad words they shouldn't say, older themes, etc... Once they have watched that movie, I am OK putting it in their list. That being said, I have a LOT of movies that fall in that category, and it sure would be nice to do it as a batch...
+1, I liked the OP.
Home sharing, finally! I was like I wonder how I set restrictions on music. I looked and ok, "labels", that's awesome. Now I have over 1000 albums and 12,000 songs so I simply select all the artists or albums I want my kids to have access to, and I'm done. Then I'm like, ummm how do you select multiple items? Uh oh. Obviously selecting single items isn't an option for me. What I would like to do is select all Christian artists and label them as "Clean" and select certain Secular artists that I have approved and also label them "Clean". That would be great! Otherwise I have to use folder based restrictions (which I'm doing now).
And I agree to both quotes above. Some older early 80's movies were rating PG before PG-13 so they are closer to R. And some PG-13 movies are ok for my older kids, but some are not. So multi edit for labels and easy label management will be awesome and for me and would complete the home sharing feature list I need.
Another thing that would be nice is if the label could be embedded in the mp3 files. This way if you ever redo your Plex library from scratch then you don't have to re-setup labels. This probably isn't possible and if it's super easy to multi-edit artists, albums, etc then I would be fine with that.

Big +1 here.
So let me tell you a funny story... So my wife got the movies Nymphomaniacs vol 1 and vol 2 and I've recently been watching the new CNBC show Pot Barens of CO and so we figured "Hey lets try out this new Label sharing feature because Grandma and my Boss may appreciate some discretion with what we share" So we create a label "Private" and apply it to the 4 or 5 questionable material. Then we restricted a few users, including family and coworkers, from what I thought meant Restrict The Content With The Following Labels. In reality what actually happened was it restricted all content EXCEPT for the questionable material. Found out when a coworker called and said "something is seriously wrong with your library" :facepalm:

Please add the ability to Blacklist labels.
Yup. In addition to enabling mass labeling option, we need option to either whitelist or blacklist contents.

It would be great to select a folder / item and have it ignored by the restrictions. I share traditional media with family (ie, movies, TV shows, etc...) but also family videos and such which doesn't and won't have a rating. Instead of assigning it one to pass through the restrictions filter, ideally you'd just mark it to be ignored by restrictions.
+1 I am currently trying to figure out how to add a label to over 500 items - not easy.
Have been trying to figure out where this is stored in the DB - so far I can find a tag type 11, and can see how that relates to metadata_items, but my sql is not good enough to update that against all items in a specific library :-(
Would also be cool to be able to + or - to include or exclude tags available to shared libraries. (the whitelist/blacklist idea)
Definitely on our list, but most people should have content ratings in their library which are usable. What's the scenario where you need to use labels for hundreds of movies?
SHORT-ISH ANSWER:
-You can currently only use labels to ALLOW certain media.
-No use for content rating restrictions when you live with all adults
In my case I'd want to take off certain content from users accounts, but I'd have to label EVERYTHING (1500 movies, 450 different shows) first just to remove the label from the stuff I didn't want to show up for each account. (For instance 1 person watches literally only 3 shows and a very limited amount of movies.)
LONGER ANSWER:
When you have people watching that will never watch certain movies, like some girls won't watch horror or violent action movies and other guy oriented stuff. I think for most guys they don't want a bunch of chick flicks. Or parents don't want their kids watching certain G or PG rated movies. Parents, or especially older siblings, would probably like to get the kids movies off, like all those Barbie and Tinkerbell movies :) It'd just be nice to trim the clutter some users just won't ever watch. Though these scenarios are probably more for the case of adding a blacklist feature for labeled content. Either way, only allowing certain stuff approved for kids, or only restricting certain stuff for kids and adults alike, labeling isn't really feasible without a mass edit option.
Yeah, I bought the Plex Pass for this feature (which, come to find out, isn't supported by any of the clients we actually use to watch the stuff, but that's another thread :-), and having to go through everything to label individual movies is a pain. I have 8 kids with 8 different accounts and 8 different levels of what is appropriate for their age, so editing share labels would take forever individually. PLEASE implement this soon.
I would very much like to see mass label editing and change the Home User share restrictions to allow both include and exclude filters based on ratings and labels as I can see how SeaNap made this mistake based on how the UI is currently set.
As a relatively new user, is there an a official place to to submit and vote on this stuff?

This is needed so badly, my media collection is massive and every day I chip away at labeling more items, but at this rate it will take a year to get everything labeled so the user based sharing could actually be useful to me. I'm not exaggerating.
I would also love to see this implemented. In the meanwhile I have a collection for my 5 year old. She is not really interested yet in any other movies than ones I am ok with but that will change soon I am sure.
If I could restrict her to certain collections that would solve the problem for me.
