I would like to be able to edit the sharing label down to the individual episode instead of at the series level. I want to adjust my children’s ability to binge an entire show with what time they are given to watch shows. With that I want to introduce “new” episodes of different shows at various times to help rotate some of the repetition experienced now. With some shows they have access to too many episodes that it’s random overload. I hope this is not a horribly difficult request. Thank you!

Isn’t the below more like what you _really_ want?

Not exactly because it’s not just about amount of time, but what is able to be accessed. I want narrow visibility on certain shows at certain times, partly to add enjoyment of getting new content. While I think both those ideas are very useful it’s still lacks part of what I would like. Personally I’d like all three, more control is better at times. Thank you for bringing those up though!

I would like this, too, but for a different reason. There are some TV shows that have an episode here and there that I don’t want my children to watch. So I would like to be able to label some episodes as “family-friendly” (for example) and others as not.

Another great situation. What I like to think is that without any granularity in controls, they aren’t really controls; especially when kids are involved. I know it’s a grave understatement to say but the features exists, so just implement it, but I would like to see more finer control for parents.

I’m very interested in this as well. There are a number of shows that are appropriate for kids except for that _ **ONE** _ episode. Usually that one _ **scene** _ even. Better would be a `Clearplay` option, but that would take a lot more work.

If anybody is unfamiliar `Clearplay` is a company that made DVD Players that if you subscribed to their service you could set content restrictions in different categories & load up the filter for that movie & it’d play with scenes cut or dialogue cut out at certain timestamps. I know you can pay their subscription & have it filter Amazon & Netflix but it only works in a browser with the extensions installed.  
Now it’d be kinda cool to have a similar thing for Plex, except depending on where you ripped a movie from their timecodes wouldn’t match up right, but it _ **would** _ be nice to have an option to manually enter for a movie or episode **Cut from** `0:02:15.3` **to** `0:02:16.1` **for** `PG` or a tick box for `Whole Episode`

- 
  - **PG-13** Version: **Cut from:** `0:02:15.3` **to** `0:02:16.1`

- 
  - **PG** Version: **Cut from:** `0:02:15.3` **to** `0:02:16.1` & **Mute from:** `0:35:40.2` **to** `0:35:41.1`

- 
  - **G** Version: `☑️ Whole Episode`

LostOnTheLine – Clearplay is doing a test of filtering on Plex. After installing the Clearplay Chrome extension, try it out with the movie Seabiscuit on Plex at [Seabiscuit (2003) | Plex is where to watch your movies and TV](https://watch.plex.tv/movie/seabiscuit)

The problem with that is that **A.)** I don’t have Seabiscuit & **B.)** It has the same problem that the extension has playing on other streaming services, _ **You have to watch it in a browser on a computer** _

I’m all for a Clearplay plugin for Plex, but it’d need to have the ability to adjust the timing, maybe in a sync or offset file, with adjustments in ms like the Subtitle adjustments. Like I just had that issue replacing a DVD rip with a BluRay rip where my nice subtitles didn’t match up with the new video file & I had to re-adjust them.

+1, I would definitely love this. I’ve just made a thread trying to brainstorm a workaround in the meantime:
