How do i move a TV show from an existing Library to a different existing library? For example, if i have a TV Show Library called “Dad” and another one called “Mom”. Then Dad watches a show from his library and want to move it to the Mom library, what is the best way to do this?  
Thanks!

It’s not possibe in Plex.

Why is there a need for separate Mom / Dad libraries in the first place? Is Dad annoyed to have to scroll past all those soaps?

Dad is annoyed when Mom deletes a show he has not watched yet 🙂  
Thanks for the help

If Mom and Dad have their own Plex accounts, the ‘played’ tag for each show in the library will be separate for them. Each of them can watch ‘unplayed’ shows as much as they like without interfering with the ‘unplayed’ list of the other users.
