Movie/TV Show restricion

Would love to be able to mark files/movies/tv shows as adult content.
So that users would have to reenter the password of their account to be able to view the movie.

Lets say you have a family with kids. Your plex is logged in on the TV and your kid wasn’t to watch a movie.
He see’s in the list “A Serbian Movie” and starts watching it.
It would be nice that the server owner could flag them as “adult” or something so that they have to reenter the password or chosen pin code to gain access to the file

Right now you have “Home Users” Which works for your own server.
But not for libraries that get shared from someone else.

Pin-protected libraries have been requested before.

Protection of minors is done with the Plex Home feature.

Your kids cannot access other people’s servers, unless the other server owner is explicitly sharing his server with the account of your kids as well.

As @OttoKerner stated. This type of request has been asked before.

You might want to take a look at PlexHome & managed users. Buy a monthly plex pass and try it out. It is about the best option as of now to restrict kiddies from “adult content”.

@OttoKerner I agree with @NewPlaza & @o_elkeleni_gmail_com
Plex Home only caters for the instances where the content is accessible via a home user device. What about the cases where you use PlexConnect on an AppleTv? See THIS thread… It’s all good and well restricting content for devices but with smart homes and smart devices - surely something can be built to password protect PlexConnect streaming to restrict content?


In laymans terms, if my kids watch something on the TV (not their devices) - they need a password to access content with a set age restriction

PlexConnect is a 3rd party add-on and is not an official Plex client. As such, it is totally unsupported. It sounds as if it never got extended to support Plex Home.

The first official Plex client for the Apple TV runs on the Apple TV 4.

Thank @OttoKerner
Yes you are correct - but, Plex for Apple TV only runs on the never generation Apple Tv’s and as far as I know it apparently also does not allow for content restriction. I could be wrong here - I don’t have an Apple Tv4

The officially supported Plex app on the ATV4 supports Plex Home, just like all other official Plex apps.

PlexConnect supports Plex Home.

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (Plex home, managed users, sharing restrictions, parental controls)
