I would like to apply policies to my media that dynamically retires content out of the library (deletes it). **Default Policy** The PMS admin should be able to configure the default content policy for new content on a per-library basis (Movies vs. TV Shows). **Policies** Media should be able to be set to be automatically deleted (retired) out of the library based on: - Time since added to libary - Time since last watched by either all users or a specific user - [TV Shows] The number of new episodes/seasons added - Upon request (via media player or webui) of a user to keep content for longer (admin can put maximum number of requests per user or per content) - Keep indefinitely **Notification** Users should be able to tell if content will soon be retired based on: - Information on Pre-Play Screen - Badging overtop Media Cover - Other future notification services, as implemented. [This feature request may be modified from time to time to address comments others provide that enhance the intent of this request] Thanks, Krs1 ---
