Hello there,
I know the title of the topic may be misleading, but I’ll try to explain my goal.
During this pandemic I’ve share with a couple of friends some of my movies using plex, and watching together.
I would like to know if there is a possibility to just let them see my server library without giving them the ability to play unless we are explicitly watching together
Thank you in advance

Plex cannot do that.

Unfortunate…
I’ll keep sharing one movie at a time then
Thank you
