Plex

[pcslookout]

Does anyone know if Plex will allow setting up media like this anyway ? If so how?

Setting up media like what?

restricting users access to libraries? Yes

one plex account is the Admin, which can modify others users library access

Agree with this, not entirely sure what OP is asking, but Plex has pretty solid access controls.

You are going to have to setup media structure exactly as pictured then each use have to register their own plex account and you then setup selection for each user. Pain in the ass if you ask me.

Kinda.

I have one admin account that's the actual plex account.

I have a local account for each of the 4 peeps in our family. This acts just like an external account, but can't access the Plex server remotely. But it's handy so my wife can keep track of local content she likes, while I do too, and kiddos also.

I played around with parental controls for my younger son, and was able to block mature content pretty easily. But, still gotta parent him a little cuz he figured out pretty quick to just login to moms account and watch whatever. 😂

My admin account is the actual plex account, locked down with 2fa and locally PIN.

But if you want users access remotely, then yes....gotta have a plex account for each user. Invite that user, and manage their permissions.

Setting up the folder structure is crucial for any streaming service, as is file naming (and tag data for music).

It's definitely not overwhelming if you get it setup "right".

The OP's folder structure looks a little wonky, but I'm not very familiar with emby to that level, and I dunno what OS he's using.

edit: clarity

well it has to be that way if he wants that level of granularity for access. I would just divide it into age groups if he wants to do access control. Otherwise it is very tedius since your home screen will have tens of rows of Recently Added.

Why yes, yes it does.

Age-group restrictions or spend time with tags. I just use a "kids" tag for all my kids movies and limit their account to that tag. Ezpz.

I see the OP hasn't come back yet, *shrug*
