thanks, but I don't want to make separate libraries, sharing label works fine, just would be awesome if it works automatically, for example download finished in the middle of the night and on saturday morning my kids could watch it before I'm adding the label (2 or 3 libraries is 2 or 3 times manage process) Emby could handle it by default, but I prefer Plex because the picture quality is better (and some feature is look better in emby but worst to handle it)

I think your best option is to use the automatic collections You.just set up the rules to add to the Kids label...

thanks, I will looking after it, but labeling is really good 1-1 library to manage with 3 type of users, simple to use if user is young or old

with fast search about automatic collection, I think it can't handle my preferences
User1 (me) see every 3 folder
user2 (kids) only see folder 2 and folder 3
User3 (granparents) only see folder 1 and folder 2

but I don't see options to make collections about the folder where it is

and rating is not option too, for example the last harry potter is pg-13 and loaded weapon 1 is pg-13 too, but my kids could watch hp (with me or my wife) but not loaded weapon (and not mention about movies without us-rating, too many variable, bigger task to makethe rules for ratings then manually adding every single movie or series a label :D )

I see your point.... Your only option is to write an agent to automatically label the film as per its collection... I am not sure you can put restrictions based on users and Attach this to a collection... So that when a child logs on it can only see films that are in a certain collection...

finally, I think it's work how I want (so-so)
I'm playing with the conditions, and the result was File, contains, (folder name)
trying it with 3 movie, 2 in the specific folder and 1 in other. the 1 in other folder hasnt got the tag, it ok :D but only 1 got the label from the 2 :\

I found out why, for some reason the script only runs on the penultimate one, not on the last one added. so the kids tag only appears if a new movie has been added afterwards

and some time later it added the latest to the latest movie, so its working like a charm with movies
it would be great if there were some solution for series and collections as well

You have to refresh the metadata for the old films Jason

naah, I recently added manually

for the new ones - it should pick the latest settings - but for older films which are older it will not update the settings. that's what I meant to say at least you have got it sorted.

ah, I understand what you mean, before the script I added manually the label, after the script is added automatically in 5 minutes :) that's good for me :)

can't figured out, why it's not working with series
accidentally I make a notification without condition (file+contains with blank) and the script runs well and write the tag to the series, then I modified the notify like the working with movies (file+contains+animation) then nothing happens, log says there is no animation in the file (and there is, and in xml wiew about an episode i can see there is)
