AnotherITGuy Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi all, Longtime happy unRAID user here. I have been using unRAID to serve up media for my family via home network to three separate Kodi frontend boxes for years now, but the kids are getting old enough to poke around and view content that isn't appropriate for their age, and I'd like to limit this on their particular Kodi box. When I originally set up my User Shares in unRAID I just used generic "TV Shows" and "Movies" and "Music" shares and did not separate it by suitability for kids vs. grownups. Does anyone know of a way to create a "virtual" share that only provides access to files I specifially select / approve for kid viewing? Could this be accomplished with permissions of some kind in unRAID or Kodi, or do I have to create a new user share and move all the kid content into it? If the latter, should I try to use Midnight Commander to do so? Thanks in advance for advice. Link to comment

trurl Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Separate shares is probably easiest to maintain and more flexible. When moving / copying files be sure to only go disk to disk or user share to user share. Never mix disks and user shares when copying / moving or you could lose data. Link to comment
AnotherITGuy Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thanks for the response, trurl. Wish there was some kind of tagging or permission-setting that made it easier, but sounds like separating shares is the way to do it. I'll remember to only copy between shares too - thanks for the reminder! Cheers. Link to comment
churchb Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yeah that is what I do, separate folders, I have Movies, TV Shows and subfolders under these... Kids and Normal, I initially had kids and adult but it sounded a bit too porny which it isnt! As the kids get older, every so often I move some things from Normal to the kids folders. Link to comment
