Backdrops screensavers and tag-restrictions - abpjf - 2023-10-27
I use Tags to restrict certain users from being able to view "NSFW" content - meaning I'd have a given user be unable to view media that I've Tagged with something like "NSFW"
Given that, does the Backdrop Screensaver respect that restriction for that given user? As in, it won't show any images from content that has the NSFW tag?
I've tried experimenting but given that I have over 9000 distinct titles (between TV Shows, Music, Movies), I'm not sure if it would 'filter' those images from Backdrop Screensaver rotation. In other words, I (so far) haven't noticed it inserting such images, but then again I have no way of knowing since god knows how long it would take to eventually cycle through all images.

Guess no one knows, welp, hoping it doesn't show what isn't expected to show...

There is one easy way to test this. Especially if you're using Docker.
- Make a new Jellyfin server and point it to new ports (or temporarily turn off your old server to avoid port conflicts).
- Make a new library folder and point the new server to it so that this new server doesn't have access to your old content.
- Copy a few movies/shows that are a mix between family-friendly and adult-only tag-restricted to this new library.
- Configure two accounts in your new server, an adult and child account. Adult account can just be the server owner.
- Switch to the child account and watch the few backdrops switch around for a bit.
- You will confirm if it works or not.
The other (more robust way) would be to go look at the code for how this works to see if actually does work or not (has a bug or missing code).

thanks for pointing me in that direction! honestly I hadn't thought about doing that. I did a simpler variation on your procedure:
1. create new Library
2. copy 2x NSFW + 2x 'safe' to new library
3. create new user with NSFW restriction + access to just the new library
4. login as new user, verified only sees new library w/ 2x 'safe' titles
5. waited for screensaver to start
6. let screensaver cycle for about 30 minutes
with just an admittedly very small sample size, it _seems_ that the restrictions are applied to screensaver backdrop selections; it just cycled between content from the 2x 'safe' titles - again, at least in the sample size of 4 titles that I set up.
