This may not even be the right place to even ask this, but maybe somebody can point me in the right direction...
My goal right now is to get shows for very young children to be sorted into its own folder, both so the kids will only see those shows and so everybody else doesn't have the main library cluttered with 200 different paw patrol movies or whatever the hell these kids watch. If I was the only one downloading things it's easy enough to just select the correct folder for children's content as it's downloaded, but I currently have a setup with Jellyseerr and one instance each of Radarr/Sonarr to download everything. I have several family members that are able to make requests, but I see no way within Jellyseerr itself to have it redirect content to a different folder either based on tags or the user making the request, and it doesn't appear as if adding a separate instance of Radarr/Sonarr for children's content is going to work the way I'd want it to with Jellyseerr. This leaves me trying to sort it out after the fact once Jellyfin picks it up.
I'm curious if there's any functionality via a plugin or otherwise within Jellyfin to just move movies/shows with a specific tag (i.e. tag for user that made the Jellyseerr request) or a certain genre/rating to its own library during the import process, or even a bulk manual move after the fact if necessary. Currently I'm having to manually dig through the folder structure and just copy/paste things around, and it just feels like this should be a solved problem already. I've seen others suggest simply tagging children's movies and either blocking/allowing within the parental controls for each user, but that's a bit messier and more labor intensive than just having it in a separate folder with single point access control, with the added benefit of allowing adults that want to see children's content the very simple option of selecting that library.
So does anything like this exist, or is moving things around like this too far outside the scope of what Jellyfin's meant to be doing?
