Hello @terrelsa13 we probably already talked about this so i really like the latest script but i would like to know if there is a chance for another change. so you know you added the possibility to delete videos depending on the date the movie/show was added to the library. is there a way to do this by path? so lets say i would like to delete movies/tv shows from the library people request to me if it was added more than 30 days ago but my personal movies i would not like to touch or maybe 1 year. but right now it is deleting it for all libraries

also is there a way to include the name of the user for which something is been deleted? image on the image above everything is from my username except the movie and i had to go up and check the user through the whole list to see what user already watched that. it would be nice to have the username here in this list of deleting items

Thanks!

  1. It sounds like you will need to run two separate instances of this script... Copy and rename the folder the script is currently in. Setup the first instance to only delete from libraries people have requested from you and set it to delete at 30 days. Setup the second instance to only delete from your personal libraries and set it to delete at 365 days. Make sure these libraries do not overlap.

  2. This request sounds possible. I thought about adding user names a while back, but decided against it because it felt redundant. Currently user names are not stored with the media items to be deleted when the section you show is printed out. I may implement this when I have enough free time to sit down and look into it further to understand what else would have to change in order to show the user names at the bottom. But as you mentioned, the same information is already shown above. For now, that will have to suffice.

  1. so i do not follow i am talking about this: image is this also using the path i indicated on the blacklist: image what i mean is lets say some paths i would like to delete after 1 years other less time but it looks like you just go over everything in my jellyfin without path. am i right?

  1. The max delete functionality uses the same user_bl_libs= and user_wl_libs= paths the rest of the script uses. There will be no separate paths for the max delete functionality.

To do what you asked for in the original post you will need to run this script from two separate folders (two instances). For example:

Each instance above will have its own media_cleaner_config.py.

This can be expanded to any number of script instances to get very specific media cleaning functionality.
