Weekly limits and Request rules

Limit how much people ask for and set where approved titles go. Only the owner and admins change these.

Open Settings > Request rules (http://your-server:6262/settings/requests).

Set weekly limits

1. Under Weekly limits, set the number for movies, shows and music.
2. Save.

Each limit covers a rolling 7 days and counts one kind only. Approvers have no limit.

Limit	Default	Range
Movies	10	0 to 1000, 0 = no limit
Shows	10	0 to 1000, 0 = no limit
Music	10	0 to 1000, 0 = no limit

Choices

One person’s own limit

Open Settings > Users and roles, change the person and set their weekly asks. An empty box uses the default.

Where approved titles go

These apply when an approver leaves folder or quality on Default.

Setting	What it does	Default
Movie folder, Movie quality	Folder and quality rules for approved movies	First movie Library folder, and that folder’s quality
Show folder, Show quality	The same for shows	First show Library folder, and that folder’s quality
Music folder, Music quality	The same for artists and albums	First music Library folder, and that folder’s quality
Search when approved	Search as soon as a request is approved. Movies at once, shows at the next feed check	On

If it does not work

Symptom: saving fails on a limit. Cause: the value is outside 0 to 1000.

Symptom: someone still hits a limit after you raised it. Cause: they have their own limit. Fix: clear it in Settings > Users and roles.
