Pair-level Whitelisting

Limit libraries for a single pair and keep other pairs unaffected.

Pair-level whitelisting limits libraries for one pair.

Use it when you need exceptions:

• one pair should ignore “Kids” or “Anime”
• one pair should backfill only a small library

For the full picture (server-level + pair-level), use: Library Whitelisting.

What pair-level whitelisting affects

Pair-level whitelisting is applied inside the pair settings.

Typical features:

• History
• Ratings
• Progress

It does not change other pairs.

Scrobble filtering is server-level only. Scrobbling is event-driven (Watcher/Webhooks), not pair-driven.

Configure pair-level whitelisting

1. Go to Pairs.
2. Edit a pair (example: Plex → SIMKL).
3. Open Provider settings (Plex/Jellyfin/Emby).
4. Click Load Libraries if needed.
5. Select libraries for History, Ratings, and/or Progress.
6. Save the pair.

Library selections are stored per feature.

Selecting a library for History does not automatically select it for Progress.

How it interacts with server-level whitelisting

Think of it like:

• Server-level = maximum allowed scope
• Pair-level = per-pair subset

Troubleshooting

Insights dashboard shows too much

Dashboards are based on orchestrator state. Prefer server-level whitelisting for global scoping.

Pair-level selection doesn’t apply

• Confirm the pair provider section has libraries selected for that feature.
• Re-run the pair once to refresh state.

Reset and allow everything

• Clear libraries in the pair for the feature.
• Save and re-run.
