Add Tag-Based Content Filtering System in Blacklist Settings

[Molier]

Description

The current adult content filtering system relies solely on TMDB's "adult" tag, which often misses content that should be filtered, especially for family-friendly environments. While the recently introduced blacklist feature allows blocking individual titles, a more comprehensive solution is needed for proactive filtering.

Desired Behavior

• Add a configurable tag blacklist system in the blacklist settings, fe: blacktags ?

• Allow administrators to specify TMDB tags to filter (e.g., "sexploitation", "erotic", "softcore")

• Apply these filters across all discovery sections (Movies, TV Shows, Trending, etc.)

• Option to enable/disable the tag filter system globally

• Ability to export/import tag lists for easy sharing of curated filters

Additional Context

This would build upon the existing single-item blacklist feature, offering a more scalable solution for content filtering. The TMDB API already exposes these tags, as evidenced in the example: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/37265 where tags like "erotic" are present but not caught by the current adult filter.
see #460 for more.

From this discussion it seems like TMDB does have something for that in their api:

https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/606da6c698f1f10029694d78

Quickly looking up the API reference for /discover-movie there seem to be parameters for that too ... e.g. include_adult or certification_country

https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/discover-movie

Certifications for all Countries can be gotten here

https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/certification-movie-list

Response: certifications.json

So all in all ... shouldn't this allow for a proper filter?

Not by tags but actually by country & age ratings (=certifications) for both movies and TV-Shows ...

As for the UI/Settings in regard to the Limits - you could basically take the values from the Parental Control settings in Jellyfin for that - or?

(Sorry for the German Screenshot ...)

This looks like a duplicate of #1048?
I misread sorry

Let me add to this request.

Can we also have it to where we can filter from the admin side?
For instance, I have a kid who I allow to request stuff but I'd love to be able to hide anything above a PG-13 rating for them without them being able to disable it.

What do you mean? Hide blacklisted items on admin account?

No I mean as an admin, I want to blacklist anything above PG-13 for some of my users.
And I don't want them to even know they are missing movies.

Hope that makes sense!

Here's a similar function in Plex:

Thats how blacklist works even now..
the blacklisting is admin side (blacklist manage permission)..

Oooooh OK I thought each user got their own blacklist.

OK so I messed around with it and looks like the Blacklist is for all users and it's a blacklist for whatever you manually blacklist.
What I'm saying is I'd love to be able to single out a specific user and them have them never see anything above PG-13 rating, much like the Plex example above is just for one user.

So sort of like OP's request, but per-user and based on the movie content ratings.

Any update on this my entire movie feed is Japanese softcore and it is very awkward with my parents using the service to explain I am not putting it on there

Yeah and mine isn't so much for that kind of stuff but I have family who has kids that let them pick out movies, or a mother who hates seeing stuff like Terrifier or Drag Me to Hell posters pop up. Just that kinda stuff. Or overtly sexual movies.
