Description of the bug

Jellyfin shows content under "Recently Added" that the user cannot access because of Parental Controls. When clicking on these items, the user sees a spinning circle. This is somewhat similar to https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/12855. There it only affects a single generated thumbnail however. This bug will show new movies or TV shows added to the collection the user does not have access to.
For some reason this does not happen with all (or most) content. There might be more to the steps to reproduce it that I have not figured out yet.

Reproduction steps

  1. Create a user that has Parental Controls enabled.
  2. Set the limit to something low like TV-Y.
  3. Add a movie or TV show with a higher rating. I had one with TV-Y7.
  4. View the main page of the restricted user.

What is the current bug behavior?

The main page will show the newly added movie/TV show. Clicking on the play icon will show a spinning circle on the same page. Trying to open the content's page will show an empty page with a spinning circle.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The main page should not show content that the user does not have access to.

This is still an issue on 10.10.7. It mainly appears to affect a single show, The Adventures of Tintin.

I also have this issue, created special tag "TagTest" added that tag in parental control tab for a user to block content with this tag, added this tag to a show I have, show appears in recently added section... clicking on show results in infinite loading with no access..
