Hi all!
I don't know if this post is well placed here, if it's not, please move it to the right subforum.
Thinking about what great features MP2 could have, I realized that having multiple users configuration would be awesome. Let me explain this with an example.
Imagine that we have a four member family: mother, father and two kids. Having this "multiple users" features, when Mediaportal starts, a dialog box will appear asking: "who is going to use Mediaportal?" Options could be father, mother, kid 1, kid 2, all of them, guest and different combinations of them.
What will we get with this?
For example, we could have videos, tvseries, films... set as watch depending on which user watch them and not on where they have watch (room client, living room client, kitchen client...). We could also apply different filters or apply parent control for each user. We could build intelligent playlists based on what each users listen to... Post it here your ideas
In a future, we could also develop a plugin to use face or voice recognition (microphones and webcams) to identify the users quicker.
So, my question is... will this be incorporated to Mediaportals core or will it be possible to add as a plugin (more difficult as all databases will need more columns for each user)? Albert, is this (or something like this) in the roadmap of Mediaportal? How difficult is to add it?
Am I the only one who thinks that this option is a killer feature that will make Mediaportal even better? IMO, this will increase user experience to a higher level, don't you think so?
Many thank for your opinion and especial thanks to Mediaportal developers for all their hard work, you guys are simply the best!
Best regards,
Aitor
