Content Restriction (1 Viewer)

Hey Guys,

Looking at doing the switch over to MP2 from MP1.
One thing that concerns me though, is that there is no way to restrict media content on a per-client basis.
I have 3 kids, each with their own MP client setup. I would like to restrict the media content they have access to.
I don't want my 10 year old, for example, to have access to the "Breaking Bad" series, or have access to certain media content.

Is there a way to do this in MP2 ? Am i missing something ?

This is not yet possible. But User management will be part of MP 2.2.

Thanks for the reply HTPCSourcer..

What features will "User Management" bring ?
Sounds really interesting.

Management will not be on a per-client basis but per user. Users are administrated on the server. So a user "Kid A" can log in on client 1 and watch with his own personal restrictions, then continue to watch on client 2 and still operate under the same restrictions.

That sounds awesome... What kind of restrictions will we be able to put in place ?

Media restrictions:

• Filters all MI's according to their age certification. Almost all international systems supported and they can be translated to each other. Means, if you have movies with a German age certification, but you chose to use only US age certifications, the system will translate them
  
• Deleting MI's
• ...

General restrictions:

• Adding media sources
• Usage of Plugins
• ....

I don't want to mention more details. Surprises are also nice, right?
