Feature Request - remote control lock (1 Viewer)

[Spagbol]

I have small children who have just started getting interested in the remote control!
Needless to say, little fingers quickly mangle the install when mashing the buttons...

Would it be possible to introduce the option of a kind of lock for the remote control?
Say, a PIN (user defined - even just one button, doesn't have to be 3 or 4 digits) which would allow the remote control commands to be processed by MP. So MP wouldn't process any remote control commands until the PIN is entered, and then with the addition of a timer, could auto 'lock' the remote again after a user specified amount of time after the last command has been received (much like a mobile phone auto lock).

Good idea? Rotten idea? Already implemented? (had a good search and couldn't find anything to accomplish this)

I can see it would be a good idea for some users such as yourself, although perhaps it could be done so that the PIN is only needed to access certain functions (Settings screen, delete files, etc) which would stop the kids doing any damage but still not be a pain for when the adults want to use the "non-dangerous" functions.
