Lock Clients to TV Groups (1 Viewer)

[lodale]

Hi
Is there any way to lock clients to specific TV groups. Such as hide "all Channel Group". This because I am running a TV server at home and have made different groups. Would like to controll what my local clients are watchinng.

Short answer... no, there isn't.

There was some Feature request here and here, but developers seems be to busy for now

I have a local release which support pin protection for groups. If you are ready to test it I can share it in my next public release. You can use it until an official release does not support it.

Interesting. Are the locked channel group still visible for the client?

Only the group name is visible. When a client wants to switch to a protected group, a pin code will be asked from he. Similar to the pin protected folders in my video.

Thank you for the answer and also for your work on this feature. I think, it's something that many people have demanded.
Don't know if this is even technically possible, but in my opion it would be better if the locked channel group isn't visible until the pin is entered.

If you could make an explanation how it works and how to set it up, I would give it a try.

See the following screens. Technically not a hard work to hide the pin protected groups in client side similar to the all groups.

Love to try it out
Question, if a client types in the pin the first time he aksesses the chanel group, will the pin be rememberd the next time he accesess the group, or does he have to type inn pin everytime?

The user has to reenter the pin when he leaves the group. When the user leaves the tvplugin (navigates to an another plugin or exits from MP) and the last group was pin protected, the first unprotected group will be selected when he return in the tvplugin.
