MediaPortal Version: 1.2 Beta
MediaPortal Skin: All
Windows Version: 7
Hi guys,
I haven't filled in the rest of the spec details yet and I'm nervous about posting this here at all because I don't THINK this is a bug (although it could be). If it's a bug, I'm in the right place. If not it's a feature request so feel free to slap me and move or delete the post
Anyway, I appreciate that there is currently no ratings based parental control system in MyVideos and introducing such a feature is probably a lot of work. However, Folder based pin protection currently works quite well. Just set up a folder with the kids movies in it and a folder for everything else. Leave the kids folder unprotected and protect the "other" folder. Nice.
However, while this is fine in "Share View", in "Title View" you still see all of the details for movies in the protected folder (coverat, fanart, etc). It's only when you go to play one of these movies that you are prompted to input your pin number. Is this the intended behaviour?
Would it be possible and/ or beneficial to find a way to have Title View display ONLY content in unprotected folders until you enter a pin number (maybe from an option in the hidden menu)? I appreciate this could get tricky if you have multiple protected folders all with different pins. Short of implementing a "master pin" system I'm not sure how you'd get around this.
Anyway, thanks in advance for listening.
All the best,
Wo0zy
