[QUOTE="jw, post: 70430, member: 19078"] security questions Often media portal is left running and functions as a jukebox during parties etc and I'm curious if MP currently has the ability to enter a "secured" mode which could protect my system from the drunks i.e allow a configuration setting to disable the context "file menu" , which would disable the ability to delete files via the MP interface (for the drunks/crack heads who randomly press buttons, while aimlessly searching for music). This would stop the accidental possible deletion of music - allow an option to set a "top level" within MP.. I.e from main screen, enter "my music" , allow a configuration setting that holds this as the highest level. Meaning there is no way to back-out the main menu (without a pw or something similar).. now I'm aware of the following re: "file menu" . Obviously i could correctly set file permissions within the operating systems to specify the music share directories as "read-only" . The only downside occurs when performing a "cover art" scan, the lack of write ability creates the inability to save the image. re : "top level" . I'm aware i could disable all the plugins individually, but it would be nice to have the option to do this on the fly.. [/QUOTE]
