Password Protected Folders/Shares

jwerlend · 2003-10-02, 01:22

i think it would be great if you guys implemented such a feature. my whole family uses the computer (3 years to 60 years) - and there is certain things i would like to keep for myself... like private pictures and horror movies ++

xbmc looks really nice...

hi guys,

firstly can i say how great xbmc appears to be. i really love the clean look of it.

what i think is great is the ability to navigate between directories to find movies to watch, but some of us need *certain* directories to be password protected so that *certain* people can't watch *certain* movies if you know what i mean.

so yeah, if we can protect our special directories where we store our adult movies that would be great.

thanks!

a possible work around is using 2 installs, one with the xml configured for say, both 'sets' of videos, or one solely for teh pr0n. and using mxm which allows you to password protect menu items (from games, apps, action scripts, bla bla).

zordon · 2003-12-10, 20:59

true but i never got the hang of mxm. plus i eventually will replace my dash with xmc, when it matures a little.

also most people mention p0rn, however i would like to restrict all movies i feel are unsuitable for the kids (too violent, bad language etc..), and maybe create a share with only films i feel they should have access to.

love to see passwords configurable in the .xml file. set a bookmark with a passwords (or even passcode entereted in by the remote or gamepad). sort of like unleashx does. thanks.

to those of you wanting to hide your adult movies from the rest of the family, here's what you do until password protection is implemented.
i'm running xbmc as dash, so the xml in the c root is the family friendly version and then i can open xbmc from my programs in e:\apps\xbmc for other times
