RE: [ukha_d] PIN-protected Media Centre

Xlobby definitely supports PIN codes. The Colby skin has a pin access
defined to get into the "Control"

Menu (pin=1800). The only problem is that the PIN is stored unencrypted
in the XML file that describes the

screen so its pretty easy to find out if you know where to look.

Subject: [ukha_d] PIN-protected Media Centre



I was wondering what, if any, media centre solutions allow the PIN or
password protection of certain areas, e.g. I don't want my 2 & 6 year
old to be able to watch certain ripped movies or listen to my
"Parental Advisory Lyric" MP3s

Not that I have anything *that* dodgy in my movie collection, I was
just hoping that they couldn't watch Lock, Stock, or listen to Eminem
etc.

A quick Google indicates that Meedio offers "PIN-protected
screens",
but what about XBMC and Xlobby ? Maybe I'm not using the right search
terms?

Cheers,

Tim.
