Re: XBMC and Filtering media



Hi Des,
Thanks for that - I'll give that a go. Must admit - seems a little odd
that there isnt a way of introducing parental control with these things.
Even if its a text file in the film folder that holds a level of access
based on a pin code entry when you try and play the film.....(mmm a
scripting plug in may be an idea here)

Anyways - cheers again :)

Wayne.
