i would like this feature too but i got some other ideas.
protecting a folder or a share it’s fine but what about local media? the protection should be applied to a file according to a range of properties (pg-pg13-r-pr0n) which should be added the first time you try to play it. an example would be if i put a dvd or a cd that hasn't been authorized it will prompt for a password and after that it will let you apply the properties, otherwise it won’t play. (the ratings for movies could be downloaded from imdb)
other approach could be a user system where each user has his/her own password and settings. i am not much of a programmer but probably a phyton script that prompts for a user name and password when xbmc starts, then renames predefined xml files for each user and then restarts xbmc with the selected xml file. if phyton is able load and accept input from the onscreen keyboard it might be doable. i’m going to look at this second approach i might be able to write the script. it won’t solve the problem with local media but you could still protect shared folders.

a pin entered from the remote to protect password smb shares on the network is a major priority for me, this is the only thing letting down such an excellent piece of software imho

hi!

sometimes it would be nice to secure some files/folders etc. with a password protection.

to open a folder/start a xbe you have to type in the correct password in a virtual keyboard.

the password could be "deposited" in a xml?

i don`t want that my kids play games with violence or something like that.
that`s my job.

is this feature planned in upcoming releases?

22 posts and still you haven't mastered the search button.

of course i tried the search button, but found only topics for password protected streams, shares.

i need a password protection in xbmc for the games on hd.
of course, for shares too.
the shared files/folders should be all visible, but some shared files/folders needs a password protection.

try:

quite a few of those threads could have been resurrected instead of starting a new one.

and to answer your question: yes, it's planned.

ok, thanks!
i entered password in the search, but only 4-5 threads were found!?

i know this has been asked b4 is it possible to know if its planned

since it's been asked before and there is an existing thread why do you insist in opening a new thread for it! don't do that again!

how about this, i sure would like to see this.

a feature to password-protect shares. it doesn't have to be anything secure, just so something not too literate can't figure it out.

example, where you define the share just make another key (for example) that says 'xaax'. then whenever you access that share from xbmc it will prompt you for a password, and then using the xbox controller you hit x a a x, and it will let you see the content.

or else maybe something on startup to allow different profiles to be selected (and password protect them also) which then have access to certain shares or perhaps they hold their own config (xml) entirely.


mainly, i have some "questionable" content on share, and now i got some new roommates moving in who will eventually find it.

anyway let me know what yall think!

being worked on passwords

ps: how good is the ? content? :d

very very good... :thumbsup: aint:

thanks for the reply and heads up!

you're right, but what i'm not sure about is why didn't you search the forum before posting a new topic for it?!
