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...
xmc is almost perfect, and already is going to be used instead of xbmp. but this one feature would be very handy if implimented.
it would be great to be able to restrict certain shares. it could be set so that when a share that is protected is selected a box will come up asking for a pin number. access is granted when the pin number is entered correctly using the remote control.
pin numbers could be specified in the following way in the xml file:
<bookmark>
<name>restricted movies</name>
<path>xns://192.168.1.2:1400/$root$xxxmovies</path>
<pin>1234</pin>
</bookmark>
a default pin of 0000 could be used to allow access without a pin having to be entered.

year right..... :d lol
still a good idea...
just another wonderful idea. passworded folders. devs!
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!
i have asked before for this feature.
there is a request here on
sourceforge . request 817183 posted by gamester17
i have just added a comment to this. we can only hope!!!
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).
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
hmm wish people wud just say u r hideing ya porn collection.. lol
i would love to protect some shares on my media server pc. for example i have:
media server:
- horror ( password protected )
- action ( password protected )
- cartoons ( not protected )
basically have the option in the xml file so that i could protect a share or any folder on my xbox with a password so that my kids will not be able to view the inside of that folder.
also good for nosy girlfriedns
something like ( stolen from unleash x support forum hehe )

someone posted a zip file a while back that when extracted creates foles 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.0 and in turn recursively 4 levels deep (10,000 folders total) . this in essence allows you to store the adult content in a folder in the fourth level with a "pin" such as 2-3-0-2 that must be navigated to to see the files.
that's what i'm using for my porn. keeps the kiddies out for now ;-)
i'd love to see password protection though.
wouldn't doing like an imdb scan and listing by movies kill that idea?
how do people want to enter passwords for password protected shares?
