As per title. V 18.1 on Android TV (Sony Bravia)

Leanback recommendations are great... except that they don't respect the profile setup and will allow any user to watch content behind a passcode protected profile.

I have a set-up as follows:

• Kodi boots into "default", open profile with access only to sources containing family-friendly movies etc
  
• By signing out from default you can switch to a separate "PG" profile which has access to separate sources content that "probably requires and adult in the room before watching" (e.g. 15, 18 rated movies etc.)
  
• The Master Profile (also password protected) has access to all, but isn't used - apart from to manage the others
  

The new leanback integration is great and adds suggestions, but from ALL the content. Selecting a recommendation only available from a protected profile plays it WITHOUT any password/code prompt. This effectively makes it impossible to have separate profiles for parental control etc.

Even if it is pulling from the "Master" profile - that should still need a sign in before playing as that profile is protected...

Only workaround is to disable recommendations from Kodi - which is a shame
