Bingo.
Ok, so that would involve getting the site-owners to code a special search engine?

First off, I'm not arguing about profiles, use profiles to limit content available sure, fine, great... we're not talking about that.
I'm talking about a source of information, not a form of segregation... the control METHOD is COMPLETELY beside the point. I ask for a phone book and you tell me how you set up a speed dial... It's completely irrelevant!
I also don't care about when the MPAA ratings were adopted, because that is also irrelevant. I don't use MPAA ratings at all because they have NEVER been consistent or reliable. MPAA ratings are made by an anonymous group of industry puppets and rarely have much to do with the content of the film at all. If you want further confirmation of that fact, just watch "This Film Is Not Yet Rated".
I'm talking about KIDS-IN-MIND.COM ratings which are ENTIRELY and COMPLETELY separate. The reliability of MPAA ratings has nothing whatsoever to do with the reliability of Kids-In-Mind ratings... NOTHING. Don't care.
I'm not talking about what you do with content after you have determined its acceptability level, I'm talking about getting acceptability level information BEFORE viewing. I'm talking about another tool to sort content with, NOT WHAT TO DO ONCE YOU'VE SORTED YOUR CONTENT. And no, I'm not afraid to do a little work, obviously, since I'm looking all this stuff up by hand right now, but it would be NICE to have a scraper to do that for me, and for the thousands of other parents who use this system.
Sometimes I let the kids watch things that are beyond their age level (while I'm with them for guidance) but I like to have some idea what I'm getting into ahead of time. I do not have the time to watch everything BEFORE my kids, then WITH my kids. Anyone who thinks that that is a practical solution for all parents in 2011 is ... [censored].

Quote:I wrote an import plugin for the Kids-In-Mind website. At the moment, there are only two settings: Full Title field (library field that contains the full title of the movie), and Release Year field (currently expects a 4 digit year). The importer will add 3 ratings (KIM_Sex, KIM_Violence, and KIM_Profanity) and 3 detailed descriptions of the ratings (KIM_SexText, KIM_ViolenceText, KIM_ProfanityText). Of course, this information isn't displayed by any theme (yet!), but hopefully I can convince crn to add it to Evolution. The information can also be used for filters.
The plugin creates a KidsInMind folder in the data directory and stores all scraped files there (can be used for re-importing). There is also a "temp" folder that will contain a log file detailing the import.

but this is my idea for limiting content use a profile but in the source's options/global options allow for "blacklisting" adult or other type content by
* Rating (e.g G or PG)
* Title, Plots, etc. (e.g does not contain sensuality, sex etc)
* Allowing manual additions that don't meet the above
* Allow for white listing certain content that was incorrectly filtered
so that if "unrated" etc. movies are showing that are inappropriate let the administrator add it to a list of inappropriate content
mabe allow for it to filter by reason for rating (e.g Rated R for Extreme violence) or what ever so
before anyone yells at me for being a bad parent i am not one; but i do have a neice and nephew though not yet old enough to even use my Media Server they will be soon enough; and i don't want them seeing movies and shows they are not mature enough to see or that their parents would not want them to see
as well i live with my parents (i am over 21) and we not exactly agree on what is an appropriate movie so i want to easily hide those they don't want to see

These people drive me nuts, instead of talking to their children try go get shows pulled off the air. No relevant comment to the topic, just a rant!
However, when (way down the road ) I have children I plan on the multiple accounts setup. It's easy, and you can set everything perfect for them. You can even change the skin and it's settings to be as child friendly as possible.
