I think this would make a lot of sense. Many people have slightly more scandalous videos, so some would probably want to hide certain files altogether, so it would be best to allow for that as well. I have certainly seen it requested enough times in the forums here.

We could simply add a subsection to the video settings called "parental controls," have the option to set a password to prevent unauthorized access, and then it could include a couple of settings along the lines of "Restrict access to movies rated ___ and above." I suppose you would need a similar set of options for tv shows since they're rated differently (e.g., TV 14). These settings could be extended to apply to live tv as well once it is officially added to xbmc.

Then to change display/access to the restricted files, there could be a listing in the context menu of "show restricted videos" or "hide restricted videos" depending on the current status, which would of course require the password to change. Or, it could simply be a toggle button outside of the context menu, visible somewhere in the video window alongside the "sort by" and the enable/disable library mode buttons.

Of course, I have no concept of how many minutes/hours/days/months it might take someone to code this, but it's an idea. Thoughts?
