Hi,
as my sons are getting into an age, where they know how to "use" a remote control, I'm feeling the need to block certain content.
After reading the wiki/forums and searching the web, I'm still a bit lost.
There seem to be four possibilities:
a) Master lock: block all access to movies/tv shows unless correct pin/password is used. With Estuary/Matrix this is not working (?), direct access from the menu to (e.g.) recently viewed movies is still possible.
b) Profiles, restrict access to media sources. For this it would be necessary to order movies/tv shows according to their rating (FSK here in Germany). With a lot of files this can get a bit tedious. Is there a way to extract/export the rating from the database, so I can then efficiently move the movie files into individual folders on the NAS?
After setting up the file structure, this looks to me like the most future-proof option.
c) Smart playlist. After a bit of reading I still do not understand how to use smart playlist to _block_ access to say movies with violence etc.
d) Creation of custom nodes for the menu(s). This is beyond my comprehension. Comments? Links to more information?
Thanks,
Oliver
