Block Video Library from being browsed/played?

[azaffiro]

Hello. I would like to restrict kids from going to the video library and browsing or playing the movies contained within. But I would also like to option of browsing or playing those videos when I would like to. Is this possible for MCE on Windows 7? Thanks!

I think (?) Media Browser/Emby has this through parental controls/user accounts for their WMC plugin. I can't tell you for sure as I'm a Plex user so I don't use it. As for default in WMC - no, I don't believe you can.

MyMovies allows for parental controls via PIN.

I have never had a single problem with it and consider it one of the best WMC plugins I've ever used.

That's the nature of WMC unfortunately, many of the methods and software associated with it seem to be hit or miss depending on a variety of factors.

What are the kids using to watch the movies?

I tried MyMovies,but it seems to only support movies in seperate folders. I am trying to block a single folder of many avi, mov, mkv, etc... Will it do that too? Thanks.
