Saw older requests for the feature, but nothing saying how to do it so assuming never went beyond the request stage.
Figured I'd repost the request since seems like a good feature to have. Maybe add the option under the set content screen.

Came on looking to see how/where to password protect folders since making a system for my sister who loves horror movies, but, doesn't want the kids watching them.

Aren't profiles cover what you want to do?

Didn't know it had profiles... looking at it now, do I have to pick the profile and login with a password each time I start up XBMC?

Profiles seem to be the number one feature most commonly overlooked. That and smart playlists.

You can set up a master profile without a password and have a separate profile that requires a password. ![[Image: watched-fanart.jpg]](http://trakt.tv/user/Sranshaft/widget/watched-fanart.jpg)

That might work... otherwise, if you have to pick a profile and login every time you turn on XBMC or someone else goes to watch it... then that wouldn't be convenient at all vs using a password on 1 folder that may get used once or twice a week. I'll give it try... though I still think right clicking a folder and telling it to use a password is a much simpler solution that more people would use so... feature request still stands.

you can password protect a source. we don't support individual folders, if you need that granularity, use your operating system's permission control (or reorganize your files..)
enable the master lock, then open context on the source you want to lock. Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

Can I just ask....
Do profiles require you to have access to the HTPC so you can log in and out of Windows then relaunch XBMC? Or do they work another way? Eg once XBMC is loaded you log in to a certain profile using username/password? I only ask because we'd too like certain films protected from our kids (any 12, 15 or 18 rated film), without having to log in and out of things if its possible..certainly without having to access the underlying PC as the wife certainly wouldn't be able to cope with that! |
