I have XBMC 11.0 Eden, running on Linux and Windows sharing a MySQL library.
I want to have certain titles in my library only be visible if a password is entered, but everything else be accessible for viewing with no requirement to enter a password. Using instructions from http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Med...es#Locking I have done the following:
However, the moment I restart XBMC - either the Windows or the Linux installation - I find that the source is freely accessible, and Master Lock code is completely disabled. Checking specific checkboxes in the master lock window produces no change in this behaviour. Enabling it again makes the restricted source locked again, but only until the next restart. I have previously not done anything regarding user profiles except setting up advancedsettings.xml to share certain configuration files as recommended in the wiki, by the way, so if any profile is supposed to be the default, I'm using it.
What am I doing wrong and how do I get the lock to stick?
I want to have certain titles in my library only be visible if a password is entered, but everything else be accessible for viewing with no requirement to enter a password. Using instructions from http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Med...es#Locking I have done the following:
- Moved all restricted titles into a separate SMB share with it's own access restrictions.
- Added it into XBMC as a video source.
- Enabled master lock, as per http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Set...aster_lock -- I did not check the 'ask for master lock code on startup' nor any of the master lock checkboxes.
- Set password on the abovementioned video source as described in the wiki.
