I'm completely impressed with the work so far - it's locked down exactly what I needed, so that 'little hands' can't easily make a mistake. I can only imagine how much better it would be with full-on Kiosk mode.

Alright I think I covered everything:
Movies
TV Shows
Music
Files Mode
and Steps for Total lockdown...

Check my post on Page 1 of this post for Step by Step Instructions.

Damn you guys are fast, I'm going to test this right now

Added:

View Lockdown & Total Lockdown options.

Thanks for the work.

* hikaricore cheers.

Hi Hitcher,

following problem occured when i use the VIEW LOCKDOWN function. It works really fine, but in MUSIC it is not possible to change to file view to add some music files to the library.

So please add the Files Submenu to the Main Menu in Music and everything is fine. If you don't - every time i add some music i had to disable the view lock.

Thank you again.

I think it's working as expected. When you lock the views, you should not be able to change the views. There's no bug here.

You could simply make your own custom submenu button.

Ok - it's no bug. But if i had to unlock everytime i want to add som music, the lock feature is useless.

Hitcher has added wisely a files submenu for Movies and TV-Shows. If this will exist for Music too, the lock feature works like it should. Otherwise the handling between library and file mode is crap.

Not necessarily. If you change your process, then it works really, really well. For example, when I add new media, I either use FTP to upload the new media from one system to another, or else I remotely access my Media System and use Windows Explorer to drag and drop the media files into their respective folders. I also have XBMC on a schedule which automatically restarts it, and then, imports any and all changes.

Technically, it's a "works for me, but maybe not for you" scenario.
