I have pets and kids and it gets annoying when you're watching a movie and they grab the controller or accidentally hit a button on the controller and end up fast forwarding the movie. I want to suggest a feature where you "lock" the controller by pressing the white button + back button. Once locked the only buttons available is the right thumb sticks up and down for volume and A for pause. If you press any other button a little lock pops up to let you know the xbmc is locked. To unlock press white + back buttons again or reboot the xbox.

Hi,
I'd like a feature where the controllers can be locked/unlocked with a certain key combination so playback won't be accidentally interrupted.

this is a pretty good idea actually....for me at least, because my controller's triggers are screwed up and it tends to start rewinding or fastforwarding by itself haha. I usually have to take the batteries out everytime i watch something. But for more practical use, i can see it being useful. Or even if you have a party or something and don't want people messing with it.

I couldn't live without my wireless logitech controllers. However I have 1 maybe 2 which does this auto forward/rewind. I hope the deadzone setting can fix this, will try tonight.

ah, well its not the thumbstick for me. It's the triggers for me. I thought it strange there would be a deadzone for triggers when you mentioned it...lol
That would definitely make my life easier. It doesn't help that this controller (one of those wireless logitechs) had the most sensitive triggers i'd ever seen even when it was brand new, now its just a big pain in the ass.
