profiles

I searched for “profiles” and this is one of the threads. Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Please help with only Apple TV2 setup. No other components. I’m familiar with WinSCP.

I have “Adult” (with password lock) and “Family” (without password lock) for log-in screens…….both “Adult” and “Family” have same plugins except if I want to add adult plugins to “Adult”, then I encountered some setup problems….please help

For “Family”, I don’t have password lock for Videos and Programs, etc (XBMC main menu).

For “Family”, I have password lock for System (XBMC main menu) and Videos > Video Add-ons > Get More…

I installed one of the adult plugins (empflix), but it added empflix to both “Adult” and “Family” under Video Add-ons of list/thumbnail, etc on my TV screen.

My question / my goal: How can I install empflix only to“Adult” ?

I followed the wiki at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Profiles

I attempted all Lock functions/Media Info/Media Sources per wiki page to no avail.

I tried the following per wiki page (it’s not working in my case), but I don’t think it’s applicable since the functionality of “add-on”

Quote:Configuring Scripts for Profiles
You have the ability to choose to display scripts on a per-profile basis, as well as globally. This functionality allows you to block other users from using scripts that contain objectionable material.
In order to use this functionality, simply place the scripts that you would like available to all users in the XBMC/Scripts folder. All per-user scripts should be placed in a /Scripts folder within the profile's data folder.

what I did is added the addon to my fav list and then locked the video section for my kids section (I actually hid it instead of locking it). and then you just tell your family to go to the fav icon and all your addons are there.

Question:

To HIDE your video section for your kids section,

could you please provide some pointers for the changes such as which specific file path/directory on the Apple TV2 via WinSCP.

Thank you!

Note: For "Family", I tried lock video section and favorite icon/list is prompted for password unlock......please I need your pointers to HIDE video section.

EDIT: I unlocked video section for "Family" profile and hide video section via System > Settings > Skin > Home window options. Favorite icon/list is good to go. Thank you for the suggestion of favorite icon/list!

TIP: Click Menu button once on AppleRemote (anywhere on XBMC home screen) will also bring up Favorite List on right side of the screen.

UPDATE - NOT EXPECTED RESULTS: I hid Videos for "Family" and I set up Favorites Icon/List, but I can still get to adult plugins this way....go to Favorites Icon/List, click a plugin, first selection is two dots (for previous/go back) > Add-on Videos > I see adult plugins!! (expected results should be password lock). Note: "Get More..." option on this same screen is password lock as expected.

hi,

i've some trouble with this profiles thing. i just created two profiles, one for us, one for the children. when i open one of these, the settings that are set in system - system - video output - video calibration aren't saved any more. with one profile i didn't had that kind of problems.

Do you have similar problems?

By the way, i copied the hole userdata folder from my mac. could that be the problem? i hadn't any issues by now...

brc

edit: forget about it: just a problem with the permission. copied the whole userdata folder with root - not mobile. "chown mobile userdata/ -R" solved the problem!
