PIN-code protection of folders in npvr

[peanut]

It would be good if Some folders in Video Library, recordings and picture Library have a pin-code protection becouse they may have content that are not suitable for children. There should be a function for specifying a pincode that must be entered before the folder is allowed to be opened/watched.

We had this in gbpvr, I'd welcome it back too

"me too"! It would be great to be able to set a default as well (new recordings automatically pin-coded or automatically not protected at the users choice).

Expanding on the same idea, if such a feature were implemented, I'd like to be able to set a time that the PIN would be remembered for too, eg, you enter it once and then don't need to again for the next 2 hours. One of the things I loath about Sky HD boxes (when I have to use one at my in-laws) is how it doesn't let you channel flick without having to enter the PIN each and every time you view a channel that needs it. Even if you just typed it in 5 seconds ago.

We'r not talking pincodes to watch live-tv or recordings, but certain folders in Video library.

I know that. I was just giving an example of how not having the PIN remembered for a while could be annoying. It applies equally well to protected folders. I wouldn't really want to browse into a folder, enter the PIN, browse elsewhere, then return to that folder shortly afterwards and have to enter the PIN again. Sure, the ability to always prompt for the PIN should be an option too (timeout set to 0 minutes), but I can envision the fairly standard scenario of the kids being off to bed for the evening and you just want NPVR to stay "unlocked" for a period of time.
