Hide blocked DVD's and videos

[jimbruskalski]

Hi, I am a new user (as in this is the first time ever coming to this site) and want to know if GB-PVR either has or if there is a plugin that has the functionality to not only block certain DVD's and videos, but actually hide them from showing. This is the end result I am looking for:

There are some sort of parental controls feature. I can block DVD's and/or videos from my collection. Not only does this block them from being watched, but does not show them in the library, unless I log in as a parental user, etc.

Does this exist yet? I am thinking of migrating from SageTV to this system; however, there are a few things that I need in order to do that. This is one of them. Thanks.

my vids does pin protect (which you would have read in the other thread), but doesnt hide them. im going to add a "Rating" system to the next version (unless i forget) which will automatically ask for a pin on a certain "rating" eg pin protect everything over "M15+" (or whatever you choose).

but i dont want to "hide" them.

Reven,
I tried doing PIN protection on directory but I never saw the option until I drilled down to a video. Did I miss something?

The Video Archive plug-in also does this. It uses groups that have access rights to certain videos (directories) and then assigns groups to users, which can have pins.

just press the "popup menu" key (usually either f11 or "home" ("go" or "menu")) and then select "edit" "set pin" (unless you rearranged the menu) on a folder to set the pin for that folder

Reven,
It was the F11/go button. However, when in the directory popup menu it doesn't like the master pin stating "The PIN you inputted was the incorrect Master PIN". I used the 0000 master pin. I also changed the master pin yet it still didn't let me edit the PIN for the directory I wanted to change.

open up the "config.xml" file and delete the masterpin node from the myvideosplugin section, that will let you reset the master pin.
