PIN numbers in My Videos

[reven]

build: #1.1.1840.4656

ive finally added pin numbers to my videos, ie can password protect a folder, someone finally actually asked for it so i did it .

configuration:
1.unzip new plugin to gbpvr folder (creates "Keypad" in skin folder)
2. now heres the cool part, you dont need to enter the config app to configure it, yay! all you have to do is go into the plugin, enter a "folder menu" (ctrl-o or "no name button" aka "function button" on a folder) and select "Set PIN" it will ask you to "Set Master PIN", this will allow you to enter a "Master PIN" of 4 digits which will be used to set every pin number on a folder, so if you thought an individual PIN number just reset it using the Master Pin.
3. If you want longer pins than 4 digits (minimum, max =20) you however must configure it and set a new Master Pin in the config app.
4. Removing a PIN from a folder, selected "Set PIN", enter "Master PIN" then select either "Clear" (will first clear the digits if some have been enter, in which case select clear again) OR enter a PIN of all zeros (quickest way).


You also dont need to edit the config.xml file this time, i got off my lazy arse and set it up so it does it for you, yay!

PIN numbers are hashed using the MD5 algorithm and stored then as plain text, this means the pin number itself is not stored so no one can hack it, and the MD5 algorithm is one way function, meaning if someone gets that HASH value (which is stored as plain text) there is NO WAY to reverse the process and get your pin number. that said, still dont use your credit card pins thats just silly

find any bugs, have any questions, just ask in the developers forum in the "my videos" thread.

enjoy.

Reven,

GREAT plug-in.

What I need to know is what is the "no name button" aka "function button" on the "new" Hauppauge 45 buton remote.

I have the old one with the "no name button", but can't use the new one, since all buttons are labeled.



Thanks again.

there is no button on the new remote that sends ctrl-o to gbpvr, so you need to edit the C:\windows\irremote.ini file and edit it so one of the buttons send the {ctrl}o command. eg VIDEOS={ctrl}o.
if you scroll down to the bottom of the file you should see a [gbpvr] section, you have to edit it there.
