Limit folder access by time of day
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 6:59 amHi,
I've been using Serviio for a few days now and am very impressed (it's infinitely better than the samsung app provided with my TV).
There's one feature I'd really like to see though - the ability to limit folders by time of day. So, for example, I could specify that folder "kids cartoons" would be available unrestricted, whereas "horror films" would be after 8pm (when my children are in bed). Either just hiding the folder from my TV outside permitted hours, or blocking the playing of files outside permitted hours, would be good enough (personally I'd prefer it if Serviio were able to do both).
I guess this could be done either using profiles (define a profile with accessibility times, then assign each folder a profile), or just on a per-folder basis, from the library/folders list. Either way it would help me control what can, and can't, be watched during the day (by the kids).
Thanks for a great product
