Parental control on imported video

[ehinkle27]

How do you enable parental control for imported DVD's? I have ripped about 20 of my DVD's to Divx and used RW_Metadata to download film data and ratings. But with parental control enabled and playing a movie that is rated R, does not prevent it from playing.

I posted this in another thread:


I downloaded the following MetaData plugin:

You will also need Nielm's IMDB plugin:

Import Nielm's IMDB Plugin and the above metadata one on to any machine. In my case I chose my laptop client because I didn't want anyone else to have to fool with this. Once imported be sure it is your selected STV. After that you can go to "Customize" under Detailed setup on the machine you imported it on. At the bottom of my list I had a new option: "Metadata Options". Set those up as you see fit. Under "Metadata save to DB" I had it save the .my files info to the DB. I also set it to overwrite but that is your choice.

With those configured you can then go to a movie in the videos under the DVD header and choose the IMDB Search. Once you choose the IMDB entry you want you will be presented with a "Save" option.

You could have configured the metadata tool to import automatically on a timed interval (I suspect that would only work if you imported it all on the server though) and/or there are option to run it immediately. You can either wait for the timer to elapse if you have it configured or you can run the data import manually. Once that is done and assuming IMDB retrieved ratings info then it should work and not only the machine that created the data should work but the default STV on other computers/extenders should work too. If IMDB doesnt retrieve ratings info then you can edit the .my file manually that was created in the DVD or dvd\video_ts directory to add ratings info.
