Hi list,
for some time I think about user profiles on the vdr. It would be a big change which cannot be implemented via plugin but has to be done within vdr.
But with the new suid stuff vdr is not far away from that.
My first thoughts about that:
1. Possibility to create VDR users according to the users on the machine. After startup vdr will show a menu to select a user. Password should be a pin (e.g. 0815). Something that can be entered via remote control
2. vdr calls suid and runs as the selected user. Advantage: access to users home (read+write)
3. seperate channel lists for each user
4. limited users who cannot modify their channel lists (e.g. kids)
I am not quite sure how much work this would be. Maybe there are some others who have more ideas concerning user profiles. That would be something real new what no other SettopBox can do.
Regards Peter
