MythVideo Parental Controls: Password per level

Description

4 levels of Parental Control is wonderful, but there is only one password (used for changing levels). It would be much more useful for there to be a password at each level. This way, an end user can give one password to the level 2 viewers, another to the level 3 viewers, and keep the level 4 entries to himself. Attached is a patch to do just that. It assumes that L1 is always general viewing, that you can -always- lower the level (ie, always move to a more restrictive view), and that a password can open it's own level or any level under it (thus users only need learn one password).

(In [14705]) Closes #3973

This patch was contributed by Doug Young (and modified by me, any bugs or other brokeness are mine).

  • Added ability for a unique PIN to protect parental level 2 and 3.
  • Disallow default parental level view without a PIN (if required).

Caution: A functionality change in this patch:

Before this patch a PIN (if set) was required for any level change. The new PIN levels currently allow for access to levels 2 and 3 without a PIN (by default). If you want the old behavior you need to set "Parental Level 2 PIN".

This can be changed if it turns out to be a bad idea.

PIN checking:

For a level all PINs for that level and up are allowed. If no PINs are found in the first direction, the first valid PIN at a lower level is used. No PINs = all access.
