Is there some way to have age rating or parental controls in the free version of Streamio so that the kids don’t end up getting SpongeBob intermingled with House of the Dragon?
I’ve tried Nuvio also, and while that gives a pin / user accounts, it doesn’t stop kids from altering settings etc.
Ideally, I’d want a system like Jellyfin has. Is that possible?
PS: on Nuvio, I had the idea of removing all plugins bar this one for the kids account
https://kids.gstream.stream/manifest.json
so that it’s at least obfuscated, but it seems broken.
I don’t think there are any parental controls, as last I remember seeing a conversation about it, one of the devs spoke about it being incredibly difficult to implement. But there may be some addons that can help a little like
While the Stremio app doesn’t have a settings lock feature, if you’re using Android, per this Reddit thread you can at least disable access to community add-ons by switching the device type in the Stremio settings to FireOS.
Per this page on the Stremio GitHub, apparently the default Stremio content search plugin, Cinemeta, is configurable from the web client to restrict what appears in searches based on age ratings. As the other comment pointed out, they seem to restrict that feature to paid users, so as an alternative per this documentation, AIOMetadata is a third-party alternative to Cinemeta with its own parental control feature. The associated AIOStreams plugin apparently also incorporates parental control functionality.
