Parental controls on Stremio? (aussie.zone)

Is there some way to have age rating or parental controls in the basic 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 that plug in seems broken.

I'm assuming that creating another account on the device itself (Chromecast, firestick, etc.) with another stremio account specifically for the kid is a bit more work than you'd like?

Huh.

The...idea just didn't occur to me.

Well, shit. Now I feel dumb(er).

Though in fairness...can -

  1. the same debrid account be linked with two different stremio accounts?

  2. can the default Stremio discovery service be replaced with a more kid friendly one? I know that they can just search for whatever, but out of sight out of mind.

  3. Does having two separate Chromecast accounts / Android TV accounts give two different sets of installed apps?

I like your idea; if it works it's an elegant solution, esp if the main account can be pin locked.

I'll check it out tonight and report back.

My solution is just a work around because it would be so much easier if Stremio did have separate accounts as part of it's function, but we work with what we have.

  1. It should unless your debrid service specifically restricts signing into multiple devices. Most just restrict multiple IPs

  2. I'm not sure to be honest because I haven't had to replace the default stremio discovery myself. I think someone else mentioned that you can. Or you could at least add a catalogue with pg-13 filters.

  3. I haven't done this before, but my understanding is, yes, it would give separate apps
