I love that I can create user accounts for my children, and have good control over what they can / can’t watch. And Tautulli is also great for seeing what they have been watching.

But what I would like to see is the ability to control _how much_ they’re able to watch, across all devices. eg, max 2 hours / or 2 films per day - no earlier than 9am (so they can’t watch before school 😉 ) and no later than 7pm.

This would roll-over between devices, so 30 mins on tablet + 90 mins on TV = 120 mins used up.  
(Could cause some arguments given the account is shared between 2 kids, but I’m ok with that 🙂 )

Perhaps allowing them to ‘bank’ time as well might be good, lets them have a lazy afternoon one weekend.

And of course ability to override etc with a ‘parent’ account - ideally not just the primary account.
