Been thinking of this since i started using Plex years ago, why don’t they have a Kids channel? A channel you can change the backdrop out, to something more like a pre-school crayon look and only have kids content from your collection that’s suitable for the little tikes. I know i could just make …

Why couldn’t you create a Kids user? You could then use the filters already established in Plex. You can filter on ratings, add labels to content you approve for the kids and add the label to the account. [2018-06-24_17-28-23]

As I stated in my first post, I know that I could do that. But for a child, the GUI could be hard and frustrating to maneuver in.

The account above is for a friends kids when they come over. My child is 25 now. Once I launch Plex and put them in the kids account I hand the remote to them and they play what they want. The kids are between 3 and 10. The 3 year old even knows how to control what he wants to play.

But would this allow you to change the backdrop and make changes to the icons?

Not as far as I know. But right now you are asking for a feature that would bloat the UI for most of the users. If you need different Profiles and load different Picture for a Media Server, just so someone has a more “colorful” experience (instead of a slick design), I guarantee Plex Pass users woul…

Not if you make the choice of backdrop local Storage and not a dev server storage concept. I’m not asking for templates and nor the sort, just the option to change, nothing more. How that would be considered bloat I don’t know, but give us the option and let the people do the rest on their local sys…

Very simple fix to this issue… Allow users to design custom GUI’s… MANY software programs allow this. Release the SDK for the GUI and then users can go nuts with it!!! Users could then share their GUI’s with others. Just like being able to design a new look/feel for Firefox, Chrome, etc… This…

I secound that, it’s like the plugins for finding meta data for your stuff. Make the option and let other free service companies sort it out from their databases. By doing that you are not violating the size of Plex, let alone slowering it down and makin’ it heavy to operate. Keep Plex as a core sy…

In the way Kodi does. Actually not a bad idea and worth a feature request. Not sure whetever it is already possible with plugins. But I guess not, I at least have not seen anything the like. But it’s not what is asked for here. You can create a Kids Channel, an age restricted account (it would be …

Just curious, do you work for for Plex Dreadeus?
