[Request] Kiosk mode

Hi,



I have already posted the same in the skin section but didn’t get an answer.

Is there any plan to implement a kiosk mode in Mediastream so that Plex finally becomes family friendly from the get-go? (i.e. without installing another skin)



Cheers,



Luca

Okay replying to myself… I’ll soon apply for a ninja position.



I have no coding skill nor knowledge, but if you are interested in adding Kiosk mode to Plex Home Theatre here are the modifications you need to do in the Mediastream skin. (reachable by right clicking and choosing “show package content” on Plex Home Theater.app)



1- SkinSettings.xml



Add the following after line 101





Disable slideout menu

Enable Kiosk Mode

Skin.ToggleSetting(kiosk)

!Skin.HasSetting(kiosk)

GeneralSkinOption





2- OptionsMenu.xml



Add the following at line 6



Skin.HasSetting(kiosk)





And you will have a nice new “kiosk” settings functionality.

what is kiosk mode. how is it different than just being full screen?

I’m confused as well :S

found this from xbmc forums i guess its the same thing. i can see how that would be useful so the kids dont mistakenly change view settings http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=114669
