Support Multiple Pin Codes for Parental Controls

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Great plugin!

However, I would like the option of having a pincode assigned to a specific 
certification, e.g. PG, PG-13, R, 7 years, 12 years, 15 years, etc. 
As I have two kids spaced with three years, they are not allowed to watch the 
same movies. The curreent parental controls divides movies in only two 
categories...

If I use the parental control option, together with unwatched or all movies 
category on the GUI, I get a list of ALL my movies and just a pin code for 
parental controlled movies. 
However, I don't want my kids to see the grown-up movies on the list, and even 
worse, I don't want to see 400 Disney movies in my adult list :-) 

Right now I have to use folders for each certification, and then use myvideos 
for the kid movies. So I only use Moving Pictures for grown-up movbies (from a 
seperate NASE folder)
I would like to use the Moving Pictures plug-in for everything!

If I make categories based on certification filters, and combine with parental 
control, I can solve the problem about having the 400 kid movies shown together 
with my grown-up movies.
But I still need to seperate G, PG and PG-13 from each other, with individual 
pin codes. That is probably the easy part for you guys :-)

BUT I also need to be able to group different regional ratings (i.e. PG, 7 
years & PG-13, 12 years, 11 år) together with the same pin code!
So pin codes must not be filter based, but certification rating based!
Each type of rating, from different kinds of regions/countries should be 
assigned a pincode. Then you can give same pincode to similar certifications, 
if you desire.

We could probably add the ability to store multiple PIN codes, each unlocking a 
different set of movies. That way the user interface in the GUI would stay the 
same and the changes to the config would not be too onerous.

We will definitely continue to stick with the filter based system though. This 
is by far the most flexible system and allows you to use any criteria you want.

Agreed on the filter based system - that is really good.
Just give me pincode options for each certification present in the database :-D

thx, your work rocks!
