"View Only" mode #60

Closed JimmyS83 closed 9 years ago

JimmyS83 commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I miss option to set up web interface as read-only - without options to change database, controls XBMC and so on for visitors..

un1versal commented 10 years ago

I dont think that is possible, but, in case it is, this will remain open.

At the moment the API can't access configuration settings for add ons, Without that there's no where to store an option to toggle between read/write mode and read only mode.

un1versal commented 10 years ago

I thought all settings are exposed to api?

ghost commented 10 years ago

I could only access the main XBMC settings, not add-on settings. I might have missed something. I'll have another look when I get a chance.

Hello fyfe, any news? I see that closed, co I tried WIMM 4.1.14, but no plugin settings avaible for me :(

ghost commented 9 years ago

I clicked the wrong close button last night and the comments didn't get added.

I've closed this for 2 reasons:

There's no API support for add-on settings which means there's no way to set whether or not we're in read only mode.
Internally WIMM would need a substantial re-write to support this.

:( Understand, even I find odd that addons it self cant have switch variable for themselves. But last hope: what about some manual variable, which could be added to configuration .xml of plugin by user? Something like "hidden" settings in advancedconfig.xml for Kodi itself.. Regular user doesnt need them, but advanced can use them..?

In kodi you have the option of using profiles and you can define what access each profile has to the sources you decided to setup at initial profile configuration time.

that is good enough for this use. Also you can lock profiles further and add only specific sources you want. an addon like this cannot go around having direct access to database anyway and change write permissions, it wouldn't be allowed.
