Could the adult channels be locked?

[Miles]

Hello. I noticed that the adult channels could be launched without a password in IPTV Stalker Video Add-on. Is there a way to lock these channels? Thanks.

System > Settings > TV > Parental Control > Enable and create a PIN

Right click on the channel you want to block > Choose Manage > Channel Manager > Parental Locked.

Unfortunately, the settings are lost with a Kodi reset/reboot.

I think this procedure only works in Live TV (client) not in the IPTV Stalker (video add-on). Right clicking the channel doesn't give an option for "Manage > Channel Manager > Parental Locked"

You are correct. I read your post too quickly. There is "some" protection in IPTV Stalker Plus, although I have never toyed with it. On the configuration page, there is a Parental tab. You can set a password there. That may prevent the adult channels from loading without the password, although I'm not certain. Test it and see. The only problem, of course, is a savvy person can disable password protection on the configuration page. However, if the person is too young to realize that or is older and not technologically savvy, it might turn the trick.

In the versions greater than 10.2.x, (or the 'new' Lite version), in the settings "FEATURES", click on "[Adult] Enabled?, which will allow the password entry to be enabled, and will then show the adult channels, which will require the password to be entered to open a channel.
It isn't very secure, as there is no check against allowing the password to be changed.

Sometimes, if you don't have a valid login to the server, the add-on could load up the unprotected adult channels from the server (these are just copied links, not specifically created for the server, and don't require server validation). If you don't have a password set in the older version of ISP, you will be able to view the adults without entering the password.
