zaHrecsohbiw 14 Posted July 14, 2024 Posted July 14, 2024 My children have Emby accounts with "Maximum allowed parental rating" set, and the Live TV guide data is clearly filtered by this rating, which is good. However, this does not prevent their accounts from simply tuning to those channels. This behavior is the same on the web app and the Apple TV app. Here are screenshots from my account, viewing one of my children's accounts as well as a Live TV guide entry with an R-rated movie: And here is a picture while logged in to one of the child accounts, able to tune this channel (1076) (I won't upload a picture, but the Play button does work)
Luke 42079 Posted July 14, 2024 Posted July 14, 2024 HI, if you want to assign the channel a rating, then it will have it's visibility enforced by your maximum parental rating.

Thank you, this is what I've resorted to. It's an unfortunate solution though considering that many (most?) channels offer a wide variety of programming. If this isn't considered an oversight/bug, I would request that it get added as a feature. Even if it was something as simple as having the channel's parental rating automatically match the rating of the current EPG item. This would be less than ideal because, from the perspective of the end user, channels would constantly be getting added to and/or removed from the guide, but it would be a less consequential failure mode than no restrictions at all, and less consequential than completely blocking a channel that plays primarily ratings-compliant programming... at least in my opinion. 1
