Force users to enter the correct pin code for given content.
Introduction
PinSentry is an addon that will allow you to set a pin code that you can then force to be input when you play a particular video file or navigate into a given TV Show or Plugin.
After install you need to:
- Go to settings and select your pin
- Enable which videos you want the pin to be displayed for (Either via Settings, Programs->PinSenty or Videos->Addons->PinSentry)
Pin Contol
Whenever a user selects an item that has been protected by PinSentry they will be prompted with a dialog like the following:
The correct pincode should be entered via the onscreen buttons or a remote control numeric pad in order to gain access. It you have "Allow Direction Keys In Pin Code" enabled in the settings then you can also use a pin code made up of Up, Down, Left and Right, this is useful if you have a remote control without numbers.
Configuring Access
In order to configure which files or operations require the entry of the pin number you can access the menu be either via:
- Videos -> Addons -> PinSentry
- Programs -> PinSenty
- Settings
That will present the main settings menu:
That will allow you to set values as follows:
- Movies

Classifications
Each country has their own set of classifications, each meaning different things. Pin Sentry currently supports the following countries classifications
- Australia
- Brazil
- Germany
- Hungary
- Ireland
- Netherlands
- UK
- USA
If you would like another countries classifications supported then please post a request to the forum. The classifications have been taken from the following documents:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_picture_rating_system
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_content_rating_systems
Note: Not all countries have TV Show classifications
The classifications used on your Kodi library will depend on the settings (and scraper) that you used when you loaded them into the library initially. It is always worth noting that some videos can end up with incorrect classifications being set in your library. There are two options in the PinSentry settings to help you identify videos that do not require a pin when using the current classification settings.
