I have a 1Tb USB drive stocked with my DVD collection categorised into "Family" / "Drama" / "Horror" / "Sci-Fi" etc. which I previously had attached to a WDTVHD device which was absolutely FANTASTIC for the intended purpose...
We have 3 kids, and 4 xboxes in the house (Guess that makes ME kid number 4...) randing in age from 5 to 11 (plus 40 for me...). Since the latest PogoPlug update, I find that the device is GREAT for sharing movies around the house with the kids, but I'm still using the WDTVHD in the living room because (primarily) ALL the movies on the drives attached to the PogoPlug are visible to ALL users connected via the LAN. I'm guessing that I can "Share" folders to the email addresses of my kids XBOX accounts so that the content will be restricted in the "Shared with me" view - but obviously all the other folders would still be visible under the "Local Drives" view...
What can I do about this? I want to put the WHOLE LIBRARY on the PogoPlug to make accessing the content consistent (Currently I have a 500Gb drive attached with only the "Family" content on it for the kids to see). If I then want the kids to see anything in another folder, I could sign into their xbox as myself to grant temporary access... There are of-course other implications; we could get a simple upnp receiver attached to the bedroom TV to extend content there when there's a "TV content conflict" of an evening, etc...
Obviously another BIGGIE in this scenario will then be "I want to see the content arranged in the folders they are stored in from the xbox - rather than ALL content mixed in together"... But I guess that is for another thread...
Anyone got answers for my scenario?
