Feature Request: Solution to the Idiot/Mischievous kid/roomate problem

<< < (3/3)

wolffe:
For several reasons:

1. I already have all the hardware I need.

2. Adding Ids to the system adds unnecessary complication.... why have a second device which would require a mixer to play out of the Wife and Kid's laptops/pcs/phones?

3. The BIG one: Security and accessibility of this type should *always* be handled by the server... Let's take this to absurdity: what if my web browser was responsible for giving me permissions on this forum? That wouldn't be good at all. Additionally, a lot of us have JRiver passed through our firewall so we can use our library at or in our cars via a mobile device. This means that there is an exposed interface (JRiver) on the public internet. I don't know if you have ever looked at your router's logs, but at least in my case I have several hundred to thousand random requests from script kiddies looking for open goodies.... security through obscurity is never a usefull option.

Besides, this shouldn't be very difficult to implement, at least on a basic level with the addition of a "guest" account.
