We both have iphones and like the fact that we can just use the remote app to stream any of our adult collection to whichever room we are in when we get down to business, which is often, and everywhere in the house.
The problem is we haven't found a way to either lock or password protect certain movies. I don't like the fact that anyone visiting can scroll through our apple tv menu and see all the **** in our collection.
Is there a way to password protect certain movies, or hide them somewhere in apple tv so we can still access them conveniently from the apple tv menu, but visiting in-laws or little kids won't be able to see or access such films.
The big thing here is that we want to be able to stream our adult videos from our main imac server whenever we want, but still have them hidden or protected in a way that only myself or my wife can see them or access them.
It seems to be that the easiet solution for us would be to ensure that all of our adult videos are tagged with an 'x' rating, and then have videos with this rating automatically require a password to view.
We both want to be able to access the same files from the central itunes server. I don't really want to have to shink them down and put a copy of each onto both of our devices. I like having access to all of our content in the same place, rather than spread throughout multiple devices.
You could probably use something like Subler to alter video tags to 18 rated (or whatever equivalent for your location), and then enable AppleTV parental controls, but that would probably still give you the film titles which might be dubious for kids/family/relatives and an icon in the listings which might make granny blush. It would presumablylist details and just ask for a password when wanting to play.
Same issues really apply with Music with non-family/relative friendly cover art or the Trailers section which ignores parental controls and may show graphic movie poster art and allow trailers to be played (at least it used to).
You might try seeing if you can have 2 separate user accounts on the computer - one with general, one with restricted stuff and select between Home Sharing accounts on the AppleTV which now allows different logins supposedly - not tried this myself. I have tried some time ago having separate user accounts with different content streaming from the same computer (I forget why) but basically it only worked with the currently logged in account not the switched out user - this was however with AppleTV1 which synced/streamed with individual iTunes libraries rather than using Home Sharing.
It would be nice to use our apple tv without worrying about granny getting offended when she comes to visit. Those adult video covers have a habit of always showing up in the preview images. Not to mention the titles alone would make many people blush.
There could be a simple option embedded within the movie files's preferences like an 'adult' checkbox. Checking this box would automatically block this selected file from showing up in the menu or the preview image when safe search is turn on. Turn it off, and all the adult selections come back. Simple.
Drives us crazy too, and we've had a few close calls w/Granny! Here's what I did to minimize the embarrassment potential: First I grabbed all Adult Movies and labeled them with the Genre "N/A" (you can create a genre with any name you like). Next I created a simple image about 1000 x 500 pixels that has the characters "N/A", centered and much smaller, and saved it as a jpg and assigned it to all our adult (N/A) movies' Artwork. Now whenever I add a new video, I just select the "N/A" Genre and assign the "N/A" Artwork Image. This a lot safer and more easily explainable as a glitch, or missing files or whatever.
I had the same problem. The only really safe way to hide content is to create multiple itunes libraries. I run all the "family" content on the home PC and run age restricted movies off of my laptop. Homesharing allows you to authorize up to 5 seperate libraries and so its possible to manage seperate libraries and access them via Apple TV.
S: That actually brings me to my next question, because I feel like people neglect to talk about the entrepreneurship that goes into working in the adult film industry. Do most people have an agent or studio they work with, or do you have to seek out scenes on your own?
But I also make money by putting out my own amateur content on tube sites like PornHub, and doing other things like solo camshows. I get money from the tube sites through ad revenue from the site, and with camshows, I make tips.
I know some people who charge $7.00 per minute for a private show and others who make $900 exclusively in tips for a two-hour camshow. And there are some people who only make $150 for six hours of work. It really comes down to how you market yourself.
For me, I feel like the moment I got my first check in 2014 and saw that my first scene was out there on the internet, that was it. In a way, you could say it reaffirmed my decision to continue doing what I was doing, and before I knew it, I was booking my next job.
I will always stand by my fellow sex workers, especially because I know being in porn gives me a platform where I can speak about the issues that affect our communities. All of us face stigma from civilian society, but people, for stupid reasons, are more okay socially and legally with porn than they are with escorts.

I dropped out of college, thanks largely to my heavy drinking and self-destructive behavior, and moved across the country. I became more and more promiscuous within my own private life. I was drinking more heavily and started a blog about my hedonistic behavior that kind of took off in that dark corner of the internet.
Solstad: The blog caught the attention of a successful femdom (female domination) sex worker, who reached out to me and essentially recruited me. She told me that it could be really lucrative and she thought I would be really good at it. She showed me how to get set up, and introduced me to some important people in the industry who could help me make as much money as possible. I ended up traveling out to Oregon to film with her and she kind of pushed me to open up my own studios with my own content.
It honestly seemed like fun to me at the time; I no longer needed to have a boss and I could quit my job and do whatever I wanted to do. I had no moral compass and was all about myself anyway. As it turned out, I was very, very good at it, and became one of the top-selling creators of this content almost immediately. The attention, the power trip, the ego, the wealth, the vanity and the pride of it all was intoxicating. I could basically get men to do anything I wanted and my extravagant life was being completely funded by men I treated as slaves. Year after year, I would consistently top the charts of those producing this kind of content. I was constantly encouraged to go deeper into the lifestyle and become more extreme. I was paid to travel around the country and attend different adult content creator conferences, and things kind of spiraled from there.
Solstad: I suffered a horrible tragedy a few years ago. At the time, I prayed harder than I ever had in my life. I felt like Jesus did nothing. I felt like God had turned his back on me and so I did the same to him.
At the same time, I started going to a beautiful old Catholic church near me somewhat regularly just to try to reconnect with those feelings I had in Italy. A little while later I set up an appointment and spoke to a priest at length.
I now know Jesus always answers prayers, just not in the way you want him to or expect him to. He answered my desperate prayers all those years ago in the midst of the greatest tragedy of my life by leading me to his church, getting me to finally see the truth about the rampant sins I was committing, pushing me to grow in virtue and to turn away from sin so that I could be with him and my lost loved one in heaven. I am now so grateful and my heart is constantly full.
Teen movies resonate with audiences of all ages, and these 25 films are the best the genre has to offer.

These cinematic favorites magnify the hopes, dreams, fears, and aspirations of young people, bringing them to life on the big screen with witty dialogue, memorable soundtracks, and grand romantic gestures.
While the genre revolves around teenage culture, these films serve as time capsules that capture the essence of a particular era, often featuring breakthrough performances from future stars. The best teen movies, such as The Breakfast Club, Clueless, and Mean Girls, not only entertain, but also offer insightful commentary on the trials and triumphs of the teenage experience, exploring the importance of social circles, the intensity of first loves, and the promise of a brighter future. These 25 films have something to offer everyone, encapsulating the universal themes that make the teenage years such an unforgettable time in life.
The Edge of Seventeen stands out in the crowded field of teen movies due to its authentic portrayal of adolescent angst and the stellar performances of its cast. Hailee Steinfeld's nuanced portrayal of Nadine captures the essence of a disaffected teenager struggling to find her place in the world, while Woody Harrelson's turn as the witty Mr. Bruner adds depth and humor to the film. The film's ability to tackle weighty themes such as grief, self-discovery, and the complexities of relationships with sensitivity and grace sets it apart as a true gem in the realm of teen cinema.
