Lock Media Player with password
 

I want to protect my media from all people who look to my phone. But how to do that for example with a security code or something similar. Maybe someone have any ideas or knowledge, or had escaped me an application that can do something like that im searching.

Thanks in advance for all answers

if you just don't want people being able to access your movies, you can set the media player to NOT look in certain folders. There is a thread if you search that will show you how to do it.

Thnx azz for reply and Thanks for pointing out the topic...
Solved this problem by writing a shortcut menu using bash script with switching folders of images and videos on such a dot before the name (similar to hidden .bash_profile :). I added the icon switching this and probably nobody guess that should push it to see something.

Thats pretty cool, you should find a way to share it with others. I would not want it to hide my main folder but just a sub folder so that the regular media is always there to view.

I know Gstreamer views a hidden folder by default though right? As I just added the standard video folder to my MPlayer list last night and it was a hidden folder.

An app that would do such things as lock contacts/conversations/email/photos/media player would be a great addition to many devices

to hardknox: not relevant - but what's the reasoning behind this requirement?

Maybe people just like to keep things private and secure?

Lets not beat around the bush here.

Homemade.

Selfshot.

Filthy.

Hot.



Pilot episodes of his new cooking show that he's obviously been told to keep hidden until the BBC complete the contract and he becomes the next Nigella.

Obviously!

Im not hiding porn at my Device arghhh #$%^@
I have database copy on my phone from my Client (Oracle DBA) and own graphic design art files, like projects, movies, animation...
That`s the reason why im hiding this files from other people

--
If someone need it...
Just download file from http://www.vsf.pl/share/swap-maemo.zip
and do that...

Login to root from Xterminal using:
sudo gainroot

Run command in terminal:
mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/.images/Private
mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/.videos/Private

Copy Folder from zip to Device or upload files using WinSCP to your N900

Upload swap.png to folder:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon

Upload Swap.desktop to folder:
/usr/share/applications/hildon

That`s all, reboot your device
After that You will see Application called Swap with icon from ActiveSync
If someone want to rename shortcut, then edit Swap.desktop and rename line Name=Swap to your own

It`s so simple... Im not dev and this script was perfect for me

Well, i have made an app for this (you can edit your password, enable/disable the service, etc...)
It is working very well in scratchbox.
But on devices applications are prestarted by default...it becomes more tricky to detect when an app starts, is launched from a widget, a file etc...

So i use it on my own device, whe eri manually disabled prestart...
My app tried to edit desktop file but it needs root rights

So i think i can't release my app on extras, i've no solutions...

Here a view of the control panel plugin...
