Hello,

I'm new to the NAS world. Just got my 213J setup. Really like it so far!

I have the 3 main media folders - photo, music, video. I can see them on each of the TV's in the house when I browse to the multimedia players.

Here's where I need help....

I want a way to keep the kids (5 & 8) from being able to watch a PG13 or R rated movie. How can I do this? I've tried setting up group access, but when I browse to the folders through the TV's, I'm never asked for a group profile or password.

Best case scenario would be I have 2 folders - Kid Movies & Adult Movies.

The Kid Movies folder is open to whoever dares to browse there to watch their shows.

For Adult Movies, I would like for users to be required to enter a password in order to open the folder - whether accessing the Diskstation thru a computer or TV. Is this possible? Thanks!!!
 
No. The TV's internal computer is not that smart.

Just put the stuff on a USB drive and don't encrypt. Plug it in as you wish.
 
For most users I think if I just setup scheduled backups throughout the day that should be fine. But for the others, is there any way to have the NAS or laptop initiate a backup automatically when the laptop connects to the network? Maybe also do a check to see when the last backup was performed?
