Playnite Control Locker - darklinkpower/PlayniteExtensionsCollection GitHub Wiki
Description
This extension provides functionality to help in situations where your Playnite installation is shared with someone else and you want to limit certain functionality for safety reasons.
Functionality:
- Set a password combination of 6 "Yes" and "No" choices, selectable via dialogs. Failing the correctly input the configured password will set the extension to act in "Control mode" with the configured limited functionality
- Option to make Playnite close itself if the entered password combination is incorrect
- Options to prevent changing games Hidden and Favorite status
- Option to prevent deleting games. This is done by restoring any games that are deleted immediately after deletion
In general, it's recommended to only share your Playnite installation in Fullscreen Mode since it has limited functionality in what the user can change and do harmful things to your Playnite installation so I highly recommend to set Playnite to close if the password is incorrect in Desktop Mode.
Due to the limitations in what can extensions access is limited, the extension is currently very limited in functionality, although it's possible to implement certain things in the future until proper "Parental mode" is added to Playnite in the future.
Usage
- Go to the extension settings in MainMenu -> Add-ons... -> Extensions Settings -> Generic -> Playnite Control Locker
- Configure a password combination and configure settings
- Restart Playnite
