Parental Control, users and admins, and a new Help centre with video tours

Lock any folder with a PIN on every TV and phone, give family members their own User or Admin role, sign TVs in with a code from your phone — plus step-by-step help and six video tours.

Silux Media 1.0.2 brings the features families asked for most, on every app and TV: Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Samsung, LG, iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.

Parental Control

  • Lock any folder — and everything inside it — with a 4–8 digit PIN
  • Locked titles are hidden everywhere until the PIN is entered on that device, and lock again after a few hours
  • Enforced by your server, so it can't be bypassed from a TV or phone

Users and admins

  • The account holder is automatically the admin and adds people when they're ready
  • Users browse, watch, listen and read; admins can also manage and delete media
  • Deleting only happens in the web app — and on your own server, deleted files go to a recycle folder you can restore from

Easier everywhere

  • Sign a TV in with a short code approved from your phone — no typing passwords with a remote
  • Download films and songs to watch offline
  • Play a whole folder or series without stopping, with Autoplay next
  • Books: a built-in EPUB and PDF reader

New: Help centre and video tours

Every screen and setting is now explained step by step in the Help centre, with six short video tours — from signing in to Parental Control.
