Viewing time restrictions for android tv??

by dudebrosis

I've got some form of Sony bravia, with android tv built in... ...the only parental control options seem to be "restricted profile" - which for various reasons seems pretty limited.

What i'd like is for some way to set time limits for individual apps, e.g. YouTube - 30 mins a day, but can't figure out a way to do it.

As it is I'm not a fan of android TV in a family setting, (it seems to lack the granularity required to accomodate very different ages and level of appropriate content) so anything that makes it even a bit better would be very welcome

Thanks!

For restricting apps, it's probably easier to go to your router and set internet access time restrictions on the AndroidTV's IP address. New routers make this easy. If you don't have one, check out Synology -- they make it easy to flip restrictions on/off with your phone. Doing that with a TV remote would be a pain.

As far as having different levels of users, well, that's a different problem. You could only allow casting from individual phones, maybe? Bravia processors are crap. Forget about doing it from the TV end.
