This report addresses only a single issue; If you encounter multiple issues, kindly create separate reports for each one.

Description of the bug

I've created a user that can only view 12/12+/12A and lower films. It is correctly filtering out films above this rating when they're logged in. However, in the "My media" list, it is still showing artwork from an 18 movie for "Movies". I don't want my 12 year old kid seeing movie artwork from horror films. Same thing for "Collections"

Reproduction steps

Create a user that can only watch 12 films. Add some 18 films to the library. Log in as that user, look at "My media" artwork.

What is the current bug behavior?

The bug is that it doesn't filter out the movie artwork

What is the expected correct behavior?

It should not use artwork from movies that you can't see for Movies or Collections. Presumably for Shows too.

@felix920506 Tested on 10.10.1 and still an issue, but maybe not a bug, but a design flaw?

From what I can understand, the images used in My Media are automatically generated and stored when the library is scanned?
And then that image never changes unless the library changes. That image is then used for the library globally which explains why parental controls aren't being taken into consideration.
It would most likely require a significant change which would either:

generate the thumbnail on the fly, taking ratings into consideration, whenever the libraries are displayed
generate and store library thumbnails for each rating and storing a selection of those pregenerated thumbnails for use later depending on which rating the user has access to

I do think it is a design flaw because all users see the same library picture. I think one way to mitigate is to introduce an option to only generate rating safe thumbnails so that everyone sees the safe picture. But that is not doable for 10.10 cycle

Library images are shared between all users and created based on the content. Currently there is neither a way to restrict the parental rating used to select the used images nor can you set images on a per-user basis. Both of this would remedy the above but none is implemented. Since we already had a similar issue for the splashscreen, we could likely reuse that. Won't happen in 10.10 though.

@thornbill, thanks for finding this duplicate.

I will add to any design choices made here that I allow access to content based on tags not ratings. I add a custom tag to any media that I want available to my children as the rating system in Australa is not adequate imo.

If the artwork is to remain auto generated, then I think this model needs to be considered. If the artwork can be manually selected, then people can upload whatever they think is appropriate for the profile.

This is still an ongoing issue that should be resolved.

Parental controls/Account limitations should be respected across all areas of the application.
I my context, the account I have setup for my children can only access media that has been tagged with a special tag (e.g. 'OUR-KIDS'). Because the account is limited by this condition, all other aspects of the account/interface should have the same limitations applied.

+1 collection thumbnails should be abiding parental control settings for users that have these activated.
