hi
what about just putting the authorized movies onto the "public/shared
mpeg player" and give no access to internet/lan (or restrict
downloadfilesize) and no access to cdrom/dvd-drive?
"- the location of the md5 directory can be in ~/.mplayer/config
- should be 2 or 3 places to get the md5 for any file"
if the "scriptkiddie" is able to modify the playlist, it'll also be able to alter the md5s i guess
