Background and Origins of MediaPIG
A brief origins story matured under the fruit of necessity.
2005 - MediaPIG Original Internal Release
Originally developed for internal purposes.
2010 - MediaPIG Enhanced for Children with Disabilities
Revisions to support children who required a more bullet proof simpler video management solution.
A fully managed solution preventing any possibility of changing settings or viewing unwanted content was the goal.
2023 - MediaPIG Refinements for Public Release
MediaPIG has proven for many years to be safe for children and easy for vitually anyone to use.
MediaPIG has proven to prevent children from accessing directories, tampering with files, deleting content, changing settings or twiddling with features not understood or intended for them.
As a bonus... The addition of strong 'Parental' controls over what content children have access to has proven effective.
Control over whole categories, per MOVIE, per SHOW or even per EPISODE is possible with MediaPIG.
