    Default Airplay from one device and not others?

    I want to be able to use Airplay from my iPad (works great), but not from the kids' iPhones. They think it's hilarious to wait until I'm watching a movie and hijack the boxee using Airplay right at a suspenseful part. Obviously I've asked them to stop but it'd be great to block them out. Can't seem to find a device control setting. Any ideas?

    Certainly not possible with the Boxee Box unfortunately. There might be some way to block other devices from access via your router.

    Personally, I'd take away their iDevice for a day or two if they can't resist the temptation

    It's getting to that point, believe me!

    Put them on a VLAN without access to the other network devices.

    I actually enjoy this "feature" so I hope it doesn't go away or it becomes a toggle.
