[ PROGRAM BRIEF: MEDIA FILTERS ]

Your films. Your rules. Your box.

SurviveRx builds household media filters on the appliance itself, for the exact films and shows your household already owns. Fully offline. No cloud account. No subscription feed of someone else's decisions.

Program status: in testing, not yet shipping

One film, as the box sees it

Example

  • 0:41:12 · Word muted · Strong language
  • 0:58:03 · Scene skipped · Sensual scene
  • 1:03:55 · Subtitles hidden · Sexual talk

Every moment on a real title is reviewed and confirmed by a person before it counts.

01 / The Idea

Made on your box. Not downloaded.

Most content filters are feeds. A service somewhere else watches, decides, and rents you its decisions. This program works the other way around: the box makes its own filters, in your home, for the copies you actually own.

For media you already own

Films and shows stored on the box or on a USB drive. The program works on your household’s own library, not a streaming catalog.

Matched to your exact copy

A filter applies only to the exact edition it was made for, verified byte for byte before every playback. One cut of a film never inherits a filter made for another.

Nothing leaves the house

Listening, timing, review, and playback all happen on the appliance. No cloud account, no upload, no telemetry.

No filter subscription

You never rent someone else’s decisions. The box makes the filter, you review it, and it stays yours.

02 / How It Works

Hear. See. Decide.

Ask the box to check a title and it does the work in your home, on your copy. Here is what it does today, in plain terms.

HEAR

It hears the dialogue.

Local speech recognition reads the film’s dialogue start to finish and marks flagged words and lines with exact timing. Anything it is unsure about stays a suggestion until you confirm it.

SEE

It watches the picture.

Local image models look for nudity and sensual scenes across the whole timeline, then hand you a shortlist of moments to review.

LISTEN

It listens for meaning.

Violence, substances, and frightening moments are covered mainly through what is said and heard. That coverage is partial today, and the box labels it partial every single time.

DECIDE

You make the final call.

Every suggested moment lands on a timeline. Accept it, adjust the timing, reject it, or add your own. Nothing counts until a person confirms it.

Filtered playback runs in the program's own player on the box. Apps and devices that cannot enforce a filter are labelled unfiltered, never quietly treated as safe.

03 / The Controls

Plain words, not numbers.

Every category has four settings, written in words you could read to a ten year old. You never tune a score or a threshold.

Strong language

Heard directly from the dialogue.

  1. Off

    Plays as recorded.

  2. Strong only

    Filters the harshest words.

  3. Standard

    Adds moderate words. Mild words like damn and hell play.

  4. Everything

    Filters every flagged word, even mild ones.

Nudity

Watched for on the picture.

  1. Off

    Plays as recorded.

  2. Strong only

    Filters explicit nudity.

  3. Standard

    Adds partial nudity.

  4. Everything

    Filters every scene with any nudity.

Violence and gore

Mostly from spoken words today. Labelled partial.

  1. Off

    Plays as recorded.

  2. Strong only

    Filters graphic injury shown in detail.

  3. Standard

    Adds scenes where blood is shown.

  4. Everything

    Filters all fighting, even without blood.

The same ladder covers sexual talk, sensual scenes, substances, and frightening moments. Each person gets a profile with its own settings, and any title can carry its own overrides.

When a moment plays, the box can

  • Mute

    the sound for a word or a line

  • Skip

    past a whole moment

  • Hide

    the subtitle line, sound keeps playing

  • Stop

    the film at a moment you choose

Chosen per category, per person. A strong word can be muted while a scene is skipped. An adult with the owner sign-in can always choose the original through one explicit confirmation. A profile that requires filters has no such switch.

04 / The Standard

Ready means proven.

This is the standard the program publishes and ships against. A filter earns the word ready only when every rule holds, per title and per category.

  1. 01A suggestion is never a finished filter.

    A model run never marks a title ready. Ready means a person reviewed the category and confirmed the moments.

  2. 02Measured against real playback.

    Detection and timing are measured against actual playback, per category, before a release. A filter that has not been measured is not called ready.

  3. 03Partial is labelled partial.

    If a category is covered only in part, the title page says which part and why, in plain words. Violence, substances, and frightening moments carry that label today.

  4. 04Not sure means said so.

    If the box cannot check a title or a category, it says not supported instead of guessing.

  5. 05Filtered never pretends.

    If a title was never checked, or nothing in it applies to the person watching, the filtered player refuses and says why. The unmodified film never plays under a filtered label.

  • Frightening momentsfrom spoken words onlypartial

An example, not a promise about any specific film. Every real title reports its own measured states.

05 / Sharing

Corrections travel. Films never do.

Owners who correct or create a filter can choose to share it. Sharing is opt-in, every time, and the film itself never moves.

A shared filter carries

  • The title and year
  • A fingerprint of the exact edition
  • When each moment starts and ends
  • Each moment’s category and strength
  • A random pen name and signature

It can never carry

  • The film, or any piece of it
  • A single spoken line
  • Your file names
  • Your name, or anything about your household

Not as a promise to behave. The file format refuses those fields outright.

You see it before it leaves.

Export shows exactly what will be sent, down to the literal file contents, before you save anything.

You carry it yourself.

Today a shared filter moves on a USB stick or between two boxes in one household. There is no upload service and no central catalog.

Never applied blind.

On the receiving box a shared filter arrives as suggestions. The box checks each claimed moment against its own copy, and only moments the box itself confirms can be accepted in bulk. Everything else waits for a person’s review.

06 / Direction

What is still being built.

In development

Trained coverage per category

Today the box hears dialogue and watches for nudity and sensual scenes. Trained detectors for violence, substances, and frightening moments are in development. Each ships only when it meets the standard above.

In development

A wider sharing circle

Households that opt in would let good corrections improve filters everywhere, still timing data only, never media. It ships only when it earns the same standard.

In development

Availability

The media filter program is in testing. It is not listed as a shipping feature yet, and this page does not change what a pre-order includes. When it ships, it ships against this page.
