How to Block Specific Shows?
At Durioo+, we give you the power to curate exactly what your children see. Whether you want to hide a specific series or focus your child's learning on certain topics, the Manage Channels feature is your best tool.
There are two ways (see tab below) to do this: the Settings Method (for bulk changes) and the Shortcut Method (while watching).
VIP feature. Blocking specific shows is available to VIP subscribers only. If you are on the Free plan, upgrade to VIP to use this feature.
Does blocking a show remove it from the app entirely?
No. Blocking a show hides it from a specific profile's view. Other profiles on the same account are not affected unless you block the show on those profiles too. The show is still available to any profile where it has not been blocked.
What is the difference between blocking a show and using the age filter?
The age filter (set per profile) automatically hides all content above a chosen age rating across the board. See How to Set Video Age Limits.
Blocking a specific show lets you remove one particular title regardless of its age rating. Use it when a show is within the age range but is not right for your child for another reason.
Both features work together. You can set an age filter and also block specific shows on top of it.
Use this if you want to search for a specific channel or manage multiple blocks at once.
📱 On Durioo+ App (Mobile Devices):
Open the Durioo+ App.
Go to Settings and Parental Controls.
Tap the Profile you wish to manage.
Tap 'Manage Channels'.
Use the search bar or scroll through the list.
Switch the toggle to gray to block the channel. It will immediately disappear from that child’s view.
💻 On Web Streaming Platform:

💡 Why can't I find a show I blocked?
If you block a channel:
It will not appear on the Home Screen.
It will not appear in Search Results.
It will be blocked on all devices (TV, Phone, Web) for that specific profile.
To Unblock: Simply follow Method 1 and toggle the channel back to ON.
Use this if your child is currently watching a show and you decide it’s not right for them at that moment.
While the video is playing (or on the video details page), look for the Three Dots (⋮) icon on the right side of the screen.
Tap/Click the dots to open the menu.
Select 'Block this Channel'.
The channel is now blocked and the app will return to the home screen.
