[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1094721, member: 18896"] Well the "ignore on scan" setting it at show level, but you might have more then the roughly 600 shows that I have in mine. Takes me about 3 minutes to go through my entire collection, and configure more than half to do the "ignore on scan" on. Once a year I'll recheck my entire collection, incase shows I kept changed their status. Once you have done the entire collection once, maintenance is much less important due to the much smaller delta. Of course I never redo my database, except when I am forced to like on that forced power shutdown. Was still able to rely on a backup, but that was a manual backup of like a month old (before the auto-backup script I use now), and of course it was "before" I had done a major 'view' reshuffle (who needs backups right?), so it still costed me a lot of time. It is all that time I put into customizing my database that I do not want to redo. The re-assignment of shows into one or more views is really a lot of work afterwards when you have build up the structure over years on each show individually. If you do not want to do the work, and still have the risk of corruption (this is all still guesswork that the "ignore on scan" lowering of the import load is a solution to begin with), you can always rely on my script to do the backups automatic and restore the last good backup immediatly when corruption is detected. That is good to have anyway, as it also fixes hardware issue corruption causes such as a bad sector, or power loss that no MP-TVSeries update could solve. [/QUOTE]
