[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1296309, member: 141969"] When you perform a rescan, you should always select [b]Enable channel movement detection[/b], as this avoids the creation of duplicates, [i]where possible[/i]. There are some types of channel change that TV Server cannot detect, and those do result in duplicates. In the UK it is necessary to rescan every few months (because they keep changing things), and occasionally duplicates result. I deal with this by sorting the channel list numerically (using the first tab on the "TV Channels" panel in "TV Server Config"), and then examining it for two channels with the same number (they will now be adjacent in the list). I then use the "Preview" button to determine which of the two channels is the non-working one, and delete it. This avoids non-working channels accumulating in the list. If your channel list is messed up, this is the easiest way to fix it. But remember that you lose all of the following: [LIST] [*]Selection status of channels (deselected channels will become selected again). [*]Channel renames (channels revert to their broadcast names). [*]Recording schedule (you will need to recreate this, which is not easy for TV series that are between seasons, and so not in the current broadcast schedule). [/LIST] I have not used an MP client, but as far as I know the MP client obtains all of its TV info dynamically from TV Server (i.e. the MP client does not maintain a cache of TV channels). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
