[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1121328, member: 82144"] I can absolutely see how TV Server's current behaviour and limitations would be [I]really [/I]annoying if one was rescanning frequently and insisted on deleting the channels that were inaccessible or not used. From a design perspective I'd call that a worst case scenario. The combination of those two elements (rescanning frequently and deletion) is pretty much the antithesis of how TV Server configuration was designed to be used. Well, let's just tease this out a bit. As mentioned in my previous post, the thing about having a blacklist is that you then have to have configuration for managing the blacklist. Cue all the people who say MP/TV Server configuration is way too complicated already. That's one reason why I'd like to explore the options before concluding that adding blacklist really is the most user friendly thing to do. If rescanning frequently is the reason for all this misery, my first question would be to ask why the frequent rescanning is necessary and what if anything can be done to avoid it? [/QUOTE]
