[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1021041, member: 82144"] Hello Wbunaarf I think you're right that this functionality doesn't exist, and personally I have no desire to add such a functionality. Though I didn't participate in that discussion that you linked, I recall briefly talking about some of Mark's motivations for that discussion elsewhere later: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/epg-grabbing-only-grab-from-selected-channels-not-working-for-tv.109905/#post-917483[/url] Basically my POV is that I don't see a real "use case" for only searching within the current channel group. If the problem is that you want to completely hide/ignore channels that you're not interested in then I think there are alternative and better solutions to the problem. For example, I think it is reasonable for the search to not include EPG for channels that are either not enabled or not in any visible group. In other words, if your undecodable channels were disabled or only in the "all channels" group and you'd disabled showing the "all channels" group then I would expect search to ignore programs from those channels.

So, like I say I have no interest in adding such a functionality. Even if I did, right now I have no desire to work on anything in the TV plugin as such work would have to be redone in TVE 3.5. I think it would be far better to redesign the TV plugin from "ground up" at one time in future... mm [/QUOTE]
