[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 874397, member: 82144"] Hi doveman First, my personal opinion is that Freeview/Freesat UK is not so unique that a more general solution not be considered. DVB-T and DVB-* in general is mostly very standardised. I don't see any information in the ScanChannelsBDA log that TV Server does not already have access to when it scans, and as far as I'm aware there is no technical reason that prevents us from enabling scanning from the MP GUI (within the TV plugin). There is time availability and desire of course, but I'm sure you are aware of those factors already. Is there information in the ScanChannelsBDA logs that you think TV Server particularly needs to be retrieving/using, or did you simply think of ScanChannelsBDA as a potentially useful tool because you thought/think it is impossible to implement scanning from the UI with TV Server? Given the above (and assuming I haven't missed anything), the things that you're asking for seem to be mostly focussed around usability within an MP GUI. I mean, when I read your post, I think... well TV Server config can do that, and that, and that ... tick, tick, tick on the list... and I ask myself what am I missing here (?). Just to try and "tease" out your idea a little more... what is the primary driver for this idea? Is it that you hate the way TV Server configuration works? Is it that you hate RDP'ing in to your server to do these tasks? Is it that your channel list is changing so often that it becomes hard to manage? Maybe a combination of those and other things... My perspective is coloured by my limited time and because I'm aware of other significant issues which seem more important. I'm also running a single seat installation, and my channel lists might change once every few months if that (meaning I scan very rarely). I guess what I'm saying is that obviously the ability to scan from the MP GUI would be cool, but I personally don't have a problem using TV Server configuration. I could see far more benefit from things like detecting channels that are off air (non-24 hour), better channel movement detection, or being able to download up-to-date transponder/mux/frequency lists like can be done for satellites... mm [/QUOTE]
