[QUOTE="Snoopy87, post: 1203931, member: 128461"] Of course I will provide logs as soon as I have them ;-) I don't meant the scan log output of new and updated channels. This is totally unuseful. Yes, the "detect channel movement" option has no effect. After improving the the TV server itself, those suggestions are the most important things to do next to let MediaPortal become userfriendly and easy to use as any other set top box or integrated TV Tuner solution on Smart TVs. And also the big issues with EPG which were not shown in 90% of the time in the MediaPortal client since years. The configuration dialogs are so 1990 and not optimized for a HTPC. Have a look at Kodi (XMBC). Everything is configurable with remote control. Also have a look at any set top box around the world. It's easy and it's working. Also there are no issues with channel movement, new channels, updated channels, etc. It's just working, so I think it would be possible to optimize this. There are many properties you can use to create an intelligent algorithm to detect channel movement. (e.g. same channel name plus same provider). The problem is also, that the old channel is not deleted. Changing channel names: There could be an option for each channel to keep the name. E.g. Sky Germany often change channel names and/or replace channel, so that the channel name does not fit to the channel you are watching. In all those cases you want to automatically change those channel names as they do on any other device and software. As said I have ca. 1400 channels (or 1200?). I only use Astra 19.2 E. The issue has nothing to do with the amount of channels I have. It's a design and implementation issue to fetch, handle and show all channels. I spoke with so many users the last months and years and those issues (scanning, updating channels, epg) are the biggest one everyone are unhappy with it. So would be nice to focus work on this., especially if you guys are still improving the TV Server. After that MediaPortal would be perfect and the TV Server Configuration dialog and MediaPortal Configuration dialog could be then completly integrated in MediaPortal 2 GUI to set up and handle everything from your couch with remote control :-) But yes, I know, this is a lot of work and will take time.
