There are almost a couple of hundred Bouquets generated by Tvheadend automatically, and re-generated if any are deleted.
I am trying to find a means to permanently delete selected Bouquets from the listings.
Actually I want to delete all the auto-generated ones, so that the only remaining Bouquets are ones I generate myself.
So … does anyone know a means of getting rid of unwanted Bouquets - permanently?
Either my search terms are off or there is little or no info on line for such actions.
I don’t think, there is a way to permantly delete the scanned bouquets.
I just disabled them. This way they are not being re-synced again during channel scanning and only my own bouquets are going to stay enabled.
I have turned of scanning when idle and that seems to work plus a converted list from Enigma2 and in my Kodi I can see only the channels from my converted list.
I think you misunderstand.
I am not concerned with the channels, but with the bouquets.
I want to delete them and not have them re-populate, leaving only my own bouquets for the channels I wish to view.
You mean disable scanning completely or only just for idle?
No scanning would mean no up-to-date information on new or changed muxes and thus inability to find channels that might change frequency or any new channels that get added, would it not?
I tried setting things up as you described.
I was able to delete most of the bouquets - source dvb-bskyb
I was unable to delete approx a dozen whose source is dvb-fastscan
All seemed good for a while, until I attempted to update the EPG, which brought all the bouquets back.
This is not going to work for me.
I reverted the settings to idle scan.
Also I noted that
Bouquets are usually obtained automatically from the DVB source during the mux scan period.
The fastscan bouquets are pre-defined in the configuration tree.
It seems it will not be an easy task.
I do not use any of those pre-defined muxes, from either source.
