How do you hide disc only titles on a system that no longer has a disc player?

How do you hide titles from the navigator screen that can only be playable if you have a disc player connected to the system if you no longer have one connected?

I have a Strato C and a compact Terra server and connected an M700 changer to catalog discs. i completed that and removed the player from the system but now have titles that say “insert disc” when selected. Can those be removed or hidden from the navigation screen? I though the disc related options would disappear when a disc drive was no longer part of the system.

yeah, it just dawned on me this is effectively the same question. Sorry.

is it correct that all cataloged titles are now stored on my cloud account so that K will know about any title I’ve ever cataloged even if there isn’t currently a d2d offer? I’m really nervous about losing hundreds of cataloged discs that I havent purchased from the K store or have d2d offers. Everything I read on the K help pages say that deleted cataloged titles cannot be recovered so I’m trying to figure out how to move all those titles from the old to the new server.
 
The record of the movies you've cataloged is stored on the Movie Store servers. If you want to reassure yourself, you can check a sampling of the movies you cataloged on the store and verify that it shows that (a) you own the movie on DVD/Blu-ray and (b) that there are disc-to-digital offers available when appropriate.
 
Thanks. What about movies that are cataloged for which there are no current D2D offers? (Presume the store has them?)

If subsequent d2d offers become available would those titles then appear in the digital offers list? (Presume yes?)

Is there any way to see movie store show titles that have been catalogued and don’t have a current offer?

it seems like what I want to do is delete any title I haven’t downloaded so the cover interface isn’t so cluttered but if I understand things now I would lose the ability to see everything if I add a disc player back in to the system later on.

related question - is the history of catalog/download/delete activity stored on the Terra or the movie store account? since It does not seem to be exportable I would like to keep that visible if I replace one Terra with another.

edit: just saw this in another post “And, since the system's content database is replicated across all components with storage” - does that apply to the system history too?

I don’t think there’s a way to see those all at once. If you go to an individual title, it will tell you that you own it on Blu-ray or DVD or whatever, but there’s not a way that I’m aware of to show you all such movies.

Yeah, if you delete the cataloged titles from the system, and then later add a disc-capable player again, you would need to catalog the discs again.

The information shown on your system’s History page is stored locally. The store account has the complete list of the discs you’ve cataloged or imported, but it doesn’t have all the details about import/delete/etc.

Yes, I believe so. If you have more than one component with storage you could verify this yourself by just turning one off and then looking at the HIstory page on the one that’s still on.
 
Thanks Mike.

If I add a new server and delete the old one will I lose the info shown on the history page?

If yes, would it be kept if I replicated to the new server rather than download new?
