Most releases of TV-series have an Episode Access menu, but only few of these have a true Scene Access menu as well. Should we tick the box under Features for Scene Access when it's only Episode Access?

Only check when there is a menu option for scenes within the episode. Episode selection is a totally different thing.

No we shouldn't. It's not the same thing as Scene Access (access to individual chapters or scenes)

— it's basically just "Play this Episode"

Totally agree with the three above me.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

I copied and pasted "Features: removed Scene Access, there is none (only episode selection)." when I used to care about the database.

Scene Access is Scene Access. Episode Access ... isn't.

Isn't episode access pretty much given for a TV show on DVD? I've never seen one without it. So checking scene access for episodes would be meaningless. So - agreed.

I think there are a couple of TV seasons without Episode Access (and boy was the decision to do this unpopular) but it is so rare I fully agree with the above that Scene Access should only be ticked for when access is possible to scenes within the episodes.

For anyone finding a TV series without Episode access I'd almost suggest putting it under other features as a 'lack of expected feature', but I'm not sure this would follow the Rules!

I wouldn't... I attempted to do similar for releases that has a play all feature for TV Series. Which in my mind is a feature that would be welcome in Other Features... and it wasn't popular... Thread about it.

So something like you are talking about... a lack of something on the disc... that is definitely not a feature so wouldn't be welcome in Other Features.
