I'm not 100% confident that that `videoscan` code won't be lost--it wasn't in there for the longest time, and easy for it to be lost (and not realize it).

Hopefully we can move forward with refactoring and simply move away from the need for any of this logic.  Until then, I'd rather have it explicit to safeguard and to keep awareness that `CENTRAL_SERVER=True` is a code-path through most of what we do.
