O.K. Here is the idea. Let´s see if there is enough interest and if a programmer jumbs on it
Create some sort of personal TV-Guide which covers your specific interests.
The programming should be able to learn from the viewing habits of the user.
You would need to develop a scoring model.
3 ideas:
1) Define some interests in a setup:
This could be categories like "Science Fiction" "documentation" or keywords like "Lost" "Simpsons" "Brad Pitt".
2) Score broadcastings that have been selected for recording. Save the scores for title, categories and actors.
3) Score broadcastings which have been viewed (say minimum for 10 minutes.
4)....
5)....
In this way you could present a tv guide (in addition to the normal complete guide)with all the shows that might interest the user. Might be a familiy guide than in most cases where more than one user is in the household.
(The basic idea was already here in the forum about a year ago. But I can´t find it anymore)
So, what I like to know is:
a) Do you like the idea? Could this be usefull for you?
b) Further ideas on how the algorythm should work?
c) What should the output look like? 1,2,3 days? Limit the programs per day to, let´s say 20? Those with highest scores?
d) A couple of new and skilled programmers have joined the forums lately. Any one of them looking for a new project? I can help with ideas and testing.
I know stability is important. But this is something on which someone not from the core dev team could work on.
