Pais 115 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Were there some changes made to the "If you like X, check out..." code lately? After upgrading today to 3.1.9 I'm finding most of these suggestions for my movies library to be trailers or TV movies, neither of which I want there. This used to just be my content. How can I turn off trailers and TV movies from showing up as suggestions? In the sample below we have TV movie, trailers, my content and TV movie. The TV movies are 2 and 3 days away so not even something I could watch now if I wanted to check them out. Edited June 5, 2016 by Pais 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1251 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I also don't like this change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I've had a similar complaint for a while now. I have part of my collection split into separate libraries and when I watch a movie in that library it will suggest movies in my other libraries. There is a reason I split them up. They aren't really related. Don't show me stuff not in the library I am looking at even if they are both "movies". The specific usage case is that I have all those little shorts in their own folder. Technically these are detected as movies but I didn't want to litter my actual movie library with a bunch of 5 minute shorts. Now though when I watch a short it recommends real movies from my movie library and vice versa. Please add an option to make the suggestions limited to the library you are viewing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrettuk 3 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'm having the same issue where trailers are part of the recommendations? PLEASE tell me how to stop this from happening, its rubbish and looks bad. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I would also like controls to restrict suggestions to the library the content is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanbuff 840 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Haha terrible suggestions anyway. What the hell does Princess Diaries 2 have to do with 'Don Jon' anyway? Noticed the trailers recently also. Something has clearly changed. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Haha terrible suggestions anyway. What the hell does Princess Diaries 2 have to do with 'Don Jon' anyway? They share two out of three genres - Comedy and Romance. Suggestions can only be as good as the data they are based upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEB 26 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I noticed latley there have been suggestions based on directors, but yet to see anything based on the top billed cast. Are we going to be seeing that, Would be fun to see "If you like Rob Schneider, check these out" "The Stapler" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Suggestions are made based on cast already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanbuff 840 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Is there anyway we can utilize the data on TheMovieDB for suggestions instead? Obviously we'd need to use the data and only link to TMDB IDs that are present in your own library, but to me -- these recommendations for 'Don Jon' are much more suited. As anyone who's seen it would know it's a mature adult film and very far from a family comedy even if it shares similar genre's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEB 26 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Suggestions are made based on cast already. Weird that I never have seen a suggestion based on cast. I only ever see "Because you watched x" , "Because you like x" , and the directed by one. Using ET and I only ever get those 3, I wonder if its broken.

Pais 115 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 I really think that whatever changes were made need to be revisited. Here I have a sample of recommendations which are all from TV movies. Let's not focus on how relevant these may or may not be. Instead, 3 out of the 4 happen to be in my movie library. So there is a higher quality (HD / lossless audio) version available to watch now instead of waiting for these to air and then having to skip commercials. The use of the TV movies in this case is not a logical suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty1483 450 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 If I want to watch Trailers, I go on the Trailer section. If I am looking at movie details I want to have physical present movies and no Trailers. My users and myself get confused what's actually in my libraries and what not. This change is actually a total failure. I even cannot imagine that there is someone on this planet not bothered by this suggestion behaviour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The changes definitely take a lot of enjoyment out of the system. Even had to uninstall the trailers plugin again just so it wouldn't recommend the trailer for the movie I just watched every single time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abobader 2941 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Good day, Yes, I am with this as well, since trailers is indeed not of your main part of your library, it should really not including in this. My best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efigalaxie 2 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I really find this whole 'Feature' to be asinine. If you liked 'Porky's' we are sure you will enjoy 'Bambi'!! A made up example, but similar to what I have seen. What I want is the ability to simply cut this whole 'Feature' off!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abobader 2941 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Good day, Sorry to say I disagree with you, I find it very helpful and nice to have (personal view), but I wish trailers not include with it. Sure option to disable it will indeed be good idea for whom do not like it. My best 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pais 115 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) I just noticed that suggestions seem to be back to library specific instead of cross library I missed this in the release notes, belated well done devs! Glad trailers and TV are gone. Edit: Adding some images to compare those I previously posted. Edited July 25, 2016 by Pais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty1483 450 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Sorry guys but I need to ask again. What is the goal of the if you like... function. Since the functon changed, I had trailers mixed with content of my library in this section, this was irritating enough. But now I have just trailers in the If you like section on detail screens and suggestions pages, even for movies I got in my library. Is this the behaviour wanted?
