If you like... check these out function

[MSL_DK 35]

I wonder how the function "If you like XXXXXX, check these out..." work?

 

The reason I ask is that when looking at eg. Samsara suggestion like The Debt and Sunshine came up. These results has nothing to do with Samsara. There are no tags in those two movies that has similarity with Samsara, nor any genre.

[MSL_DK 35]

Okay ... but none of those are present in the other movies.

It would be nice if only came up relationships with conditions in question movie.

I really love the function ... but it would give an more user friendly experience if it only returns results that really has similarities

 

[MSL_DK 35]

I Am not sure what you mean with: "if you normalize that it might improve."?

[Koleckai Silvestri 1151]

Add more genres, add more people, add studios, use custom tags. The more information you give the better chances of finding true matches.

[Luke 40131]

Genres actors directors all other people tags studios

[Luke 40131]

Its like a search engine. Its always going to return something.

[MSL_DK 35]

I don't make use of studios, genres are those from the back cover of my movies, the same goes for actors. The movie doesn't look like, just because I add an studio.

 

If there isn't any look like, then the result is filled with somthing unrelated.

[Luke 40131]

That's exactly what it does. It's only the fringe scenarios with titles that don't have a lot of metadata. For instance, one of them has a genre Dokumentar. the other has english Thriller. So if you normalize that it might improve.
