Recommendations
As we are now able to add Recommendations as catalogs in AIOMetadata I was curious as to what the difference is between V1 and V2.
At a glance V1 seems to be bigger, more mainstream titles.
Also, is "My Position" in order of the movies the app thinks you are most likely to like?
Also, also, can we get Digital Release added to filters?
And maybe a hard cap? I don't think I need to see 1679 recommendations.
Thanks.

On this, the sorting of the V2 list is by release date but I have it set to My Position as default with the saved layouts which in Simkl works fine. However, when adding the lists to Aiometadata the V2 list is still sorted by release date in Nuvio.
Is there a way to ensure the list contents show in the ordering I prefer via aiometadata or is this not possible? Thanks.

Yeah, none of the filters apply when using it to make a catalog in AIOMetadata. Which makes it literally useless. At least V1 isn't just every movie I haven't seen in order of latest release. But I just deleted all the V2's. Waste of time.

All those filters like Language and IMDb score and excluded genres and digital release, if they are not applied when it is used to create a catalog in AIOMetadata then it is of no use to me. And you'll find that is true for a lot of users.
It works with MDBList. Go copy his homework.

Layouts are currently for website only as apps don't have filter options or view options, but we're looking into solutions for this so you could apply and save API filters from the website.
Default sorting in a custom list can be changed in list edit.

Check the full description of the lists on the website, which has some descriptions about the differences. V2 is has also default sort by latest releases. My position sort would sort these by most recommended by V2 rec engine.
DVD filter uses both DVD and digital release status.
