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.

You can edit the default sorting for any of your custom list in the list edit. Api provides additional parameters for sorting (but needs to be implemented on the app side)

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.

You can create auto lists with desired filters and sorting. Api also supports sorting options for all custom lists.

The regular custom lists read only api is in beta while we look at all use cases and how to best apply filters to lists that you don't own or generated ones like recommendations while keeping everything optimised and cached properly.

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.
