[mythtv] Future Development

[Paul Woodward]

I was going to go to the gym, but it closed early, so I'm heading home. I can give you a hand with this from there. I'm also going to upgrade all my myth's modules to the latest version (they won't load if the versions are inconsistent), and if that works then I can do it on yours.

> 1) Individual Viewing Lists Based On Logged In User.  ( Wife might have
> different tastes and doesn't want to see all those recordings of Dr.
> Phil...eerrr..Sci-Fi shows. )
> 2) Parental Lock Control
> 3) Channel Filtering Ex. - Some reason you might just like to watch 4
> channels, change it so the guide just displays those for channels or be used
> to control which channels kids and record.
> 4) User categories ( Ex. - All new Monday shows, 2003-2004 Season of
> Enterprise )
> 5) User recording options/expanded scheduling features - Entire show
> season,  Entire Collection Simpson Episodes Based on Original Air Date.
> 6) User Profiling - This part would try and figure out which shows you might
> like to watch.  Example,  3 AM two movies are about to start,  "SpaceBalls"
> and"Cyborg".  Both are considered Sci-Fi shows.  Cyborg is Acton while
> SpaceBalls is Comedy.  You have watched an equal number of Sci-Fi/Action
> Sci-Fi/Comedy shows.  However, recently you watched a John Candy movie. 
> Therefore it will record SpaceBalls as a show you might enjoy to watch. 
> Granted this module part will be the most difficult and most fun to write. 
> Additionally for those Big Brother types, provide an option to flick this
> option on or off.
