[mythtv-users] Slightly OT: MythTV as Senior Project?

[Andy Long]

This might be kinda douche (i'm known for coming up with that sort of
idea in the morning), but how about a reccomendation-type feature,
similar to what Tivo has but on a much smaller scale.  Maybe have it
keep a log/database of important characteristics about what you watch
and record (such as actors, director, genre, etc...).  This would then
be used to generate show ideas that the user might want to see based
on what they previously watched.  I'm not sure if something like that
would meet your requirements or not.  Or hell, maybe it already has
something like that in or available for myth.  Just a thought.
