[mythtv] Feature Request

[Andy Davidoff]

There is no support for multiple genres in the database.  We could
add this easily, though I'm not sure how useful it would be without
our own addition of categorization hints.  In my tests[0], the "missing"
categories are things like
	"Adventure" from "Action/Adventure"
or	"Fitness" from "Health/Fitness"
or	"Tabloid" from "Talk/Tabloid"

It's not clear that storing multiple genres really buys us anything
without a better quality data source[0].

I agree that the Naive Bayes is a good place to start if we're going
to pursue statistical NLP, but I really doubt it can be effective on
this problem without some sort of additional training data (thesaurus?).
Our corpus is pretty small and the sentence fragments we do have are
relatively short and not very descriptive or specific.

I think getting actor information would really go a long way toward
improving performance of suggestions, but where can we get such data?

[0] This only applies to my data from tv_grab_na.
