Recommendations Feature - Suggestion for exclusion

[Yojimbo]

Lately, I have been blocking some titles from my recommendations list, but they still keep showing up after updating. Signing out and back in doesn't work either. These titles are definitely in my block list.

I guess this isn't happening for anyone else?

I got the same problem.

Any way we can get this fixed? I know a lot of people probably don't use recommendations, but I would still like to be able to use it properly. I can't see any more titles in my recommendations because the titles I've already deleted are still showing up instead of loading others.

I hope they can fix it.

Not to complain (well, I'm going to) but I liked this feature when the recommendations hid your owned and ordered titles. It no longer does that.

When checking your recommendations it seems to work? Which titles shows up in the recommendations that's on your block list?

[Cowboy300]

I had it set up to where any owned titles were not included in the recommendations for a title, but they will show up now, even with the filter on. Maybe I'm doing somehting wrong?

[Cowboy300]

It also seems like the first two rows are fine, but when you hit "see more titles" the titles show up that I don't want to.

[Cowboy300]

I think I may have confused you too. I'm talking about the individual movie titles. For example, when I hit "Three Musketeers" the first two rows block out my owned titles, but when I select "show more titles" titles that are in my owned collection appear.

Thanks for the info, looked into it and found the problem. Let me know if you find any other bugs

Well this website costs me alot of money, but that's beside the point.

My Blu-ray collection (158 movies, 14 TV seasons, 155 SKUs)
Despite having the requisite number of Blu-rays, and having done so for over a week now, I still get the following errors:

Recommendations
Not enough titles in collection. The collection must contain at least 20 titles to analyze the taste and make recommendations. Please note that if you just created your collection you will also get this error message until the recommendations are recalculated (which is done daily).

Collection Matcher
There are too few titles in this collection or the collection is too new. The collection must contain at least 20 titles to match the collection against other collections and the Collection Matcher background program must have run once (updated daily).

Is someone able to look into this for me?

I am in the same situation.

Thanks a lot for the notification, the collection matcher is a server background job and it seems like it ran out of memory some time ago without us noticing
I increased the memory and I'm running it manually now to make sure it works.

Edit: this now seems solved

I played around with the Recommendations feature today and have one tiny gripe.

I can't exclude titles based on the common movie they share.

For example, if I own the UK edition of a movie, it'll still show the US edition. Also, if I own a movie in a collection (such as the X-Men Trilogy), it will still show the individual Blu-rays from that collection (such as X-Men, X-2, X-Men: The Last Stand).

Ideally, you wouldn't see movies already in your collection, no matter their region or whether you purchased them in a box set. This would greatly help the Recommendations feature to be more relevant for those of us who are creeping on 500+ Blu-rays.

Hope this suggestion helps! I know you have the data to do it as I've made submissions here before and I know that titles generally share a common underlying movie record. I'm not aware of the specifics of TV Seasons but I'd guess it's basically the same thing.
