On that matter, I've been tossing around some ideas about a community
server.
I have some additional real-time functionality I'd like to build in but
one of the static concepts is I'd like to build a server that
automatically looks up reviews that other myth-tv users have submitted.
Eg I love the film The Mechanic with Charles Bronson, some of you guys
might see that it is showing on channel xyz but not know anything about
it, you might be interested in checking out if anyone else has reviewed
it - when you see my write up it might convince you to check it out.
It would also be interesting to see if we could get the oztivo guys
involved.
Does anyone think this is of value? Anyone able to give some advice to
my software developer who has never built anything for myth tv in his
life
before some ideas about how to set it up?
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Dean
It is a good thought, but impractical I think. There are plenty of
review sites that are already in existence. However, along the same
lines, what about a site similar to Audioscrobbler
(http://www.audioscrobbler.com/) but for videos. In case you don't know,
Audioscrobbler tracks users' played audio songs and correlates artist
and track information. You can then find other users with similar
musical tastes, create groups of users that have a similar cause or
identity, you can even get recommendations on new artists or tracks
based on what you are currently listening to. Applying this same concept
to MythTV and video would be a very interesting project. Having the
ability to see that if you have watched xyz show, other users who have
watched that show also watch abc show.
A large step from the imdb topic I know, but this post got my mind thinking.
