Suggested Intelligent Recordings
Table of Contents
Or you have IR enabled, but want an easier way to play IR Whack-a-mole to persuade Sage for the thousandth time that Friends just is not funny any more :)
Well, help is at hand (for users of Sage 4.1+).
This STV import adds an Intelligent Suggestions item to the Scheduled Recordings menu (Dynamic menu users need to add the new screen 'IntelligentSuggestions -- nielm')
This displays IR suggested recordings (whether enabled or not) in an easy-to-manage format, with shows grouped together, and with multiple levels of grouping:
Hitting 'right' or mouse-clicking a group views the items in the group, or goes to the detailed info for a single show
- Hitting 'right' or mouse-clicking a group views the items in the group, or goes to the detailed info for a single show.
- Selecting a single show pops up the usual Sage show options popup allowing you to schedule it as a recording or favorite if IR is disabled.
- Selecting a show grouping (by default) pops up a menu allowing 'Set don't like'/'Set Watched' on all shows in the group.
The idea is that the user will use left/right/up/down to browse the menu tree, or ENTER to set options.
Sorting/grouping is customisable with the options popup
Default grouping/sorting is:
- category/title
In Sage 4.1.5+ 'Intelligent' sort order is also supported. This will list shows using the IR engine to put the highest priority shows first -- ie what sage thinks you will like the most. This would work best if grouping is set to By Title, or is disabled.
