several ratings per movie
It would be good to have several ratings per movie.
First of all, when I do an assessment I can provide it for how good the main movie idea is, or scenario is, how good the actors play and others. Things that always are the same for all movies. Because sometimes it is a brilliant idea but a bad scenario or bad actors.
The second one is the assessment main actors. It could be helpful sometimes.
Another is really helpful in choosing what to watch - assessment per tags added. Like how much it fits comedy or other attached genres.…1 vote -
Adding TV show recommendations, with a toggle so we can choose between either viewing movies, shows, or both at the same time.
I love movies, but I've been wanting to watch shows lately and would love it if my current movie ratings could be used to predict what shows I would like. I know not everyone would want to see shows be recommend, so I think being able to toggle.
Plus I've been trying to get some friends to start using Movielens but they dislike that you can't rate shows.

Extending the advanced search system
The current advanced filtering system is pretty limiting (all/any), and doesn't apply to tags, so filtering for the kind of movies you want to see often requires manual effort. The planned "exclude" will play nicely.
I'd like to propose three directions current genre filtering system can be expanded without being too low level on user or requiring lots of infrastructure.
Expanding to tags: I honestly don't know why this is currently not implemented. If this was a thing you could filter things like cyberpunk body horror movies. But to make this even more detailed
More granularity than "any/all": Something similar…

Recommendation-Filtering similar to Youtube Topics
I often watch arthouse movies, but some days I wake up and want some "guilty pleasure" kinda movie.
Some days I'm sad and want something depressed, the other days something hopeful would be nice.What I want to say is that people's taste isn't something static. They watch different kinds of movies and their recommendations could reflect this diversity. For implementation there could be something similar to Youtube's Topics Filters on the homepage that could change recommendations based on your mood/topic.

Developer building Media Server Plugin could use an API... but may not be entirely necessary.
While writing a movie recommendation application using ML.net which I intend on integrating into my Emby Media Server, I realized that access to an API for movie lens would be very helpful.
Currently My Media Server DB will use TMDB ID's to reference provider data for my library. However because MovieLen uses it's own internalIds in the dataset, it would be great to access the TMDB ID to make the connection between the entry in the dataset, and the entry in my own library.
I suppose I could scrape the site to get the TMDB Ids and the MovieLens Ids.…

(OUT OF 100) Add an option where user can also rate the movie out of 100
Sometimes I feel like I would rate the movie for example 8.5 there isn't an option to do that. So, please add one. SORRY about the bad grammar if it's wrong.

Fix movie rating from mobile
Every time I try to select movie rating from my phone (android, chrome browser) by clicking on the stars under movie image, I'm being redirected to gerne category of that movie. This happens in movie list page such as "top picks". Its very annoying.

Add gamification to incentivize new tags that become popular
When I when a user adds a new tag end it later becomes popular, give the user points proportional to how many other people use the same tag for the same movie. Give fewer points to the second and third person who helped the tag move up the list.

option to not see documentaries/specials
Once I switched to the Wizard recommender, I started seeing lots of documentaries and comedy specials. I'd like to continue only seeing movies as well as only have movies effect my predictions.

More suggested categories
e.g. you liked X director, here's more from them, or you liked this genre, here's some more, or this actor, here's some obscure/popular movies you might like, classics/recent, etc, with the option to hide that suggestion category.

short movie indicator
there must be a sign for short movies before we click on them so that we don't have to lose time. I am not a fan of short movies

User experience
The recommendation engine is great. Not the user experience though. It sucks. I am a product manager, I can help you improve the experience.

Change in the lookup algorythm
I have look up problems for some of the movie titles that I would like to look up. Basically, if I want to find a movie named RUN, I put run in the search box and I get about 100 movies that all have the word 'run' in their title. How about a way to tell the search engine that I don't want it to look for my search work in a 'contains' query, but that I only want to see movies that are only named "Run" that should shorten the list to only 3 or 4 movies. If this…

Update the search function so titles do not have to be exact.
Ex: Batman vs. Superman doesn't work. Batman V Superman does...
If you search Batman vs. Superman, it should come up with the closest matching titles first that contain those three words.
