Suggest movies using TMDb recommendations with user ratings from IMDb.

Movie/TV suggestor based on IMDb ratings and TMDb recommendations

I like to log my movies and series, so I use the IMDb app mostly. Unfortunately, I haven't found any good TMDb apps and I want my lists easily accessible, but I do want you use the nice API from TMDb (they have a nice website too).

So here's a script that uses your ratings (ratings.csv that can be manually downloaded from your IMDb account), and a pseudo-scientific mathematical formula to give recommendations with help from TMDb's suggestions.

Here's what it looks like:

Note: All queries default to movie results.
Note: Personalized suggestions doesn't include average rating when calculating suggestions.
Options:
	's[uggest] [tv]' 	- preview <media_type>_suggestions.txt
	's[uggest] [tv] p[ersonalized]' 	- preview <media_type>_suggestions_p.txt
	'g[enre]' 	- show genre options
	'[tv] [-]<genre>, ...' 	- preview <media_type>_suggestions.txt filtered by genre[s]
	'u[pdate]' 	- update ratings.csv from imdb and generate suggestion files
Enter command: 

ignore the messy tabs...

(of course I've seen most of these, just want to re-watch to give proper rating...)

I've tried to keep the script fairly modular so that it should be easy to modify. I suggest that you play around with the scoring formula if you want other results.

Requirements

• less (unix) or more (windows, untested) - for previewing in terminal
• Uses ratings.csv fetched from IMDb
• TMDb account with API key
