I think the worst thing about this is that we have a plugin that they could use and work on. taken from"[Recommendation based on previously watched/rated](https://forums.plex.tv/t/recommendation-based-on-previously-watched-rated/279808)"

**Current Workarounds**

There are two workarounds currently, both very flawed

1. Choose the type of media you want to watch. Select your favorite movie/show from that type, and then choose “Related Movie/Shows” from that media’s page and pick something from there. This is a multi step process and gives a limited recommendation based on broad categories.
2. Install a 3rd party plugin that dynamically creates a new library based on [trakt.tv](http://trakt.tv/)’s recommendations. The end result of this is similar to what I think Plex should implement in the end, but just without the need of installing 3rd party tools. This is achieved by syncing all media and watch status with a [trakt.tv](http://trakt.tv/) account via their API ([https://github.com/trakt/Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler](https://github.com/trakt/Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler)). Once that is syncing with trakt you can use another tool to dynamically create a library based on [trakt.tv](http://trakt.tv/)’s recommendation of what you should watch based on your previously watched media ([https://github.com/adamgot/python-plexlibrary](https://github.com/adamgot/python-plexlibrary)). I have not been able to get this to work for multiple users, so a native Plex solution would be superior to this.
