When I first noticed the star ratings coming down by default on my Plex media, my first thought was to find a way to get rid of them. I generally couldn't care less what someone else thought about the movie. However, my second thought is that it would be ideal if there was a way to have Plex behave more like NetFlix in it's ratings.
I've been collecting movies for many, many years. I've also added my husband's movie collection which was pretty extensive to my own. Therefore, there are many movies I've seen that I don't remember what I thought of them, and many others I haven't seen yet. Finding a way to store my ratings (as separate from my husband's and son's -- they have their own users) would be really quite useful.
A predictive algorythm that used your rated movies to "guess" at what you'd think about other similar movies in your library would be absolutely perfect, though understandably a lot more difficult to work out, I'd expect.
In the alternative, a way to link a user to a NetFlix user account (I have sub-accounts for my husband and son in NetFlix) and bring over the star ratings directly would have the same effect. I've yet to see a third party app with access to the predictive ratings on the NetFlix site, so that may still be impossible, but it would be a dream come true to merge the NetFlix ratings with my Plex media library. I'd be willing to manually match each movie and TV show in Plex to the NetFlix equivalent to make it happen!
In summary: I want ratings per user stored in Plex. If possible, I'd like the ratings of anything unrated to show a prediction based on my other ratings (or if not possible, not show ANY rating). Alternatively, I'd like to show my NetFlix ratings in Plex.
