Popcorn Ready - Chrome extension for Kaleidescape users

Question for you - I apologize if you've already covered this.

On the main page, there's a button "Recommendations". When I hit this button, it always brings up the same recommendations, no matter where I've set the slider between "More Popularity" and "More Ratings". Also, despite having "Personal Library" selected, it chooses movies I don't own. Can you explain what the button "Recommendations" does?

I'm loving this extension. Keep up the great work!

The slider is specifically for the custom “Pocorn Readiness” sort order.

The recommendations button is based on your full library so that behavior is expected.

But if you want to see recommendations just based off one specific movie, then click the movie title in the inspector window that shows the movie details.

Hope that helps!
 
The recommendations are based off TMDB and I would say that they are just OK, in my opinion. It will only show you movies you don't already own that are available on Kaleidescape. The idea is that they are potential movies to buy.

And if you’re just looking for a random movie from your exiting personal library to watch, then you can apply whatever filters you want to narrow the list down and then click the Random button.

Version 2.0 submitted to the store. The old legacy cards view is officially gone and the rest of the user interface has been updated to better match the Wall view. Many other improvements as well. As always, please let me know if you have any issues after you get the update.

Looks good. The text for library controls is the same color as the background and is thus not viewable.
See below.

Hmmmm....that is a strange one. Are you using Chrome or an alternative browser? Here's what mine looks like on Chrome:
