SPLFlix

A C++ Program that simulates "NetFlix" application shell. SPLFlix offers 2 types of content – movies and tv-series. After finishing an episode, the program will offer to watch the next episode if such exists.

Recommendation algorithms

The program has 3 content recommendation algorithms:

• Length Recommender – This algorithm is based on the assumption that users prefer to watch content in a similar length.
• Rerun Recommender – This algorithm is intended for users who don't like new stuff. It will recommend content based on this user's watching history.
• Similar Genre – This algorithm will recommend content based on the most popular tag in the user's watch history.
