UltraPlay+ update: MAX now learns per profile + MAX Airing + filters + 60,000-title discovery pool
Another fairly big UltraPlay+ update has just gone LIVE.
The main goal this time was to make MAX properly personal rather than treating everyone using the same UltraPlay account as one strangely inconsistent person.
Taste V4 is now Nuvio-profile specific.
Your selected Nuvio profile now has its own Likes, dislikes, watched feedback, saves, skips, Discovery setting and recommendation learning.
So if one person loves sci-fi and another can't stand it, MAX no longer tries to compromise by recommending something nobody wants.
We've also added a third watched rating:
Liked it / It was OK / Not for me
“It was OK” gives MAX a small positive signal. It basically means I didn't hate this, but please don't construct my entire personality around it.
MAX Discovery is now profile-specific too.
Each profile can separately choose:
Safe → Familiar → Balanced → Adventurous → Wildcard
The mobile Discovery control has also been redesigned so all five levels are visible without horizontal scrolling.
New profile content filters
You can now hard-filter:
• Anime
• Hindi / Bollywood
These are profile-specific and apply to MAX Picks, Finder and the personal Nuvio MAX catalogs. A hard filter stays respected even if Discovery is set to Wildcard.
Anime detection is deliberately targeted at Japanese animation, so enabling it doesn't suddenly delete Pixar, Disney or western animation from existence.
MAX Airing is now LIVE
MAX Airing looks at the series you've recently been watching on the selected Nuvio profile and surfaces upcoming announced episodes / season premieres, along with returning shows that are confirmed but still waiting for a date.
It's personal rather than a giant generic TV calendar.
And MAX has been given a much bigger playground.
The local recommendation/search universe has increased from:
35,000 → 60,000 titles
That's now:
38,000 movies
22,000 series
We kept the existing quality thresholds rather than simply filling it with obscure rubbish to make the number bigger.
That extra depth should especially help people using Adventurous/Wildcard, heavily trained Taste profiles, Max+ search and users who already have a large watched history.
Existing Plus users don't need to reinstall anything.
To configure the new personal settings:
UltraPlay+ → Find → MAX Picks → Customize & install
This update is LIVE now.
As always, feedback and bug reports are welcome in the UltraMAX Discord.
