Watch Next

Introduction

This use-case is designed to keep your users immersed in the ultimate binge-watching zone, through seamless transitions from one captivating title to the next. Your users will be able to explore and discover new titles that speak to their interests, resulting in satisfied customers.

The "Watch Next" scenario is dedicated to delivering personalized recommendations to each user, showcasing titles related to the one the user just watched.

Scenario Setup

In the Recombee Admin UI, navigate to the Scenarios section and choose Create Scenario.

1. Enter a Scenario ID, such as "watch-next"
2. Choose Recommendation type - Items to Item (as the recommendations will be based mainly on the movie or episode that has been just watched)

Logic

The Logic defines the behavior of the recommendation engine.

• Choose the video:watch-next logic type from the Video models which is optimized for the end-of-playback recommendations

Based on the assetType parameter you can choose what type of assets will be returned (e.g. movies, series, episodes, or movies and episodes, etc.).

Using the excludeAlreadyWatched parameter you can either allow or filter out the titles the user has already watched.
