Genius Recommendations for Movies and TV Shows Appearing on Apple TV

"ATV.Menu.MOVIE.GeniusItem"
is a "key" used by developers to specify a text resource. The system would look up this unique "key" and find the correct text for the user's locale (language and location) preferences. By default, if the system can't find the text resource, it simply hands back the key that was passed in. If developers used readable text as their keys, that works fine, but since Apple's obviously using developer-centric keys, to more easily identify the exact resource, it displayed something not quite legible.

In the meantime, Apple got rid of Genius where it's most important: music. If you have iTunes Match, you lose this feature (https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1280505). I hope they fix that, it's become one of my favourite things about the iTunes ecosystem.

The "strange appearance" of the key provides a namespace to differentiate similar keys used elsewhere. Had they used "Genius Item" as a key, they would run into collisions with other keys that would also be named "Genius Item", say for a Song Genius Item.

Interesting feature. Looking forward to them delivering the whole TV.

I noticed this last night and thought it was very bizarre. I thought my apple Tv had a glitch in it. HA HA:D

I look forward to checking this out!
