Adapting digital video recording based upon feedback

A computing device, comprising:

• a logic subsystem;
• and
• a data-holding subsystem comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the logic subsystem to assign scores to series update modules configured to identify candidate video items for recording as a part of a corresponding plurality of video content series, each series being of a series type selected from a plurality of series types and each series type utilizing a corresponding series update module by:
• for each series,
• generate a list of video items for recording as a part of the series by executing the corresponding series update module and then scheduling recordings of zero or more candidate video items returned by the series update module, and
• track feedback regarding playback of one or more video items for which recording was scheduled,
• receive a request for a list of available series, and
• provide the list of the available series and reputation scores for the corresponding update modules for the series, the reputation scores being based upon the feedback.

A computing device, comprising:

• a logic subsystem;
• and
• a data-holding subsystem comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the logic subsystem to:
• detect a manual scheduling of a first selected video item for recording by a weighted threshold number of members of a trend group;
• in response, automatically schedule recording of the first selected video item by one or more other members of the trend group as a part of a trend group series;
• modify a weighting factor for each of one or more trend group members based upon whether the one or more trend group members manually scheduled the first selected video item for recording before the weighted threshold number of members was reached to form modified weighting factors;
• detect a manual scheduling of a second selected video item for recording by the weighted threshold number of members of the trend group based upon the modified weighting factors;
• and
• trigger a scheduling of the second selected video item for other trend group members as another part of the trend group series.
