IMDb-Scout-Mod:

New additions, features, tweaks and bugfixes.

Add links from IMDb pages to torrent trackers and other movie sites -- easy downloading from IMDb.

Greasemonkey v4 is currently not supported (v3.xx works). Try alternative plugins such as Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey.

Usage:

'IMDb Scout Mod Preferences' button you'll find on plugin's icon (you must open a movie page on IMDb first).

Currently the script works on individual title pages, various search pages, watchlist and list pages.

Contributing:

Contributions are welcome.

Adding new sites:

Inside the script, there is a list of dictionaries that contains of all the sites, and the data necessary to check IMDb against them. Each site is a dictionary with the following attributes:

  • name: The site name, abbreviated.
  • searchUrl: The URL to perform the search against, see below for how to tailor the string to a site.
  • matchRegex: The string which appears if the searchUrl doesn't return a result.
  • postiveMatch (optional): Changes the test to return true if the searchUrl does return a result that matches matchRegex
  • TV (optional): If true, it means that this site will only show up on TV pages. By default, sites only show up on movie pages.
  • both (optional): Means that the site will show up on both movie and TV pages.
  • spaceEncode (optional): Changes the character used to encode spaces in movie titles. The default is '+'.
  • goToUrl (optional): Different URL used for link (instead of searchUrl).
  • loggedOutRegex (optional): If any text on the page matches this regex, the site is treated as being logged out.
  • configName (optional): Use this to allow changing names without breaking existing users.
  • inSecondSearchBar (optional): Places site at the second searchable bar.
  • inThirdSearchBar (optional): Places site at the third searchable bar.

Parameters you can use inside the URL:

  • %tt%: The IMDb id with the tt prefix (e.g. tt0055630).
  • %nott%: The IMDb id without the tt prefix (e.g. 0055630).
  • %search_string%: The movie title (e.g. Yojimbo). Depends on your preferences at www.imdb.com/preferences/general .
  • %search_string_orig%: The original movie title (e.g. Yôjinbô). Reverts to %search_string% if an original title is not set at IMDb.
  • %year%: The movie year (e.g. 1961).

See the script for examples.

Versioning:

Follows a bastardization of the semver standard:

  • Patch versions will not change behavior, only the URL/settings for trackers.
  • Minor versions will definitely change code, although behavior may in fact remain the same.
  • Major versions will definitely change behavior, although it will only be increased at the discretion of the current maintainer.
