Greasy Fork

The script doesn't work for me, the box never appears anywhere (tried reloading and navigating in and out of edit mode). I see something (looking like the script's dialog) blip instantly when the IMDb site loads, only to disappear before I can see what it is.

I think it's because I have the #enable-force-dark flag enabled. I use Brave Browser (essentially Chromium, in practical terms). I also tried with shields disabled, no change. I have no other extensions on this browser.

The script doesn't work for me [...]

I got it to work! :D (Replying to my previous comment.)

And I accidentally also tested a few different things and scenarios.

---

How I got it to work was to open the edit script page of this script (I use Violentmonkey, btw.). Under the top tab Settings, then Custom metadata I changed the option called Run-At. I tried all the options in the drop-down list and the last one, called document-idle, worked! I saved and refreshed the IMDb page for each time I changed to the next option.

Oh, and I can confirm that it works with Brave Shields enabled.

I can also confirm that the script doesn't like the letter "Å". I would assume the same goes for Å's friends "Æ" and "Ø". The script got stuck at the output Reading "filename_with_letter_å.csv"... (don't remember the exact output phrasing). I then removed the unwelcome letter "å" from the filename and it worked.

---

I also found that the script complains when a line in the CSV file is missing the Const value (the IMDb ID). The script then outputs the following: Error: Invalid 'const' field format on line 1842. I solved that by simply opening the CSV file in kwrite and deleting all lines with missing const value. It would be cool if the script could ignore this and continue instead of stopping altogether.

The error was super useful, though! Not sure if I would've guessed to check the file for this if it stopped without a descriptive error!

The file in question was a CSV file from TMDb, so I had to export a file from IMDb to see how it was structured and edit the TMDb CSV file accordingly. I simply edited IMDB ID to Const, deleted the lines with missing Const value. That worked and the script started counting slowly towards 2470. xD

---

Another tidbit: The script's box didn't appear at the top like I expected it to, but neatly below the "search title to add" field, but above the buttons underneath the "add" field. And Brave rendered it dark, like the rest of the page (because of the force dark flag I've enabled). Which I think is interesting, that these different things intertwine functionally like this (though, not at first).

Just wanted to leave a review. It's a neat script. I like it. :)

Thanks for the feedback. I've added solutions to some of the problems you have encountered to the script info page.

BTW, there is a description of CSV format and an example on the info page, so there was no need to export it from IMDB. But, I guess it would be a good idea to also check existence of `IMDB ID` field. I'll try to keep it in mind for the next time I'll decide to completely rewrite this script. :)
