Review: Bad - script does not work

§
Posted: 2024-07-16

I was able to install the script and I can see it on the IMDB list page but I get the message "file being read" which never goes away and nothing is imported ever. What am I doing wrong? I did create a new list and tried to add from there but the file never loads. I'm using firefox.

Hello. Have you tried to import from the text field instead of a file. As I understand, you get a message "Reading FILENAME" and nothing else happens. Can you open browser console (Ctrl-Shift-I) and tell me what errors it shows when you try to import a file?

I have the same issue -- use case: I have a list in a CSV file: title | year, I do not have the "const" ids.

You need const ids. There are many movies with the same name and there are even cases when different movies with the same name were released in the same year, e.g. Frozen (2013). This script uses the same API that IMDB uses when you select a movie from the provided list of options. Those options have IMDB id associated with each of them. It does not search for a movie by name, because, this would require user input for each movie in the csv file, or risk adding a wrong movie.
