Anyway to get this working on the amazon uk website? It works fine for imdb but that's it.

Movie recommendation site, Jinni, would be perfect for this.

I'd add it myself, but I can't get past that damn "post" method, and the js is too dense for me...

Hi, I am really interested in running your script, but it doesn't seem to be working. I am using Safari and downloaded GreaseKit. The other scripts I installed, like Netflix Queue Sorter and RottenNetflix are working, but I can't seem to get this one to work. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Just Icons, replied by skywalka

An option to display the icons only would be great.

Thanx!

I like your script and I suggest to add the new british site culturecritic
http://www.culturecritic.co.uk/

And tv.com

Hi Adam, love your script. Have you considered adding tv.com to the lineup? It rounds out info that is not on imdb.

thanks,
Chris Noe

Allociné: use google lucky to get directly to movie page, replied by norz

For those interested, this url: http://www.google.com/search?safe=off&q=site%3A... will 80% of the time take you directly to the movie page, without having first to select it in an intermediary results list page.

Links not showing up on Amazon.com, replied by loramir

I already posted this on the Google code site, but it didn't look like postings over there were getting any response (there were several that were months old), so I figured I'd post over here too. I'm using version 1.7.2 from the official site, and my list of links does not show up on Amazon DVD product pages. They do show up on the other pages I use them on, mostly IMDb and Netflix.

I'd like to add the lookup from/to Box Office Mojo

Got the search link (from other sites) happening
bo_mojo: { name: "Box Office Mojo", link: "http://www.boxofficemojo.com/search/?q={search}&p=.htm", },

What else do I need to add for the lookup links to be inserted on the Mojo page?
i.e. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=cinemap...

So the thing with torrent sites, like Pirate Bay, is that lots of places block them, so if I include a link to the icon then people are going to get pinged on that at work.

So feel free to add those sites by-hand (and log them on the Wiki page), but they probably won't make it into the main-stream release.

@ekbworldwide: I'm hesitant to pull in rating scores for two reasons:
1) It's more or less "impossible" to correlate movies between sites, given that the same movie often has different titles on different sites. Example, a TV show and movie having the same name, where some times it will be displayed in quotes, some times with (TV) at the end, or (tv series), etc. And then you have the DVD "Season X" versions.

Maybe if every site published an IBSN microformat or something...

2) I don't really want to suck up bandwidth doing cross-site downloads; just pulling down the favicons already adds a surprising amount of latency.

Great script.

__________________________
Example

Married to It (1991)
http://imdb.com/title/tt0107523/

__________________________
Suggestion

Could you add the the rating value from the "critic sites" and have the link point directly to the movie and/or review?

On the idmb page - the rating numbers would be shown. Somthing like this...
Rotten Tomatoes: 30%
Metacritic: [no rating]

the allmovie link would would go here:
allmovie ((( Married to It > Overview )))
http://wc06.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1...

the criticker link would go here:
Criticker - Married to It
http://criticker.com/?f=5072

the movietome link would go here:
http://www.movietome.com/movie/275715/married-t...

the Rotten Tomatoes link would go here:
Married To It - Rotten Tomatoes
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/married_to_it/

etc.

Maybe you could use google "I'm feeling lucky" and intitle: and site:
intitle:"Married To It" site:movietome.com
intitle:"Married To It" site:flixster.com
intitle:"Married To It" site:fandango.com
intitle:"Married To It" site:movies.yahoo.com

__________________________
Sites without a checkbox

Blockbuster (UK)
Netflicks

__________________________
Some sites refuse to open in tabs

allmovie
javascript:document.forms['_md_allmovie_search'].submit()

ebert
javascript:document.forms['_md_ebert_search'].submit()

metacritic
javascript:document.forms['_md_metacritic_search'].submit()

__________________________
IMDB - add Rottentomatoes info

This script grabs the rating and displays it for Rottentomatoes.

IMDB - add Rottentomatoes info – Userscripts.org
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12897

But your script has given me greasemonkey greed. It would be nice to have direct links to the movie on many sites and that the ratings numbers were displayed too.

I love the script. I only just realised I can get updates to all my GM scripts!! So my customized version of your earlier one will have to go now, with all the torrent sites on it!
One thing though - is there any way to include in the script the opening of searches in a new tab??? I know this can be done(and always is by me) by the usual method of middle clicking the link but it doesn't work with those searches that aren't as straightforward as a simple html link with a search string added somewhere. You know the ones I am talking of: Metacritic, greencine, Ebert, All Movie and maybe some more. the ones that seem to use a javascript submit or some .dll file in their search engine. If you cannot make them open in a new tab and then submit the search the same way you already have it then OK. I can live with that!
One thing though - the icons/text DOES NOT SHOw anywhere on the Filmspot pages. Maybe they changed The code?
thought I'd let you know.

I am pretty new to all this so have to ask you:
If I modify my local script here with torrent sites and a few select movie review sites can I upload it as a new script if I mention it is a mod of yours or not?
The current scripts that have similar functionality are pretty lame...bad sites and just not that good. I only barely understand the scripting so yours is easy for me to just customize!
Cheating I know!
Let me know if I can somehow share it with others without offending you as the original creator!
