aspect ratio at top, replied by MikeGolan

MikeGolan — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:58:58 +0000

The aspect ratio is important now with 2.35 screen that I have at home, choosing if a 1080 is better or 720 will be enough for download...

CODE:

AFTER var lang = titleDoc.getLanguage();
if(...)
ADD

var aspect=titleDoc.getAspect();
if(aspect!=null) titleAttrs.push(aspect);

ADD FUNC

titleDoc.getAspect = function() {
var aspect_text = this.selectNodeNullable(
"//*[text()='Aspect Ratio:']/following-sibling::text()[1]");
if (aspect_text == null) {
return null;
}
return aspect_text.textContent;

}

I'd also love to have that AKA of the movie (and select only one title, from USA/UK/International in that order title and display only that) - sorry no code :-(

OK thx for at least thinking about it.

It sounds like you're asking me to add information to titles on the Search Results page. This would involve retrieving the underlying page for each listed title in the background, and that would cause a performance hit during every title search. So no, that is not feasible.

Was wondering if you could add something for me.
On the site that I download movies from we have personal made list of actors and the links of the movies if they are onsite. One of the categories is the type of movie it is. All the information I need is on the actors page but the genre of the movie so this requires me to click on each movie to find this information out. Is there are way you could add a quick change so that the titles go from this:

Port of New York (1949) .... Paul Vicola
to this:
Port of New York (1949) .... Paul Vicola (Crime | Drama | Film-Noir)

I take it that should read: Version: 0.3.3.1? not 1.3.3.1. Great script by the way. Use it nearly everyday.

This has been fixed in 1.3.3.1

Headshot issue, replied by MagnoliaSouth

Just wanted to let you know that headshots are not being magnified under full credits. Example: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107207/fullcredits (no headshots).

Example:
Headshots: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107207/
No headshots: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107207/fullcredits

Just thought you might wish to know. :)

Great script though! It's the only one I use continuously.

I'll have a look at that when I get a chance. Frankly, even though I enabled the feature on both title and name pages, I have never really used the name page side of myself. Thanks for providing such a specific use case. That always makes it much more likely for me to analyze it.

This feature doesn't actually work properly when searching names. It always selects the first title. Is it supposed to be like that? Could you add support for names too?
Another thing: sometimes, the link beside the "[A]" isn't the one that is gonna be selected. Take the search for "Matt Damon", for example. It puts an "[A]" beside a character called "Matt Damon", selecting "The Departed", when it actually should be selecting and putting an "[A]" in the actor "Matt Damon".

thanks for such a great script!

Bug when directed from board, replied by Chris Noé

Thanks Robin, that's a great catch. See version 0.3.2.1 for the fix, which uses your suggestion.

The "Display age at release" doesn't work for me, when I've been directed from the discussion-board of a movie.

See Roy Rogers link here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095016/board/nest/...

Should be an easy fix. Either block when redirected from boards, or crop after "tt#######".

Oh, and great script by the way...

Thanks Chris! I had same problem and your Adblock filter helped me.

script bug?, replied by castaban

castaban — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:51:57 +0000

Thanks, that did stop it. That is one hell of a rule, so complicated and long. One interesting behavior: I added the rule, that fixed it (for one page the rule is hit 6 times), then disabled it and reloaded the page and rapid fire refresh started again. Now I enabled the rule and the rapid fire refresh stopped without me even reloading the page (This time the rule got hit just once). I don't know whether this helps.

I am sure to some capacity the problem is coming from this script, as when I disable it, it stops the problem).
Anyway, I can live with this workaround.

Chris Noé — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 23:06:06 +0000

I am stumped by this. I'm not even sure that it's being caused by my script, because debugging statements at the very top of the script do not get executed in those rapid fire refreshes. I'm starting to wonder if this is happening to any other imdb scripts...

I see now that it is not EasyList that is blocking the troublesome doubleclick content, but rather a custom rule that I have. Unfortunately I don't have any idea how I got these custom rules, but Adblock tells me which one is blocking the doubleclick goobers. I think you can add this rule yourself as follows:

Paste this into the Adblock options dialog, (just open the dialog and paste it):

This new rule should show up under "My Ad Blocking Rules". Make sure that it is Enabled.

Let me know if that helps.

I have adblock plus with EasyList subscription and it still happens to me even though Adblock is enabled. This is quite annoying. Any more info you can give to us until this is corrected?

script bug?, replied by Chris Noé

Chris Noé — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 13:45:44 +0000

Oookay, with a little experimentation I am able to see this problem by disabling my Adblock Plus extension. Apparently there is some weird interaction with doubleclick ads that imdb has integrated into their site. I'll look into this. In the meantime, you can get Adblock here: http://adblockplus.org/. You probably need a filter subscription for it to automatically block that doubleclick content, (subscriptions are free). I'm using EasyList.

THANKS jeroen for reporting this.

Chris Noé — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 02:54:04 +0000

Hmm, that's not happening for me. Nor does IMDb Weaver have any page reloading logic. What version of the script do you have? Which imdb domain are you visiting, (varies by country)? Maybe they have a problem going on. Have you tried disabling IMDb Weaver to see if the problem still occurs? (Right-click on the greasemonkey icon in the status bar, then click on IMDb Weaver to uncheck) Do you have any other scripts that operate on imdb.com?

Here at my side

When i go to imdb.com and look something up, the page keeps refreshing non-stop.
Anyone else having this problem, if so, could this be fixed.

I love using imdb weaver, so i hope this can be fixed.

Thanks,

Yep, I have noticed that the headshot magnifier is broken. IMDb seems to have changed the file naming conventions of their various picture sizes. I am trying to discern an underlying scheme that would make it possible to map smaller size pics to the larger size, but so far I am stumped. Any advice would be appreciated...

Version 0.3.1.1, minor improvement: does not magnify the photo placeholders.

Chris,

I appreciate the response, but I much prefer the way that your script enlarged the headshots, it is a lot prettier.

Version 0.3.1 makes the iMDB navigation bar collapsible. Click the blue triangle to collapse it (less clutter), or to expand it (more functionality).

Enjoy.
