Script Summary: Add the latest movies to your Netflix queue quick and easy! Shows your movies queue status on popular movie websites and has a simple "Add to Queue" button.
Version: 1.31
Warning: This script only works for Netflix subscribers logged into their Netflix account.
Description: This script will put an icon next to each movie title on many popular movie websites. A "Q" icon will appear if the movie is in your Netflix queue. A "N" icon will appear if it is not. Clicking one these icons will popup a box showing the movies name, box cover, description, rating, and the status of the movie in your Netflix queue. The queue status button resembles the button on the Netflix website by showing "Add", "Save", "At Home", or "In Queue". The button can be clicked so you can add the movie to your queue instantly. All without having to leave the site your on.
Sites:The sites the script supports are the following: imdb.com, moviephone.com, rottentomatoes.com, fandango.com, metacritic.com
Notes/Suggestions:
- Make sure your logged into your Netflix account before using this script. It uses the Netflix search page info to populate the popup box.
- The movie title in the popup is a link to the Netfix search page. Use it if you want to see the results of the actual Netflix search page.
- The movie that comes up in the popup box is the first movie listing from the Netflix search page. On really obscure movies or movies Netflix has a hard time finding you will get the wrong movie in the popup box. The script is only as good as the Netflix search engine. Don't worry, most of the time it's correct.
- Use the movie box picture and the description to make sure you are viewing the correct movie you want. Comparing the pictures and descriptions assures your putting the correct movie in your queue.
- Movie names/titles from Netflix and movie websites don't always match up. Sometimes you will not see a Q icon when you should. Just click the icon to check the status.
- The script is not perfect and you will see icons next to things that are not movie titles sometimes. Most sites don't use an exact scheme for their movie title elements/urls so it's hard to get the right tags every time. Deal with it.

1.0 - Initial release.Reason for script: Before writing the script I would hit "In Theaters" and "Coming Soon" sections of the popular movie websites (rottentomatoes.com and such) so I could add movies to my queue before they go to DVD. I would also look at other movies that have been out for a while and check their ratings to see if they were worth putting in my queue. That led to a lot of annoying copying and pasting titles into the Netflix search box. Sites like dvdlater.com are good for the current popular stuff but you can't search deep into current and past movies. Also, you can't look at the respective sites ratings on said movie with sites like dvdlater.
