It doesn't work.

I can't get the changes I made to be saved. Oh well.

Nolonger works

One serious flaw in this script. You can't click back on movie name to go back to the movie. And since netflix search sucks even searching for it by name 75% of the time doesn't find it. So if I need to go back to the movie I have to disable the script.

This external version works:

I was praying for Netflix to put in a shuffle feature until I came across this script. <3>

I'm using GM 0.6.4 and needed to use the old version, the new one didn't work for me. LOVE IT THOUGH! THANKS

 
Randall_Lind User

This is not working for me with GM 0.64 I even tried an old version of this script nothing is showing on my queue page at Netflix.

"Seems to have stopped working with GreaseMonkey 0.6.4." Agreed.

 
Matt Brown User

Seems to have stopped working with GreaseMonkey 0.6.4.

I also should mention that while drag and drop is nice, I would still like the option of sorting my queue by simply assigning a number to the selection. Drag and drop really has limited functionality for people with large queues.

The script does not work with Greasemonkey 0.6.2 for Firefox 1.5. The bookmarklet version works however, the script slows down firefox 1.5. Maybe you should try not using your own personal graphics and cut down on any external linking.

 
Gabe Gorelick Scriptwright

This is much better than the netflix interface. The resolution on the ratings is a little poor though. Also make the mouse to switch back to the special interface a pointer and not a text cursor.

 
Chris Bloom User

GREAT SCRIPT!! Works like a champ!

 
Chad User

I'm using this with GM 5.3 and all is working fine.

I haven't tried using the .52 or .53 versions of GM, so I don't know if that is related to any drag & drop issues you might be having. .51 has known bugs, and I have seen intermittent problems with it. .35 is what I'm sticking with until the GM development settles down.

 
Kevin Ballard User

The drag&drop isn't working, and that's the biggest feature of this.

As a followup on the security issue: external scripts don't have any visibility to the GM functions that are the focus of the recent Greasemonkey security scare. They are confined to the browser's sandbox, which is much more restrictive than Greasemonkey's.

I'm planning to make a Greasemonkey-only version of the script which embeds the external code soon. It would be naive to think that would be more secure though. It's only as secure as greasemonkey itself, and the user's ability to assess the 1200 lines of code.

The new version is being done primarily to improve performance. You lose the ability to get automatic version updates, but I think the feature set is pretty stable at this point.

This is a very cool script, but beware that it is just a wrapper for a few other scripts that were originally a bookmarklet. Now I don't see anything evil in the code, but having my script go and call another script on a third party's server (which for all I know, isn't under badsegue's control) could be harmful. At a minimum, they know everytime I go to netflix... so I changed that around so that my copy doesn't go querry this third party server anymore. So A+++ functionallity, D- on security/safety.

The script doesn't require much explanation, but documentation is available at http://netflix.badsegue.org

Awesome script.

 
Steve Daly User

Nice features for queue management

 
herrin User

This is my favorite greasemonkey script. Fills a need I had on my Netflix queue.
