The one you click to update the colors on movies you've made changes to. It was in the my lists page. IMDB made a new wesbite, and I accepted to try out the beta (wanted to see what they have ruined next). Now that link button is gone. all my previous movies are still showing up in their proper colours, just not anything since my last button update.

hopefully this is not the end for this wonderful little extension!

Hi!

I'm travelling at the moment, and will have a ton of work to take care of before I can even try to fix this - and I'd need access to the same version of the site you are now using, so I can't promise you a quick fix. If you want to, try to revert from the beta for now (unless you are enjoying the new version of the site and don't mind not using the script for a while, of course).

FWIW, for quite a long time I was thinking about making this a true browser add-on / extension, with more features, and compatible with at least Firefox mobile. I thought about creating a Patreon, Kickstarter or similar to gauge interest and see if it is worth the trouble to not just continue updating it after so many years, but make it simpler, easier to use and with more features.

I'll try to get back to you one way or another in this thread (maybe in a few weeks).

Hi Alto, thanks for the quick response, I was able to leave the beta and the original version works again.

I would be happy to support the project, would be a shame to see it end with this new website update, I am quite happy that I haven't had to fiddle around with the current grease monkey script and it has just worked for the last few years. I would think that if this new website update was addressed, it could work for many more years without too much work on your end.

enjoy the vacay

Hi Alto,

unfortunately the changes to the IMDB website are now default - there is no way back to the old "layout".

Hope you will have some time in the near future, to have a look.

Thanks in advance. Your script is still a life saver for me :)

Regards

Hi, sammler!

I can't promise I'll fix it this week, but I'll try.

please update it

Hi AltoRetrato,

I couldn't thank you enough for your work with this IMDb 'My Movies' enhancer...
Hope you will find some time to have a look.

Kind regards

Hey, everyone - I just updated the script to v. 1.52, and it seems to be working fine again, at least for me. Please check if it works for you:

• update the script (via Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey, etc. or reinstall)
• open http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list
• click [Clear highlight data]
• click [Refresh highlight data]

Happy green links!

Thanks so much for this update!
The green links are back. :)
The only remaining issue on my side is that the content of the watchlist is not highlighted in yellow anymore.
In case it helps, here's the warning message I get when refreshing highlight data:

Done, but could not load list(s):

• Your check-ins
• Your Watchlist

This script can only read public lists.

(and my watchlist is set to public of course)

I have good and bad news.

The good news - I tested and released v. 1.53, which should fix the issue loading Watchlist and Check-Ins (even if they are set to private). Happy green AND yellow links! :)

The bad news - it seems IMDb is changing the way lists are exported.

If you open the page for a list now, when you click the "Export" button, instead of downloading the list right away, it will tell you the file is being processed, and you can see the progress at https://www.imdb.com/exports/ . In theory, you can only download the list when it is "ready" for download in that page...

I don't know why they are doing this, but a first guess would be to lower costs (by using cheaper cloud instances, remaining time of a closing instance or something like that).

For now, the export links used by the script are still working fine, but as they are not "canonical" anymore, they might stop working at any moment. If / when this happens, it would require a considerable amount of changes in the script, and we might find some limitations with the new changes being applied.

Years ago I thought about how to avoid reloading all lists at once (and even avoid reloading at all), and that would help specially those with many lists (and/or very large lists). Now I might need to implement some of those ideas if IMDb slows down exporting too much.

For now, let's hope the script just keeps working for at least a few more years before requiring any changes...

AltoRetrato, thank you so much for your work. That's brilliant!
I appreciate a lot the implementation details, so thanks also for these.
IMDb made things a little chaotic regarding another script (link'em all) a few years back, but it has remained stable so far. Fingers crossed for yours!
Kindest regards.

hx AltoRetrato for all the work you have done over the last years with this amazing script.
