Issue: Is this addon working correctly? #176

Hi,

I found this extension recently and it seems super neat!

I am a bit confused regarding the functionality provided by this addon, and I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is bugs or the intended behaviour.

So I'm planning to post my random observations / questions here, to see if some kind soul can help me understand this addon better. Apologies for not following the bug report format!

Questions

  1. (bug) When I visit https://webtoplex.github.io/web/ , I get a search bar and a blank screen. When I search for a movie and click its title, I also get a blank screen.

    Error in browser console says the following: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: can't access property "key", json.results.filter(...)[0] is undefined

  2. (question) What is the purpose of the https://webtoplex.github.io/web page? I assumed that I needed to visit it as part of extension setup. I granted it some permissions and entered my TMDb API key. But does it also fill the purpose of being an alternate UI for TMDb / Radarr / Plex?

  3. (question) When visiting a movie on e.g. IMDB or Letterboxd, how can I see whether the movie exists in my library or not? It's a bit unclear to me how the UI is supposed to work. At first I thought it was communicated by the opacity of the icon, but I get different icons on IMDB and Letterboxd for the same film:

  4. (bug?) Nothing happens when I click the "Add Movie" button. I've tried on both IMDB and Letterboxd for different movies. I don't get any logs in the developer console. Not sure if it is supposed to trigger something?

  5. (question) How can I trigger a download of a movie from within IMDB / Letterboxd? The readme mentions certain sites (denoted with the "download" icon). Maybe IMDB / Letterboxd do not support the Download action?

Extension Information

Additional comments

I'm very excited by what this extension sets out to do! My goal is to be able to interact with Plex/Radarr directly from IMDB / Letterboxd.

I would appreciate if someone could explain the current state of this project, and maybe answer my questions outlined above.

Thanks in advance :)
