Broken - Average Rating, Star/Average Rating, Length, Year, Format, Langauge, Date Added

[chris78664]

First I love your script it is a very useful. Unlucky these buttons are broken Average Rating, Star/Average Rating, Length, Year, Format, Language, Date Added. I have re-downloaded the latest Grease Monkey script (2.101) all these choices [buttons] are broken (stuck retrieving data) again since Netflix updated their pages again. I would have posted this on userscripts.org but it has been down for a while now. Any help would be appreciated.

I only have the Instant plan and it works for me there: http://www.netflix.com/MyList Unfortunately I cannot test the page for the DVD plan. What is the URL you're running the script on and which browser are you using?

Could you enable debug mode and capture the output? Here are the steps:

• go to the script's config option (the wrench icon), enable debug mode and save the change
• right-click anywhere in the page and select the "inspect element" option (a panel should open up at the bottom of the page)
• click the "console" tab
• now run the sort again and you should get output (you may want to limit the sort to the first 5 rows)
• please capture the output and post it here

Let me know if you run into trouble.

I uploaded v2.102 (on GitHub as Userscripts.org is down), that may likely also fix this issue. Please let me know if it does not.

Most likely same as issue #1. Please reopen if there's still a problem.

I am experiencing a similar problem. I am using the latest script with Tampermonkey on Chrome and find that the following buttons don't work (a slightly different set than in the issue title): length, year, language, format, average rating, star/avg rating, even when all rows are selected.

Here is some debug information after pressing the 'year' button for all rows:

Hi Jared,

Fetch retriever data. VM4994:244 Retrieve fields: ["year","title"] from: netflix-details-page VM4994:244 Retrieving: http://www.netflix.com/movie/70143836?fdvd=true

Can you load the details page mentioned above and send me the HTML source of that page at [email deleted]? Something must have changed in the HTML, so I'll need to update the script.

Do you have DVD plan only, Instant only or both?

[jaredsohn]

Hi, I only have the Instant plan. I have sent the HTML source of that page to your e-mail.

Netflix made a large UI change that went out to everyone as of a couple of weeks ago (some people experienced it earlier via UI experiments).

Thanks so much for building this script.

We're using this script as a part of the Flix Plus by Lifehacker extension and I just made some fixes that may interest you. You can find them here, should you want to incorporate something similar into the userscript (if nothing else, to better understand the scope of the required changes): https://github.com/jaredsohn/flix_plus/commit/d5c88ea87b9216ab38e236e441913ee7b1dc4085

Note that we're only using this script for streaming and the changes were made to a fork of an older version of the script.

Basically, I removed support for the language, average rating, and star/average rating fields since the parsing for these fields broke and this information is not shown within movie pages. Also, I updated the length parser to work with '###h ###m' type strings; I'm now treating anything without this information (mostly TV shows) as zero length since episode information requires some JavaScript to get run before it is shown. Finally, I removed a few fields (such as format) that seemed like they would only be useful when the queue includes DVDs (it seemed strange to me that the field was even being shown.) The above changes also allowed some of the other sort types (such as 'year') to work since it wouldn't run into the same errors.
