zRate Netflix: IMDB Ratings & Show Info

Its not working.

No longer works.

Great ext, but it lacks a critical feature (found in most other netflix exts) ==> A click on the rating should open the IMDb page automatically (in another tab). Another winning option is to have one's own IMDb rating (in blue) next to the general one (that's a way to ensure the show has already been watched in the past). Besides that, it does the job (but - an option to hide items < 7.5 (movies) and < 8 (series) - a way to change ratings colors (the lower it is, the lighter it becomes... Show more

I like the info the extension can show. But as others have mentioned, it unfortunately sometimes gets the wrong movie/show.

The ratings are way far off. I end up making misinformed decisions instead of more effort in making informed decisions. And it also ends up taking too much real estate on the UI which is quite annoying.

Could you please specify what shows/movies you are seeing inaccurate ratings? I will work on a fix. The extension is simply using the show name embedded in the show card in netflix to match the show in IMDB, RT, and metacritic, sometimes if multiple shows/movies share the same (or similar) name we can see an inaccurate scores.

Very handy app. Makes my life easy while watching Netflix.

Useful for quick plot and PG ratings. Any way to hide the distracting discuss show or make it smaller and quiet?

In the next update, which will be out this month, I will make the discuss button optional.

Exactly what I needed.

Works in contrast with other similar plugins!

Ratings are mostly wrong. They pull the data from the first match found. For istance: "The Monster" pulls the score from "The Monster Squad" for IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, which is the first match for that query. Make it so it has to be an exact match & year matching as well instead.

Hi Bruno, I understand what you are saying and will try to come up with a fix in the next update. We simply use the raw title, do some quick preprocessing, and find the closest match in IMDB to display relevant information. Found that this isn't a problem in most cases, but there are a few exceptions. Netflix doesnt really display the year information in the show card, but I will try and see what I can do. Appreciate your feedback.
