Watched TV Shows

Hi Ryan,

This looks great but I’m a bit stuck on how to make it work. I have imported the template, but unsure how to generate the api key or where to put it

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Andrew

Hi, I figured out where to put the API key. Now, how do you make the script run? When I go to scripts/ show console log/ it stays blank

This is brilliant, thanks. Until now I have been tracking my TV show progress with a spreadsheet, but this script does a much better job.

One issue though – the table seems to miss some episodes, even though they’re there on IMDb (see attached).

Well that showed up… Ill ask my Question again.

I’m brand new to Tap Forms 5 – Still in the trial period – Using it on Mac

When I run the script to import a show it adds a record titled ‘No’ but no information is imported. If I try to run the script again on the script console log I get the error “series already exists undefined” regardless if it’s the same show or not.

URL Used: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3107288/

I did one change to the script that was imported to change line 26 which had apikey=BanMePlz or similar. I changed it to apikey=${apiKey} and it was able to import both of those links you provide.

You need to get an OMDB API key and set it at the top of the script and it looks like the source link that was posted is correct: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/rjames86/d29ae0de333a863c831a8f7379c973e3/raw/d5d6e39dc0f7177037ca0e2fe5e43f5cba37d76d/tvShows.js

If you copy and paste that in and then change the first line to include the API key from http://www.omdbapi.com like this:

var apiKey = 'YOURAPIKEYHERE';

I did try importing The Orville but it didn’t fully import properly for some reason (looks like the data is missing from the API). I also tried Star Trek Enterprise and that seemed to work properly.

Looks like you’re missing the trailing slash. When I go to IMDB, it adds the slash for me and the regexp for the script is looking for the final slash. Try https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0185906/ instead.

If you open the script up in the script editor, the text box on the bottom right is the console log. Can you share the output of that corner with the input?

Try replacing the script with the contents of this gist: https://gist.github.com/pasamio/3086e8209676e956459f6325b38ab95d. It should output some debugging messages once you submit the input, e.g.:

No idea if there was an error in the script, I might have fixed something but it wasn’t mine to begin with and to be honest I don’t actually generally use this template.

I don’t know why there are gaps, I noticed that earlier but I wonder if that is because it’s not actually IMDB but an open version.

I don’t generally track my TV in TF, I have queues in various platforms with more than enough content to keep me busy.

Hi,
Thanks for your perseverance ;-))

This application seems to use a lot of graphics. So, does it take up a lot of space on an iPhone? I recently had to delete a bunch of programs and now have 5 GB of free space.

Also, reading about getting an API key seems to indicate that you get charged for what you download. Is that true?
