Search IMDb with Movies workflow

[simonbs]

Hello,

 

I have used this workflow developed by Robert Hovath but I often want to look up and actor, so I decided to make my own workflow for searching for actors, movies and TV series on IMDb and I'ld like to share it with you 

 

 

The workflow uses one single command.

• m [query] Looks up a movie, TV series or actor matching the query.

If a movie or TV series is selected, detailed information will be loaded from OMDb and shown. The detailed information includes the option for watching plot summary and a poster in quick look, view a list of actors in Alfred and view a trailer on YouTube.

If an actor is selected, the corresponding IMDb website will be opened.

 

I like to keep the commands I often use very short and therefore I chose just 'm'. If you don't like it, I'm sure you know how to change it.

 

You can download the latest version here or grab the source code at GitHub. I'm sorry that the workflow is not yet available on AlfPT but I'm unable to upload my workflows

Trying to replicate Simzdk's error, I had the same issue.

Ah, yes. Brain fart. It should be fixed now. Grab the latest version.

Great! Just read about Man of Steel (2013).

Awesome extension!

 

I would like to see the rating of the movie in the suggested results, is it possible?

[Xeneye]

Wow, how cool is this, love it.

Damn dude, just made an account to tell you how awesome this workflow is!

This workflow sounds great. Unfortunately it does not work for me.

Regardless of what I enter as query after the keyword - nothing happens. Any suggestions?

 

I looked for error messages in console and found this, maybe it helps...

This is a great workflow, thanks. The only issue I have is that it's a bit slow to load, especially when typing the results often come late and take multiple seconds to load what you really wanted results for. Any way to speed this up?

Anyone else still using this workflow? Mine stopped working today.
