I’m a little late to this thread, but figured I’d chime in if anyone else still has this problem.

I created a service called “Save My Ratings” that allows you to copy your movie ratings from sites like Netflix.

You can copy your ratings from Netflix into Amazon, Blockbuster, Yahoo , RottenTomatoes…etc.. Or vis-versa. For example, lots of people copy their Netflix ratings into Amazon; to improve the Amazon recommendations. Or you can just copy them back into another netflix profile.

Check it out and let me know if you have any suggestions. SaveMyRatings

Thanks.

I have rewritten the ratings retrieval code and updated the URLs and regexp used.

I got it working by inserting a ” after mpaa and genre in the regexp:
/movieid=(\d+).*?trkid=\d+”>([^(.*?)(.*?)

I fixed the regular expression but it hangs when it is checking it… I never got this work before they changed the site so I dont my setup even works…

Anyone got it working?

Any update on this? Can somebody post what the updated regex needs to be? All I need is to fetch all of the movieid’s for the movies I have rated. My ultimate goal is to clear the ratings for all of the movies I have rated so that I can start from scratch.

I can write my own script to do the clearing based on the URL, but I need a way to fetch all of my movieid’s (2700 of them)

Fixed the code for sub getRatings. Hope this works for everyone.

sub getRatings {
my ( $self ) = @_;

my %rat;
my %year;
my %id;
my %mpaa;
my %genre;
my $body = ‘alt=”Next”‘;
my $cur = 1;
my $genre =”;
while ( $body =~ /alt=”Next”/i ) {
open(FD, “>>nflicks.txt”) or die(“Couldn’t open nflicks.txt”);
$self->{www}->get( “http://www.netflix.com/MoviesYouveSeen?title_sort=t&pageNum=$cur” );
$body = $self->{www}->content();
# print $body;

# This is the main Regular Expression. If Netflix ever changes their web site,
# this regular expression will need to change as well.
while ( $body =~ /MovieDisplay\?movieid=(\d+).*?>([^(.*?)(.*?)

That example chart was automatically created by using a PHP5 script I wrote to grab ratings data. I will be presenting the code on my website shortly. You can e-mail me at nfessel@gmail.com if you have questions or suggestions. Thanks.
