Highlight movies and series based on status

Currently if you open up a list such as https://www.imdb.com/chart/toptv/ it doesn't immediately become clear that you watched a certain show unless you squint your eyes and look at the ratings given or the yellow icon for items on your Watchlist.

So now I'm using a userscript to give entries a color based on status:

🟩 = Watched/Rated

🟦 = Watchlist

🟥 = Dropped (Manually created list on https://www.imdb.com/profile/lists/)

That looks as followed on https://www.imdb.com/chart/toptv/:

Plus on Actor pages https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0050959/:

Userscript for those that are interested in trying it out:

This simple userscript offers a lot of clarity for me and I'm sure there are others that might find this kind of functionality useful on a website like IMDB. I wonder if there are any plans on adding something like this (or similar) that doesn't rely on 'hacky' userscripts that might break after IMDB changes something on the website.

Hi, frtazz:

Thank you very much for the userscript! It's very simple and does exactly what I was looking for. I don't know anything about JavaScript, but somehow I managed to modify it so it works with the Spanish (Spain) version of IMDb (simply by inserting “es-es/” into each URL string) and, while I was at it, I added a line so it also works with results from the main search bar.

EDITED TO ADD: frtazz's response to my reply above has been marked as Private, hence it can't be read by users. I don't see anything that seems objectionable, so I'm posting it below. And yes, the userscript now works with localized pages. Thank you!

@ljdoncel Great to see it adds value for you, I never realized it used completely different URL's for other languages. Fixed it so it works on every page by removing the hardcoded entries and make it work on every page on imdb.com which may cause issues with code changes or pages I don't regularly visit but I will have to monitor that. I also noticed it added Hide buttons in the actor list on other languages that I had fixed on English, so that should be fixed now as well instead of it overlapping the release year.

I also have another script that might interest you:https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/581024-imdb-hide-movies-and-series

This lets you hide shows from showing up in lists, find or actor pages. They do show up in the search bar if you search for it, but I left that there intentionally.

Just released an update for the Hide shows script to work with localized titles as well and changes based on the language used on IMDB.com
