• ▶️ One-Click Play
  Adds a Play button directly to supported IMDb movie and TV show pages.

• 🎬 Movies & TV Shows
  Supports both IMDb movies and TV shows.

• 🖼️ Popup Player
  Opens playback in a popup player without requiring the user to navigate away from IMDb.

• 📺 Picture-in-Picture
  Pop the player out into an always-on-top floating window. Because it uses the modern Document PiP API, it keeps the subtitles and player controls in PiP.

• 🔖 Built-in Watchlist
  Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar to save titles to your personal Watchlist and launch them later with one click.

1. Download the latest PlayIMDb.zip from Releases.
2. Extract the ZIP file.
3. Open chrome://extensions/.
4. Enable Developer mode.
5. Click Load unpacked.
6. Select the extracted folder.

git clone https://github.com/iamnvn/PlayIMDb.git
cd PlayIMDb

Then load the project folder through chrome://extensions/ → Load unpacked.

Navigate to any movie or TV show page on IMDb. Example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816692/

A golden PlayIMDb button will appear next to the movie title. Click it to launch the player.

The movie will instantly start playing in a popup player directly over the IMDb page. From the player overlay, you can:

• Open Picture-in-Picture (PiP): Open the player in a floating Picture-in-Picture window so you can keep browsing.
• Open in New Tab: Open the player in a separate browser tab.

Click the PlayIMDb extension icon in your browser toolbar to open the popup. From here, you can add the current movie to your Watchlist, view your saved titles, and check for extension updates.

Play IMDb detects the IMDb title ID from the current IMDb page and determines whether the page represents a movie or TV show.

It then generates the corresponding playback URL using supported provider and loads it inside the extension's player.

While the extension handles the IMDb integration, UI, Watchlist, and playback controls, it does not host any video content itself.
