Watcher currently has the ability to sync an IMDB watchlist, with plans to add more services in the future.

IMDB

Watcher is able to pull movies from and IMDB watch list and automatically add them with the default Quality settings.

Unfortunately, IMDB does not make their RSS urls obvious, so this short guide will help you find the correct url.

You may use a separate list than the main Watchlist on IMDB.

  • Copy the first half of the url: http://www.imdb.com/user/ur00000000/watchlist and change the www to rss
  • Enter your new url http://rss.imdb.com/user/ur00000000/watchlist into Watcher.
  • Restart Watcher to enable to scheduler to automatically sync. The first sync will occur approximately 5 minutes after Watcher start.
