Now on with the scripts that will make Netflix the best. I have tried all the scripts. To me....These are the best.


1. Netflix Queue Sorter: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/35183

This is sooooooo.....So handy for Instant Queue. I click organize by Genre. Makes getting through the list a bit better. Also can move all dvd movies streaming soon to the bottom of the list. Nice!

2. Netflix Instant Default Queue: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/56347

I pretty much always look at the Instant Queue first. So this is awesome.

3. Netflix boximages in Queue: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11063

With a ton of movies added. It's just easier to look at image titles than text titles.

4. Netflix Notes: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30744

Sometimes you forget why you added a flick. So this is freaking handy.

5. View All Netflix Profile Queues: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/3359

Just makes it easier to see what the other user has in there queue when looking at your own. If you have more than one profile on your account.

Another tip to see if the other Netflix user has a movie available Instantly is to add them as a friend and look at there Queue on your friend list.

By clicking Friends then Friends home. Then on the right side click Friends & Faves. Find there profile where it says Queue: (a number of titles here) click the number of titles by Queue.

Any dvd movie they have added that is available instantly will tell you by a little play icon by the add icon.

However it will not tell you if it's a title that will be streaming soon.

But it will help in case the movie is already streaming and save the profile member from renting a dvd that they can just steam instead. Kind of clunky, but hey complain to Netflix.

Now if Netflix could just add these features to there site by default!

Plus multiple Instant Queues and better queue organizing! Like by Genre and such!

Netflix just realllllyyyy needs to up there site.

Check: http://userscripts.org/scripts/search?q=netflix&x=0&y=0 for more.

Enjoy!

Hey give it a try.

But you know saying that is like saying if all those Gmail lab features are useful. Some like em and some don't. So yeah some people think the Netflix site is lacking in features and customization. So let me know if these scripts help ya or let me know why they suck. ;)

nope.. i wont be using them.

i find the netflix site does what i need it to.

it searches

it lets me put stuff in queue

it lets me order my queue

it lets me insta-watch movies at the click of a button.

i dont need it to do anything else.

I agree. it's the same thing with gmail. I remember back when I first started using, how annoyed I was with the lack of folders, and the assumption that I would constantly want to file and sort all of my mail as I would my other email accounts.

I eventually realized that their argument about using search to find anything you ever need is 100% correct. Thank you gmail, for removing the time-consuming and needless sorting and filing from my life. I can now get back to more useful things, like downloading more porn.

I can't imagine ever needing to add more order to my Netflix queue.

You Welcome. I really like the Netflix Queue Sorter. Like I can't live without it. Especially since I tend to add allot to the Instant Queue, so when browsing on the Roku sorting it all by Genre makes navigating through it to pick something a breeze.

Plus when dvds are streaming soon, in two clicks I can move them all to the bottom of my dvd queue.

Yeah the box images makes quickly browsing down a large list easier to me. I can skim pics faster than text titles.
