Rating Reader is a Windows application that reads media scores along with other useful information from IMDb and conveniently displays them for you in a spoiler-free way.
The application works by parsing the HTML from IMDb's website with the library jsoup. The IMDb website is constantly changing - this means Rating Reader will eventually stop working when it won't be able to read the site's new HTML layout.
- Most recently tested to be working at: 2022-03-26 (Rating Reader may not work after this date).
- Needs an internet connection to work (obviously).
- Developed, tested, and working on Windows 10. Functionality for other platforms or Windows versions is unknown.
You can run the application either through the runnable .jar or .exe. The most recent version of both files can be downloaded from the releases page.
- .jar: A recent JRE needs to be installed to run the .jar.
- .exe: For the .exe to be able to run, it must always be located in the same directory as the included "win32" folder. A shortcut of the .exe can be created and placed wherever for easier access.
