A little workaround for the imdb-credentials-issue

Hi community,

some users try to get their imdb watchlist in order to list match it to their rss-list. For quite a time this fails because of a missing api on imdb-side and a resulting credential issue within the imdb plugin.

I don't know if the following workaround is publically known. However I want to be sure and share my little workaround with you. With the workaround you can now get access to your imdb-watchlist via rss without loging into imdb.

1.
Make your imdb watchlist public.

2.
Login into imdb, click on your watchlist and extrakt the following path:
http://www.imdb.com/user/ur123456/watchlist

"ur123456" is just an example and is your personal ID.

3.
use the following code and replace "ur123456" with your ID:

tasks:
  get_imdb_watchlist:
    priority: 1
    disable:
      - seen
      - seen_info_hash
    inputs:
      - rss: http://rss.imdb.com/user/ur123456/watchlist
    trakt_lookup: yes
    accept_all: yes
    list_add:
      - movie_list: mymovies
  match_with_imdb_watchlist:
    priority: 20
    disable:
      - seen
      - seen_info_hash
    inputs:
      - rss: https://YOUR-rss-source
    trakt_lookup: yes
    list_match:
      from:
        - movie_list: mymovies
      action: accept

That's it.
