IMDB Movie Player

Introduction

This is a small script which adds a 'PLAY THIS MOVIE' button in any IBDM page, which when clicked, opens a modal with a video player. Now I won't have to copy the links over and over again :P. Provided movie is a pirated one, obviously. Give this extension a try, you won't have to search for movie links again. If you like it, appreciate it, star this repo. And if you face any error, contact me
[Update] To use this extention on the new verson of IMDB, use the pre-release of v2, installation process is same amd play button will appear above the videos button in the right.

More Info on Chrome Extensions

Extensions are made of different, but cohesive, components. Components can include background scripts, content scripts, an options page, UI elements and various logic files. Extension components are created with web development technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. An extension's components will depend on its functionality and may not require every option.

This tutorial will build an extension that allows the user to change the background color of any page on developer.chrome.com. It will use many core components to give an introductory demonstration of their relationships.
