Click on the homepage and then click Import under 'my account', scroll down to the IMDB my movies section. Then you just need to enter a public imdb list.

Ok, I just found this homepage and I'm thrilled about it. So I started to import all my IMDB votes. But it only added the movies without the votes. My list is public, so I wonder if I did anything wrong???!! Thanks in advance for your help.

It worked when I tried it, what happens when you put in the url?

I just imported my custom 'Not Interested' list from IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=44036022), which is separate from my Vote History and all the movies were not only added to my Watched list but the IMDb User Ratings (rather than my rating, which none have) were recorded as my ratings on listal. There was no warning about the possibility of this happening, so I assume its an error. Also, can it be undone? There were 988 erroneous ratings imported.

I can remove the items added or I can set the listtype to something else and/or remove the rating for those items. Let me know.

The imdb importer says in bold that items are added to the watched list. Sorry about the ratings as that was a bug in the importer, I fixed that now.

Right, I see the way I worded it I wasn't clear that I was expecting them to be added to the watched list; that's what I was I after, I just need the ratings removed. Thanks for the fix.

I'm also unable to import my imdb ratings. Should I remove every film I have rated on Listal?

I've now fixed the importer, but in the new imdb system I can't work out why some lists have a persons ratings and other do not but the "Your ratings" list should work.

Mine's not working, either. Somebody fix this issue. I adding the ratings link on imdb to the import section, and it's left blank just as the OP says.

Have you set your IMDb ratings to "public", not private?

By the way, I am not entirely clear what Listal means by

"IMDB ratings and lists"
"Imported movies and tv will be watched list, ratings will replace existing listal ratings "
www.listal.com/user/import


Does that mean that ALL existing Listal ratings will be deleted, or does it mean that Listal ratings FOR THE SAME MOVIES in my IMDb ratings... will be overwritten, while not deleting others that are not in the IMDb list?

I guess the former applies, but I would like the latter :)

It does not work for me either, with a public list.

It looks like imdb do not allow public access of their export file any more unless you are logged in. I had to change the importer so you have to upload the cvs file now. You can download the cvs file from imdb at the bottom of a list.

does it mean that Listal ratings FOR THE SAME MOVIES in my IMDb ratings... will be overwritten


Yes this is what it means, items not rated on imdb will not affect the Listal rating.

Hi!

Does this feature still work?
I export the csv, import it, Listal lists the titles, but then they are not imported.

What should I do?

Thanks
