AMC Plus Web Continue Watching Sync

WHAT IT DOES

This tool displays your AMC Plus "Continue Watching" list in a compact, easy-to-scan panel. It extracts show titles, episode numbers, progress percentages, and last watched timestamps from the page. Each show appears with a progress bar, episode details, and a "Resume" button that opens the episode at your saved position. The panel shows summary statistics including total shows in progress, average progress, and completion count. The script stores your continue watching data locally, allowing you to sync progress across devices and refresh the list manually. Desktop notifications alert you when new shows are added to your continue watching list.

WHERE IT RUNS

The script activates on AMC Plus pages (amcplus.com), including the homepage, show pages, and watch pages. It automatically detects continue watching items using multiple extraction strategies that work across different AMC Plus layouts. The panel appears as a draggable overlay that stays accessible as you browse content.

HOW TO USE

Navigate to any AMC Plus page. The panel will appear showing your continue watching list. Each show displays its title, episode, progress bar with percentage, and a "Resume" button—click it to open the episode in a new tab at your saved position. Use the "Refresh (s)" input to control how often the script checks for updates (default 30 seconds). Use the "Sort" dropdown to order shows by recent activity, progress percentage, or title. The "Sync Now" button manually refreshes the list, and "Clear Saved" removes all locally stored continue watching data. The script automatically stores your list locally and notifies you when new shows are added.

THE TECHNICAL MECHANISM

The script employs a multi-strategy DOM extraction approach for AMC Plus's continue watching interface. It first attempts structured selectors targeting known class names like .continue-watching-item and .cw-item, then falls back to heuristic detection of item containers based on content patterns including percentage signs, "continue", and "resume" indicators. Title extraction prioritizes dedicated title elements and falls back to parsing the first non-numeric, non-progress text line. Episode detection handles multiple formats including "S1E2", "Episode 3", and season/episode combinations. Progress extraction captures percentage values from text or progress bar widths. Last watched timestamps are extracted from date patterns or relative time phrases ("2 hours ago", "3 days ago"). Each show is assigned a unique ID by hashing the title and episode for storage deduplication. The local storage system uses GM_setValue to persist the list across sessions, enabling cross-device sync tracking. The auto-refresh uses setInterval with a user-configurable interval, and a MutationObserver watches for page updates that may reflect new continue watching items. All settings are persisted using GM_setValue.

THE PANEL

The panel is fully draggable by its header and remembers its position on the page across sessions. It can be collapsed to a small bubble using the minimize button, then restored by clicking the bubble. The panel resizes automatically to fit its content and can be closed with the Escape key or by clicking the close button. The panel's position and state persist globally, so it returns to the same location on subsequent visits.

PLEASE NOTE

Requires the free BotGentz extension to run. AMC Plus may update its site structure, which could affect the script's ability to detect continue watching data — updates will be released as needed. All continue watching data is stored locally in your browser and is never transmitted externally. This tool is for informational purposes only and does not replace official AMC Plus functionality. The script does not modify your AMC Plus account or viewing history. The script reads the continue watching list displayed on the page for convenience and does not access any data beyond what is visibly presented.
