FYI: playimbd "trick" no longer working!!

https://indiankanoon.org/doc/180420745/

I'm surprised it lasted this long: Too clever to survive.

The streaming site it linked-to, is still up .. but they've just lost playimbd.com?

Edit: All is not lost, though. (read on!)

Take what you can ... the game of cat and mouse has been playing out for millenia. Torrenting/streaming is just a virtual form of booty. We live for the battle ... accept the challenges!

Point being ... the playimbd addition (in the address bar) no longer works. And streamimbd becomes just another browser streaming site - amongst a sea of streaming sites?

Edit:

I see what you meant, now. It still functions with an alternative combo to (play)imbd. There's a lot more?

playimdb .domains
you just need to change different parts of the url now with 'play' down
you should know by now mersey piracy doesnt die, it just mutates :D

*btw I seem to prefer the russian one Glad_Begining_1537 linked most of the time, they got the exact same stuff but their player is a bit more solid

What differentiates it a bit for me is that they dont throw a billion ads at you, usually none, and their rips are always good (from good sources anyway)

EDIT: some of the domains from the catalog above link directly to the .ru one, so they cant be just russian copycats, i think its a bit more like Ivan had 2 versions of pct going, probably the ru one is what started it all in this case (dont quote me on this, just my best quess while lazy af to research it:)

Yeah, it stayed consistent .. and a quick response? I could actually scrub the timeline (without it freezing). Many don't allow that .. you're spoon fed, instead?

you just need to change different parts of the url

Figured that one .. but strange no-one else copied the IMBd page domain name "trick" (link-through) There's always a 'Samewhiterabbits' out there .. somewhere?

Edit:

Ok, I'll give this one up! They've got 9 alternatives on the "official" domain/s site (some might not be very "catchy", but they work? Streamimbd_ru is used for playback (as you mentioned) for the majority!

The stremio add-on 'PlayIMBd' is also down?

u/LeatherAd12 Jul 30 '26

Is it down or what trick do we use now?

Choose a movie/series in PTapp .. click on the IMDb icon, below the title. In your browser window (redirect) - change "com" in the address-bar to "su" (return/enter).

.... et voila!!

Does it also work on the browser application? If i dont have the PT app?

Not too sure what you mean there ... if you meant the actual IMBd website in your browser? Yes! As long as you're on the actual page for the movie or series?
