Bioskop is a Chrome browser extension that shows which movies are currently playing in Indonesian cinemas, right from the browser toolbar. It lists theaters, screen formats such as IMAX, Premiere, 4DX, and Dolby, ticket prices, and today's showtimes, with a highlighted card at the top for whatever is showing in IMAX right now. Showtimes that already started are grayed out, and ones starting within the next 75 minutes are highlighted so you can catch a show that is about to begin. The extension comes set up for two cities, Bandung and Jakarta, but the README explains exactly how to change it to any other city by editing a couple of small code files, since the movie data source covers many Indonesian cities beyond those two defaults. Movie and showtime information is pulled from a third-party website called jadwalnonton.com, which itself gathers listings from several cinema chains, and no account or API key is needed to use it. The extension checks for updated schedules every six hours or whenever the day changes, and stores results locally so repeated opens are instant after the first scan. Behind the scenes, a background script fetches the relevant web pages and reads the movie and showtime information out of the raw page text, since the newer style of Chrome extension it uses cannot parse HTML directly. Data appears in the extension's popup progressively, showing the movie list right away while showtimes continue loading in. The author notes a technical detail about this newer extension format: a single web request with no time limit can cause the whole background process to be shut down by Chrome, so every request in this project has a timeout built in. The README is upfront that seat availability is not shown, since cinema chains keep that information behind login protected booking systems, and that the extension is not affiliated with jadwalnonton.com or any cinema chain, and may break if that website changes its page layout. The project is released under the MIT license, which allows free use, modification, and commercial use as long as the license and copyright notice are kept.
