HDEncode is a great source for releases of all kinds, movies, TV shows, TV packs. The site has filters, but I kept missing specific options. I mainly use it to track down specific TV show releases and wanted to combine things like release group, Dolby Vision and resolution in one go. Doing that manually meant scrolling through pages every single time. This script adds the extra filter options I was missing, directly above the release grid.
Filtering
- Dolby Vision & HDR: quickly isolate releases by HDR format
- Resolution: filter by 2160p, 1080p or 720p
- Content type: separate Movies, TV Shows and TV Packs
- Minimum IMDb rating
- File size: set a minimum and/or maximum in GB
- Release group: dynamic dropdown populated from the current results, updates as you filter
Search & navigation
- Free-text search across all visible release info
- Multi-page loading: load 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 or all pages in one click, with a live progress bar
Quality of life
- Persistent filters: settings are saved to your browser's local storage and restored when you return. No data is sent anywhere.
- No results feedback: clear message when your filters return zero results, with your selection preserved
- Active filter highlights: a subtle cyan border shows which filters are currently active
- Quick links & NFO: click the "🔗 Links" button on any release to instantly fetch and display the download links without leaving the page. Hosters are shown with a colored indicator and their full name. Copy individual links or all links for a hoster at once with a single click. Click "📄 NFO" to view the full media info (codec, resolution, audio, subtitles) in a scrollable panel — no extra network request, the info is loaded alongside the links.
Want only 2160p Dolby Vision movies with an IMDb rating of 8 or higher and under 50 GB? Check Dolby Vision, select 2160p, set Min rating to 8, Max GB to 50 and select Movies. Hit Load pages to pull in more results and let the filters do the rest.
Requires a userscript manager. The following are supported:
| Manager | Browser |
|---|---|
| Tampermonkey | Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Opera, Brave |
| Violentmonkey | Firefox, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi |
| Greasemonkey | Firefox |
| Other Greasemonkey-compatible managers | varies |
Tampermonkey is recommended and the most widely tested. Note that Violentmonkey is currently not supported on Chrome due to a technical limitation — Brave is a good alternative for Chromium users who prefer Violentmonkey.
The script is fully open-source so you can read every line of code before installing.

Tested on Chrome and Firefox with Tampermonkey. Should work with any Greasemonkey-compatible extension.
Works on all HDEncode pages including category pages, search results and tag pages. Supports all three official domains: hdencode.org, hdencode.com and hdencode.ro.
Filter settings are saved to your browser's local storage and restored automatically when you return. Nothing is sent anywhere.
By default, all filters are saved between visits. You can customise this via the ⚙️ settings panel in the filter bar — uncheck any filter to stop saving it.
Saved by default:
- Dolby Vision, HDR, resolution, content type
- Minimum IMDb rating, file size limits
- Release group selection
- Search text
Not saved by default (can be enabled via ⚙️):
- Page limit — unchecked by default, so it always resets to "All pages" on a new visit
Nothing is uploaded or shared.
Bug reports and suggestions are welcome via GitHub Issues. I'm not a developer myself, this script was built with AI assistance, so I can't promise a quick turnaround but I read everything and will do my best.

- Added ⚙️ settings panel via a gear icon in the filter bar header
- Users can now choose per filter whether it is saved between visits — all filters are saved by default
- Settings preferences are stored separately from filter values and are never cleared by the Clear button
- Added "📄 NFO" button next to the existing "🔗 Links" button on every release
- Clicking it shows the full media info (codec, resolution, audio tracks, subtitles) in a scrollable panel inline

- Both panels are independent: open one, the other, or both at the same time
- Added stop button to cancel page loading mid-way
- Release group dropdown now picks the most common capitalisation when the same group appears with different casing (e.g. ETHEL vs Ethel)
- Added a subtle hint on pages without a category context, suggesting to search or browse a category first before loading pages
- Download link panel now shows hoster names in full (e.g. "rg" → "Rapidgator") with a colored indicator per hoster
- Added "Copy all" button per hoster to copy all parts in one click, useful for multi-part releases
- Copy individual links still available per link
- Fixed release group dropdown showing incorrect values after the quick links button was added
- Added support for hdencode.com and hdencode.ro in addition to hdencode.org
- Quick links: click "🔗 Links" on any release to fetch and display download links directly on the page, no need to navigate to the detail page
- Copy any link to clipboard with a single click
