Ask Slashdot: Movie/Video Search Aggregation?

raolin writes "I have been running without television service for the last few years, relying instead on Netflix Streaming, Hulu Plus, Amazon, and my personal video library. I have the latter indexed and easily searchable, but I have not managed to find a good aggregator for the streaming services that I use, so when I have friends over and the question 'Can we see X?' is asked, I have to search three streaming sources, which is kind of a drag. I know Netflix has a search API that I could work with, and it seems at least possible that Hulu and Amazon do as well, but before I try to build something myself I thought I'd ask the community. Any thoughts?"

    Yeah, you're right. People are so dumb they can't even stay on-topic. Every discussion, no matter how trivial, can be hijacked to serve a poster's idea of what's wrong with everyone else but me.
