- mrfusion 11y agoIs there a way to search the streaming inventory of Netflix, Amazon and Hulu online from one interface. Right now I have to go into each app and do a search.
- manaskarekar 11y agohttp://www.canistream.it/ http://www.canistream.it/ Edit: In hindsight, IIRC Netflix shut down it's public API, so I don't know what claims these services are making as far as Netflix's collection's accuracy goes.
- mrfusion 11y agoHmmm I just tested it with Farscape and it didn't correctly list it in Netflix.
- sp332 11y agoThat site is a great idea, but it has never been accurate for me.
- mcpherrinm 11y agoNetflix still have a private API. When they shut down the public one, Canistream.it was on the list of services that were still going to have access.
- endymi0n 11y agoHi there - sure! Shameless self-plug: https://www.justwatch.com https://www.justwatch.com (Disclaimer: I'm CTO there) - unfortunately canistream.it is quickly falling into disrepair, so we decided to provide a proper alternative.
- rhino369 11y agoCool site. Any chance of making a roku/Apple tv/plex app version. I'm sure the technical and legal hurdles are much higher on those devices.
- chris_wot 11y agoSo basically, as an Australian, the only real one to use is Apple TV who hold pretty much every TV series even slightly worthwhile watching.
- bmelton 11y agoRoku (and I believe the newest [or perhaps next] Apple TV) provide a unified search interface where, from the main screen, it will search all the services and provide you a link to whichever (or however many) services provide the searched-for title.

- sean-duffy 11y agoWow, I had no idea the Holy See had its own Netflix region.
- Freak_NL 11y agoUNOGS probably uses a list of all countries in the world and maps that to the Netflix catalogue. I doubt the Pontifex's Netflix catalogue differs from that of Italy.
- desdiv 11y ago>I doubt the Pontifex's Netflix catalogue differs from that of Italy. Holy See: 1083 videos, 892 movies, 191 series Italy: 1216 videos, 1012 movies, 204 series
- sean-duffy 11y agoYeah and if you look here[1] it's also one of the listed regions. [1] https://help.netflix.com/en/node/14164 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/14164
- Freak_NL 11y agoWow, who would have thought it?
- mnx 11y agoPoland - 800 Videos. USA - 6000. And yet it's more expensive here. And that's without adjusting for typical income. I was excited when they launched, but it looks like I'm not going beyond the trial. And yet services like Spotify manage to both adjust prices, and offer comparable levels of service. I hope Netflix gets better.
- nekopa 11y agoSame here (Czech Republic). I have been on a kick to change my pirating ways, and go legit for most things, but this shows why it's hard at times. About 1/8th of the content for more money... Shame there are no open source alternatives for movies. (Most of my switching from piracy has been to open source software - Libre office, gimp, Inkscape, krita, audacity, Scribus, darktable etc. As I don't really play any games anymore it's been quite nice being on Linux full time instead of just through VMs)
- trunnell 11y agoNetflix engineer here. To the commenters above who are disappointed with their country's catalog and plan to cancel their trial: sorry to see you go, but we did the best we could for launch. We make sure canceling is easy, just go to the account page on the website. As you can imagine, buying the rights for titles in a new region is expensive, so we start off with a giant loss on the balance sheet. But as we get more members we'll be able to buy more content in each country. Here's a list of a few dozen big-name titles that are coming later this year [1]. So we hope you come back soon. About the patchwork availability - that's not what we want, it's just what was for sale. In the recent past the only buyers of TV shows were just buying for their own country - like country-wide TV networks. For each show, that left a random set of regions where the license was still available. We're trying to get global licenses for everything, so it'll gradually become consistent country-by-country.

(sorry for the PR link but it's the most complete list of 2016 releases I could find)

- dustinmoorenet 11y agoThere is a bug that lets you kinda of load the description for a movie that you don't have permission to see. This is 'The Dark Knight' http://www.netflix.com/title/70079583 http://www.netflix.com/title/70079583 which we (in the US) don't have available to us but loads a mostly empty page. But if you go to the 'More like this' tab, it suggests movies for you.
- dustinmoorenet 11y agoAnd here is 'The Shawshank Redemption' http://www.netflix.com/title/70005379 http://www.netflix.com/title/70005379 that loads a lot more, does not recommend any movies and has no watch movie button. Permissions are hard to get right. I guess the developers assumed no one would navigate to movies they don't have permission to watch.
- executive 11y agosite is maxing out my CPU.
- Cyph0n 11y agoFirst observation: why do countries like Tonga and Suriname have 2000+ movies available? Second: why do all the Arab countries have a similar movie count - around 460?
- tehwebguy 11y agoMovie rights for distribution in Tonga might just be cheap. Maybe Netflix only has licensed to 640 movies with no sex, gay people or drug use? Or maybe movie studios don't want to license their content that might make them look sleazy to Arab nations? Just guessing. Or maybe it's very lucrative to sell exclusive movie licenses directly to the Emirates? Edit: Looks like the current Tarantino movie is playing in Dubai, so probably not a content thing.
- Cyph0n 11y agoContent is not an issue in the UAE actually. In cinemas nudity and sex scenes are cut, but DVDs etc. are sold as is. Could it be that a single company holds all distribution rights for the Arab World?
- stickac 11y agoCreated a visualization of the country data: http://gk2.sk/netflix-content-by-country/ http://gk2.sk/netflix-content-by-country/
- Freak_NL 11y agoNice. Depressing as well if you look at the catalogue sizes.
- emergie 11y agoFrench Guiana 4,5k vids France 1,9k vids the funny thing is that formally Guyane is an overseas department of France
- robryan 11y agoProbably because so much content has a specific deal for France but never did a deal for somewhere like Guiana. So I guess to get the best content you are better off in a bad market for top international TV and movies.
- jfoster 11y agoThis line of thinking seems to make logical sense, but I can see a counterexample. The Aland Islands (Finnish region) have ~280 videos, whereas Finland has ~2000 videos. Would love to know what the reason behind this is.
- nikanj 11y agoIn Canada, Netflix is like the bargain dvd bin at Walmart. Never the thing you're looking for, but an endless supply of me-too copies of hit movies.
- rhino369 11y agoIn America the movies are the same. The tv selection is better. But it gets worse every month. Original content is worth 10 a month to me. But I wonder if all 75 million subscribers feel the same.
- lucaspiller 11y agoI actually don't care about the TV part or 'Originals'. I just want something where I can watch the latest movies without having to go and buy a plastic disc. Rental stores (other than having to physically go in) were a good solution to this, until Netflix et al killed them. Now if you want this, the best option just seems to pirate movies. Popcorn Time and even streaming sites (like the Polish one mentioned in another comment) provide a comparable experience to Netflix, but with the content people actually want to watch. With all the licensing 'deals' and restrictions it seems that the studios have just shot themselves in the foot...
- ajmurmann 11y agoYou can rent then on Amazon, iTunes or Google play
- chris_wot 11y agoIf you are an Australian, only at extortionate prices. We pay at least three times as much as Americans, and I can assure you whilst the Australian exchange rate doesn't have the purchasing dollar that the U.S. dollar does, we are only about 1.43 Australian dollars to every 1 US dollar. At one point we were actually at about 1.2 US dollars for every 1 Australian dollar (during the GFC) and we were still charged 2-3 times the amount it cost in the U.S.! And even then the exchange rate was blamed - at which point every single Australian realized we were being utterly screwed. Now a majority of Australians are bypassing geoblocks, and will continue to do so.
- ilvnvtoomuch 11y agoI expect better content. The India videos seem incorrect. Lots of East Asian films and Indo-American stuff...why?
- antimora 11y agoI just tried https://tvunblock.com/ https://tvunblock.com/ DNS services for free to unblock US Netflix and it seems to work.
- pakled_engineer 11y agoYou have to get a new address every 30 days from their website or pay $1/mth https://tvunblock.com/donate/ https://tvunblock.com/donate/
- scarboy 11y agoThe DNS don't change. It looks like you need to visit once every thirty days to stay on a whitelist.

- chrisblackwell 11y agoDoes anyone know how you get this data from Netflix? I thought Netflix shut down their API? I'm particularly interested in what movies are expiring shortly, so I know what to watch first!
- GigabyteCoin 11y agoIs it safe to say that Netflix USA has every title available via Netflix, and that every other region only has portions thereof?
- acchow 11y agoNo. There's actually a browser extension called Hola that allows you switch your Netflix country to watch from other libraries. And you can lookup which country has your movie at https://flixsearch.io/ https://flixsearch.io/ (formerly netflixaroundtheworld.com) For example, Inception is not available in the US but is in many countries.
- fernandogrd 11y agoJust a quick reminder that hola may not be the best vpn due to security concerns: http://blog.vectranetworks.com/blog/technical-analysis-of-hola http://blog.vectranetworks.com/blog/technical-analysis-of-ho...
- chris_wot 11y agoI would strongly recommend that Hola be avoided at all costs. Hola sell off your bandwidth for all sorts of nefarious purposes: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2928340/ultra-popular-hola-vpn-extension-sold-your-bandwidth-for-use-in-a-botnet-attack.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/2928340/ultra-popular-hola-vp...

- mcpherrinm 11y agoI'm a Canadian living in the states, and there's some content I notice missing here. I think Community was the most recent thing I couldn't get on Netflix USA, but could in Canada.

- ghshephard 11y agoSingapore basically sucks: 672 videos, 494 movies, 178 series Compare to United States: 5677 videos, 4565 movies, 1112 series You get about 1/10th of the content of the (already kind of lame) Netflix streaming Library. In comparison, Netflix DVD has about 93,000 titles available. Compare this to a good video rental store, which stocks around 20,000-30,000 titles (or a top end video store, like Scarecrow, which has over 120,000 titles in stock). It will be interesting to see when the Various VPN providers start getting blacklisted - so far I've had zero difficulty with Netflix, HBO Now - Though, BBC iplayer has successfully blacklisted me, so clearly it's possible to track down the VPN providers IP address ranges.
- mixmastamyk 11y agoYeah we noticed that we had access to a several Pixar movies and other interesting shows when in Brazil. I see that the newer Avengers movie is available in Canada also, sucks.
- chris_wot 11y agoWhat the hell? Aruba has more videos and series than Australia? But it's even more telling that the United States of America has so many videos. It's not wonder that so many Australians bypass geoblocking. And will continue to do so, no matter how difficult Netflix makes it for them.
- yummybear 11y agoDoes Antarctica have "The Thing"?
