justwatch doesn't do anything but aggregate affiliate links.
- flashman 9y ago
  That's like saying Google "just" aggregates indexed websites. I use justwatch on a weekly basis to find out whether a movie is on any of the services I use (instead of checking all three of them individually), and browse new releases on each service.

    Sure. But OP was responding to the below excerpt. At least from the way I've interpreted the request, they are looking for a single interface to watch their content from multiple providers. justwatch does not do this. px1999 1 hour ago [-] Long term, we'll probably wind up with a couple of major marketplaces that provide a UI that ties together content bundles that you've purchased from different distributors (who will actually serve up their catalogs).

      I just got paid $6784 working off my laptop this month. And if you think that's cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $9k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do, ====http://www.financemedianews.com/?682 http://www.financemedianews.com/?682

  Well, not really. Most content providers don't even have affiliate programms.

Has anyone had luck with canistream.it? I've never once had success with it and tried at least half a dozen times over months. Just now I did a search for "all the presidents men." Top hit was "All The King's Men" but the right movie did show up second. It says "Not available for streaming, rental, or purchase. Click below to set reminders." So I hopped around and did a few quick searches: streaming on Netflix (i think) https://www.netflix.com/watch/243547 https://www.netflix.com/watch/243547 streaming on amazon (with Cinemax) http://a.co/605SHmD http://a.co/605SHmD for rent or sale on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/all-the-presidents-men/id532163464 https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/all-the-presidents-men/id5... for rent or sale on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAGNFnI7mZ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAGNFnI7mZ4 The page also says it's not for sale on DVD or Blu-Ray (showing an Amazon logo): http://a.co/aoa6bG8 http://a.co/aoa6bG8

  Agreed. I've probably tried using that site about 5-6 times over the past year, and it has never told me anything was streaming. Never. And yes, about half of the things I checked were indeed streaming upon further review.

  https://gowatchit.com/watch/movies/all-the-presidents-men-44968 https://gowatchit.com/watch/movies/all-the-presidents-men-44... Click "Watch the Movie" and it will show you several ways you can watch it (including all you've listed above and more).

    canistream.it seems to have better SEO because I've never heard of gowatchit.com and I swear I've googled some variant of "where movies are streaming" multiple times. Roku and AppleTV seem to do a decent job of aggregating this information, but that UI isn't always handy and I'm usually more flexible about my viewing options than just those devices.

Here's a streaming search I like, that lets you sort by RT/Metacritic score. https://www.cinesift.com/ https://www.cinesift.com/ by reddit user yombato (not sure of their hn alias)
