They would never do it, but all I want is some sort of common API thing that I can plug into a system like Kodi that would let me browse and search the libraries of any service I'm subscribed to and then let me launch directly into an episode or movie from there. Why do I have to have a billion different apps, some of which don't work correctly or even have remote friendly UIs? (Hidive for example has fast forward and rewind buttons. Other services do that thing where they show frames of things that happened before/after the current spot and it's easier to navigate to where you want.) Not to mention if I want to watch something but I can't remember which service it was on. It'd be great if I could just search for it and then go. Or see recently played things across services.
