Sooo.. a dumbed down UI of justwatch?

A reminder: it's free so whatever you search here is farmed and sold to entertainment companies as popular.

Not a problem per se. Just understand.

Don't let this get buried. As a customer you have a right to know.

"This tv show does not seem to be available for streaming."

no surprise there

Edit: Hussala, found a country that has it and it's only a modest 50€. Off to the high seas we go, ARRR.

Also. If you download the Google TV app on your phone it tell you if something is available on Netflix, HBO, Amazon, Disney+ or on Google Play

super helpful :) the sites I use always seem to mess up Canada and US links so this is great.

Love this! Is there also a way to search for serie and streaming service. And then find the country?

New countries will be added soon. I'm using an API and it was not available when I first developed the website but it seems to be here now. I'll let you know once it's updated!

Which country would you like to see? I'm using an API and when I first developed the website, this was the list of countries that was available. I'm gonna check if new countries are available now.

Maker_MG82 OP t1_ius1goh wrote

Seems really useful and complete :) I just wanted to have a simple interface without all the distraction of other existing websites (cookies banner, login, lists and so on). Your show, your country and the list of results :)

What a strange comment. Of course companies will utilize their own metrics to make a profit. Every company in history does this.

What's currently a topic of contention is when companies build an identity out of you and associate data with you. When they can sell personally identifiable information (PII) -- that's the ethical dilemma of our time.

This is like saying "If you buy nike shoes at footlocker, both nike and footlocker will use this information to mark those shoes as popular!". Like, yeah?

Maker_MG82 OP t1_ius6297 wrote

Regarding streaming info, I'd love to have more data available but the API is just giving us the name of the provider and its logo :).

As for movie/tv show info, I have indeed more data available. What do you think is missing and should be added there?

Or unogs, or one of the myriad of sites already available. Getting a bit tired of the "I made this thing of which dozens already existed" posts.

Maker_MG82 OP t1_ius7kla wrote

Is your country missing? Which one is it?

I rely on a data provider to display the results and those where the countries available when I first launched the website. I will update the list regularly if new countries are added.

If I need to live a specific place to watch specific content, I'll just torrent it.

Media companies need to realize that they need to beat (or at least be somewhat close, which they are a far way from) the convenience of piracy if they want to make a buck.

Even if you have Amazon Prime, that’s no guarantee it’s included in the subscription. It’s very misleading. They list movies that are pay-on-demand alongside the ones that are subscription-only.

Maker_MG82 OP t1_iushu79 wrote

Yes. I'm using the TMDB API which get its streaming data from justwatch. This is a stripped down version of what you could get on the justwatch website: basically they just provide the name of the provider and its logo. But this is all I needed for my use case :)

NakedSnakeEyes t1_iusoc3u wrote

This could be handy. What I see missing is it doesnt list what resolution is available like just watch does.

j035u5 t1_iusq3zb wrote

Good internet speed sure, but it uses no more data. It doesn't download the video twice. If you have a data cap or low speeds, don't stream high definition video, regardless of where it's from.

I'm watching a Netflix doc called Killer Sally right now. I searched for it and it says "Not available anywhere for streaming".

justwatch with extra steps. Kudos on giving them credit for their hard work tho

Maker_MG82 OP t1_iuswbxu wrote

I was not happy with the justwatch website, I find the UI too crowded, I just wanted a simpler interface that even my kids could use when checking if a movie was available. As I'm a web developer, it was a good excuse to build something and I thought I might as well release it just in case someone else would find it useful too.

I threw in Harry Potter for fun, and your site was much faster and somehow more accurate than justwatch.com/ca. Your site said I could watch it at crave, which I can, but justwatch said it's not streaming anywhere. Weird, but kudos. I don't understand all the flack as your site brings value, to some at least.

Yes, if you have a bandwidth cap then don't stream the same video multiple times. That doesn't mean it takes any more data to stream than to download though, it takes the exact same amount of bandwidth either way.

I need to utilise a VPN to access any of the torrent websites because our past government decided to kneel at the altar of the MPAA...

or, you know, I can just download the high quality file during the time of day that my internet is cheaper and then watch it offline as many times as I want. thanks for the suggestion though.

j035u5 t1_iuvh72p wrote

Yup, nothing stopping you. Was just correcting what you said because it was wrong. No one is saying don't download anything, not really sure why you're still talking about it to be honest.
