Is there a way to globally search for content?

As more types of video become available, my biggest bugaboo with the Apple TV is the lack of a global search for a movie or TV show title or actor. I now look on Netflix, then look on Hulu, then look at YouTube, then look in iTunes store every time I have an idea for something I wish to watch enters my head.
Other than a jailbreak, is there some way to do this that I am not getting? Is anyone else interested in this feature? Friends running home servers like Plex always bring this up as one of the reasons to use their solution.

Jailbreaking will not help you with that. It is a matter of what vendors are dealing wheat suppliers, they aggrements they have in place, and the content they can get, and where (geographically) they can provide it.  Other than iTunes, Apple has no control over that (and limited control even then).
I've been using an app called CanIStream.It for a while. Not always 100% accuratre, but has helped to find some content. I think they have a corresponding website, but not sure.

  • HT203167 I have just installed itunes on my new comp. and searched for mp3 on the hard drive but it has not found all of them. There are 2000+ missing, is there any way to re-search the hard drive?

    Is there any way to re-search my hard drive for mp3s which have been missed on the initial search?

    If you've just moved the drive between systems then see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows just in case that reveals the missing files. Apply to a single album folder first as a test. Otherwise, if you've not done too much with the drive since things went missing, an undelete tool might recover the lost media. FreeRecover looks promising... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted that looks recoverable. Backup to another drive when you're done.

  • I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my apple id?

    I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my Apple ID?

    Yes if you go to http://store.apple.com/ on the top right under the search it will say "Account" or your first name. You will click or tap that and you will click "check order status" sign in. After you do that in the middle by the order date and number it will say "print invoices" and as long as your item(s) have been ship you will be able to see and print your invoice receipts. you can view items purchased in the last 18 months.

  • Is there any way to limit search hits to only the topics found in the TOC?

    Hi. I'm interested in creating multiple TOCs for a project. Included will be TOCs that only have a subset of the project topics and books. Is there a way to restrict searching to only those topics and books that occur in the TOC?
    Thx.
    -kt

    Hi there
    There are a couple of ways to accomplish this goal.
    The long way around is to select all the topics that are not in the TOC and look at their properties. On the General tab is an option to exclude the topic from any content being found in the search.
    Note that with this method, the topic won't be found even if another topic links to it.
    The other way is to look at the Single Source Layout options. For WebHelp, it will be found by first clicking to expand the Content Categories area, then clicking to select the category. Once you do this, there should be an option to "Exclude Unreferenced Topics from Output".
    Note that using this method, if another topic links to the unwanted topic, it has then been referenced and will still be found via search.
    Hope this helps... Rick

  • IPad 2 Mail: Is there a way to set Rules for folders, similar to Mail in the iMac?

    iPad 2 Mail: Is there a way to set Rules for folders, similar to Mail in the iMac?

    Based on your answer, and the answer to another question (which I didn't see before I asked mine, even tho I searched), I get the impression that iPad Mail is just a different face on web mail, that the messages are only stored on the server, not downloaded and stored on the iPad 2. Is that correct?

  • When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
    I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
    Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
    I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
    Thanks

  • Is there any way to raise alerts for stock outages in inventory

    Is there any way to raise alerts for stock outages in inventory

    You can use the Check Material Shortages attribute in the Org items under Inventory tab. Oracle will trigger shortage alert notifucations for the checked items. This works in the conjuntion with the Shortage Parameters defined at the Inv ORg level (these parameters are nothing but what business wants to consider as a shortage in WIP and OM). You can notify the cmp planner/buyer , assy planner/job creator..

  • HT1473 I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library?  Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

    I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library?  Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

    do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
    It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
    Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
    It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
    You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it  --  and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

    Although clunky as you say, this sounds like a reasonably efficient way to accomplish what I was seeking.
    Address Book has no global find/replace. Bob Grove suggested one possible workaround; however, a grep-capable text editor (eg, TextWrangler) is better than TextEdit if complex strings are involved.
    An alternative is Bento (which is designed specifically to interact with the AB database), but it's not free.

  • Is there a way to have TTS for multiple click boxes on same slide?

    Hi all,
    Using v.7 and Win 7 here. Have a project where I am using Paul's Text-to-speech TTS voice. So far so good. I need to build an interactive slide with mulitple click boxes so the learner can gauge where they are at in the projects progress. Is there a way to use TTS for these mulitple click boxes on the same slide? I see that you can import audio as an MP3 or .wav file but don't know how you would generate the TTS and save it seperately so it could be imported.
    Thanks for the help

    Just generate the TTS on a separate slide and then assign the audio file created in the LIbrary to whatever object you need.
