The video aggregator is a GUI application that gets show and movie information/links from the sources YouTube, Hulu, and Amazon. It simply links through to the source site and doesn't handle any streaming or video playback.
The video aggregator is powered by Mono, an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework, and GTK#, a Graphical User Interface Toolkit for mono and .Net. These make the video aggregator cross-platform.
It uses the GuideBox API to get show information/links.
The video aggregator requires Mono and GTK# to run. We used Xamarin Studio to compile, though MonoDevelop works as well. All the information needed to install one of these IDEs is here.
Note that just recently Xamarin Studio was bought by Microsoft and the download page directs you to Visual Studio.
The video aggregator was designed to be easy to use. You simply click on buttons and results and the application will load new results. There is a search function and a back function.
When you click on a source a browser will open at the url of the source
