Zinc.tv Search not finding Hulu shows
Thu, 2010-06-10 16:58
I just came across Zinc.tv from a recommendation from another forum for finding kids content easily. I am getting ready to put together an HTPC and doing my homework beforehand to sell it to the family.
I really like the clean interface and setup of Zinc.tv(especially compared to Boxee). Best out ther and I have been rersearching quite a few - Biggest issue seems to be lack of kids content and ways to filter such.
But I noticed that a number of kids shows on Hulu do not come up on searches in Zinc.tv. I saw this same problem over at Boxee, which is what caused me to look elsewhere. Hulu has them but they actually link to the original sites(such as Disney.com and Nickelodeon)
For example :
Sonny with a Chance - Disney
Victorious - Nickelodeon show(Not sure why this isn't on the Nick Zinc.tv channel directly)
Is there no way to get Hulu material(linked to elsewhere) shows to be included on Zinc searches.
Lastly, is there any way to get Disney content through Zinc (I am assuming it is a mickey mouse restriction of some sort - Disney seems to alway do their own thing).

If you go into the hulu section and click the search Icon (magnifying glass on left column), we will include the hulu search engine for the query string. On the results page there are tabs on the top which allow you to resubmit the query string to different search engines. You can then add the results page to your favorites.
You should consider getting Netflix. They have full seasons of most of the Disney shows.
A quick look at my queue:
Sonny With a Chance Season 1 & 2
The Suite Life on Deck Season 1 & 2
The Suite Life of Zack & Cody Season 1, 2, & 3
Wizards of Waverly Place Season 1, 2, & 3
etc. etc..
