I think the barcode scanning portion is a better implementation for couchpotato

You go to the store, see the dvd/bluray of a movie you want (you purchase it :-), then scan the barcode and it sends it to couchpotato. By the time you get home, it's in your library.

For searching, google should return links from amazon for the movies. Other barcode scan apps do that.

Wow that's pretty fast for a barcode scanner. is that fact? thx
I want one of these

Another way barcodes could be useful is an app that creates a booklet with a summary of each movie, a bit like a video store catalogue. You can browse this at any time or place, even sitting on the throne. When you find a movie you want to watch you scan a barcode in the booklet with the phone app, which starts the movie.

Some people just don't want to sit in front of the screen browsing their collection.

You and I am of same idea.
