This is a great idea. Simple yet effective. However, why did you choose not to source the trailers from, say, IMDB or Rottentomatoes but instead pull from youtube?

YouTube has a better player interface, is more likely to contain obscure content (e.g., from old movies, or relatively unknown TV series), and had a super low barrier to entry, so I went with that.
I remembered poking at IMDB awhile back and that there wasn't an API, but I just found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1966503/does-imdb-provide.... It seems that endpoint will give me the IMDB movie ID, which you need to show the trailer, so I may end up switching to this.
