One thing I like about Netflix is the queue manager. I have a Roku box currently and it's nice that I don't have to manage the queue from within that interface. I simply go online and rearrange as needed.

I would like to see something similar with Boxee. If I could log into the Boxee website and add Hulu TV, Hulu movies, CBS, Comedy Central, YouTube, whatever to my master "watch" queue it would be much better.

It's difficult already to scan through the Hulu movies or TV shows because there are so many. (and my movies aren't alphabetical....). A unified queue, manageable online seems like the logical solution. There should also be an option to tag a file within Boxee to add it to a queue. This should also have the option to manage it online.

That's good, but I'm looking for something a lot less under the hood and a lot more flexible. I don't want to just manage Hulu. I want a one stop shop for all video (or audio for that matter).

If I could manage that queue through the Boxee website it would be ideal, rather than relying on a third party and an RSS feed. How can I easily manipulate the order? How can I add to it from within Boxee? Get my point?

Netflix offers a decent capability to do this, I'd like to see something similar on the Boxee website that spans all sources as a universal queue.
