Democracy Player

[Project]

Anybody seen this? I think its cool...

Looks like a better way of managing video feeds than what iTunes currently gives. Its open source and is available on Windows and Mac, with Linux support to follow shortly. I personally think this kind of thing will be the future of TV

There's an opportunity to build a new, open mass medium of online television. We're developing the Democracy internet TV platform so that watching internet video channels will be as easy as watching TV and broadcasting a channel will be open to everyone. Unlike traditional TV, everyone will have a voice.

You've probably watched hundreds of tiny videos on websites -- it's tedious. Democracy Player makes video on the internet less frustrating and more enjoyable. You can subscribe to channels of internet video, download videos, and watch them fullscreen, one after the other, all in one application. Internet video becomes internet TV. It's free and open for everyone to watch and broadcast.

Auto-Download
Set your favorite channels to Auto-Download new videos as soon as they are available. You'll always have something new to watch.
RSS is everywhere
Democracy can subscribe to any video RSS feed (video podcasts). Look for 'Subscribe' buttons on your favorite web sites.
Seamless Bittorrent
Democracy seamlessly integrates Bittorrent and doesn't leech.
Fullscreen
Lean back and watch fullscreen.
New Items
A blue circle next to a channel means new videos are available for download. Green circles mean new videos are ready to watch.
Manage Videos
My Collection lists all the videos you've downloaded and can be quickly searched.

The bit torrent support is something i've been wanting in iTunes for a while now... it would definitely ease up the bandwidth requirements for hosting the video store, and possibly enable them to offer higher bit rate videos.

The Mac version has the unified platinum look a la iTunes
