Linux Version of Democracy Player Released 111
clahey writes "The Participatory Culture Foundation just released Democracy Player 0.8.2 for Linux, the first beta version for Linux. It's a free software internet TV client with built in support for both RSS video podcasts and downloading using BitTorrent. It can even scrape web pages for videos. It's an excellent way to find great internet video. For example, once you've installed Democracy, make sure to check out The Postal Service - Such Great Heights on the Telemusicvision channel."
Unfortunately, it's still buggy as hell... (Score:5, Informative)

It is also similar to Songbird [songbirdnest.com], the Itunes-like application that focuses primarily on enabling users to download DRM-free music from independent artists. Songbird was also covered [slashdot.org] recently.

It crashes right after playing a video tho

I believe the plans are to make the channel guide settable through the GUI. If nothing else, I think a gconf key is in order.
You can also submit your channels to the main channel guide. I'm not sure what our policy is on things like porn, but I'm positive that you definitely won't be filtered out for political reasons.
And one of the things to note is that the Participatory Culture Foundation is a non-profit. There's no profit margin for us to sell out to.
