true ondemand tv - Democracy Player
I stumbled upon this earlier in the week, and it’s absolutely amazing. Even if something like this is monetized, there is no way that traditional broadcast television could compete with the choice and quality that Internet distribution offers. Democracy Player is a wonderful piece of cross-platform software. More from lifehacker:
Ever since we first posted about the Democracy Player, I’ve been excited to get a better handle on it what it has to offer. For example, you probably already know that Democracy offers desktop integration of free internet television, making it the best tool out there for subscribing to “vidcasts,” but what a lot of people don’t know about
Democracy is that it has built-in support for BitTorrent downloads. That means with the right RSS feeds, you can subscribe to and download television shows over BitTorrent just as easily as you would manually subscribe to a podcast in iTunes. This week I’m going to show you how simple it is to download all of the latest episodes of your favorite television shows shortly after they air via BitTorrent and RSS using the cross platform, open source Democracy player
Keep in mind that Democracy works like any podcast aggregator, meaning that you have to have the right kind of RSS feed for it this to work (specifically a feed that includes the enclosure tag). Luckily, there is such a feed from a wonderful BitTorrent site called tvRSS.
It even downloads youtube/google video/etc… videos! If only it could import youtube “favorites” lists.
