Great article. As Nicholas pointed out in comment #12, there are a few errors in the background behind the Democracy Player. To hear it the story straight from the source, check out this recent interview with Nicholas. Democracy is my preferred application for subscribing to video content. The torrent integration works great and it's much more specialized for video than other programs like iTunes.

That Mike guy’s a prick……but I guess saying that is a “dupe post” as well :)

Nice guide =)

Just a little something to add here… there are four feeds on tvRSS.net; the EZTV feed (fastest, largest collection of shows, they do HR HDTV shows), the VTV feed (also a great group, they pick up the stuff EZTV don’t do – including The Daily Show and Colbert Report ^^), the combined and the unique feeds. The two latter feeds I’m not sure about, never tried them out. The combined feed would be a good choice, that way all the shows done by the two groups should be on the feed – I’m not sure about this, but there may be duplicates though (of the bigger shows). Another combined feed is BT-Chat’s TV-show feed ( http://www.bt-chat.com/rss.php?mode=category&cat=9 ).

The third option, and this may well be the best (almost completely safe from duplicates, it’s reliable (no site that could go down will affect it…), and you get most shows) – the RSS over IRC option that EZTV gives you. This is a script for mIRC that grabs the torrents posted in #EZTV and adds it to your personal RSS feed. Naturally, this one requires you to stay in the #eztv channel on EFnet, and that may not be practical – but, as I said, it’s definately the most reliable. You can find it at http://thesprawl.se/?main=rss

Some of this info about Democracy Player is not quite right. It is developed by the Participatory Culture Foundation, not the EFF. Broadcast Machine is a separate product for hosting video files on a website, and still exists. Finally, the current version of Democracy Player (0.9.0.2) is much less buggy than the 0.8 versions.

Thanks for the advice. I never noticed the selective RSS feeds, but there they are. You learn something every day.

BTW I thought that the “yawn” was rude, Mike. If you already knew it, why bother reading and posting a reply? To feel superior? Think about it while your mom serves you breakfast tomorrow.

Thanks again, Ernesto.

Best.

Just thought people should know that even TV shows are being watched for DMCA violation. Network TV might not be too big of an issue, but download something shown on a cable channel and you stand a good chance of receiving a cease-and-desist through your ISP.

You forgot to mention Pageflakes in your feedreader list. Maybe you can add it next time.

Cheers and thanks

Never heard of “feed to mail” options before, very interesting.

So if I send myself a torrent tracker for a crappy TV show by accident would it be considered spam?

Nice article E-man…….
