Democracy Player 0.9.5 now available

For all the video sharers, viewers, and creators alike, Democracy Player version 0.9.5 has been officially released, introducing a host of new improvements and enhancements since the 0.9.2 release back in November of 2006. Here's a brief sampling of some new features:

Simpler, more minimal interface
New 'Share' menu on each item allows user to email a video or post to VideoBomb, del.icio.us, Digg, or Reddit
Video downloads are now stored in folders by channel for better organization
New pause and resume download functions
Improved BitTorrent performance
Drop-down menu feature for auto-download for individual channels
Automatic thumbnail generation on OS X for videos lacking thumbnails

The application is immediately available for download, and the development team still urges users to keep an eye open for any potential bugs that might be lurking about and to fill out a bug report where necessary. The program has really been shaping up nicely since its inception, and this upgrade will be worth the download. For 'Internet TV' surfing, there is no tighter application than Democracy, methinks. Anyway, check out the full list of improvements at the Democracy blog.

Why did the default install set the language as German? Any ideas?

Democracy rocks! I rarely use iTunes for Video Podcasts for a while now, since Democracy has matured. Once they incorporate iPod transfer down the track, I have no use for iTunes other than for music (the likelyhood of any paid video from iTS in Australia is remote at best!).

Democracy really shows up iTS as far as video podcasts go. "Channel Surfing" is much easier. I wished Apple had followed the same pattern as the rest of the OS and kept things separate ie Mail does email, Address Book for addresses etc. I'd rather keep music and video separate (but never going to happen as devices like AppleTV rely on iTunes having everything controlled from one app).
