Democracy Player 0.9.5.1 update fixes important bug
A bug fix release for Democracy Player has just been posted that corrects some startup problems that a few Mac users have encountered since the 0.9.5 update. Democracy 0.9.5.1 resolves the issues originally caused by a conflict between versions of py2app and some input managers like Growl and a Camino extension. The team has upgraded to the latest py2app and all issues should now be resolved, so users can once again video channel surf to their heart's content. Recommended update.

Are you kidding? This is borrowed almost word by word from the original post over at the Democracy blog. I wish you had just block quoted it or adding something worthwhile to the text. Shame.
We’ve just posted a bug fix release for Democracy Player. The most important fix should solve the startup problems that some Mac users have had. The problem was caused by a conflict between versions py2app (which turns our python code into a Mac .app) and some common input managers like Growl and a Camino extension. We’ve upgraded to the latest py2app and it should be fixed. If you still cannot startup on Mac even with this version, please let me know.

The only version I could find to download had French install instructions and dialog boxes. French language dialog prompts and error messages made very difficult to explore functionality, especially so for a newbie to the area of Net TV, YouTube, etc., even for an experienced user as myslf.
Would like to see more documentation. I need to study how these technologes work.
That said, program interface was easy enough to navigate, even in French. I look forward to version 1.0 and 2.0. This is a beta version to a nascent technology, which is only going to explod.
