Watching TV with Miro Player, BitTorrent and RSS

Multimedia Player Democracy (has changed its name to Miro ) is an impressive application of Internet TV Open Source that lets you subscribe to RSS feeds from anywhere on the web. The application already comes with some default channels that allow you to hundreds of video RSS feed of del.icio.us , Videobomb and Telemusicvison , but with a slight modification, with this application you will no longer watch TV as before.

These RSS feeds are not yet working with Democracy : these feeds simply link to bittorrent file. But with a little help from the service SmartCast in Feedburner , RSS feeds can be connected in Democracy , effectively creating a PVR (Personal Video Recorder).

After the technical details we will see the simple step by step procedure:

How to subscribe to receive TV programs using the Democracy Player and Bittorrent and RSS?

1. Download the Democracy Player
2. Find a TV in TVRss
3. Click with the right button of your mouse you RSS / XML icon and select "copy link address"
4. Go to Feedburner and paste the URL into the text field on the home page, select the option that says: "I am a Podcaster!", and click next . (If you have an account with Feedburnes is when you have one)
5. Click " Next "to activate the feed.

I think this is the future of video distribution, and technologies like RSS Bittorent that perfectly complement each other, Bittorrent downloads are faster than with other technologies and is excellent for large files. By using RSS you are notified that there are new programs that quickly multiply Bittorrent making faster downloads for each user. Player Democracy technical combines all these elements into a pleasant and very good GUI management tools videos. The result is simply spectacular.

Now all that's left is to find your favorite ...

Note: The player Democracy renamed the funcionaldad is the same but now called Miro Player .
