I noticed my Democracy (video podcast viewer) feed wasn't updating, so I deleted it and readed it through the channel guide. It informs me that its of an incompatable format now and just give me a big list of files "Xvid large, Xvid small, WMV Large"... etc Is this going to be fixed some time soon, because I love the show, but hate how itunes handles video podcasts and much prefer democracy. Never had trouble with it before

I too use democracy player, because I don't use Windows. I also noticed with the site update that there are no XML links either. Is this a sign that Rev3 wants me to use a proprietary OS and application? I hope not. I would pay for Diggnation, but I would NOT pay for windows. Any Rev3 Staff care to give us an RSS feed for Diggnation and other Rev3 vidcasts? It would be much appreciated. Just a simple mpeg4 would be great, I'm not asking for an open codec link, I'd even take WMV sans DRM and licence.

Jay mentioned yesterday that they're working on adding/fixing the whole RSS issue.

Same Democracy player issue here.

I would use the Torrent option in Democracy if Digg would put up a channel.

I keep seeing this and immediately thinking of another sort of democracy, to which I would say that it's not a perfect system, but better than some alternatives. :cool:

But, yes, these days there is definitely a problem with democracy (http://blackboxvoting.org/).

If this isn't fixed quickly here I'm going to just write a script to convert the current feed, I had to do that for another video podcast I watch... It was a pain.:mad:

I just tried the newly posted feeds with Democracy v 9.0.2, still no luck. Getting the mega feed with all the various formats and no descriptions. I like democracy as a downloader. If this doesn't get fixed does anyone else have any recommendations for a replacement program?

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for lunch, liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote. ;-p
