Democracy Player - Killer Features!

Interesting post by Nicholas Reville on some trends he is noticing when comparing Mac downloads to PC downloads.
I did a screencast on a pre-release version of DP (0.9) which the DP guys point to from their site. Some of the search features for the MAc were not implemented at the time.
I thought I'd checkout the latest version to see what's new (0.9.2)
The first thing I noticed was that it prompts you to install a list of 3rd party plugins to open up support for some of the non quicktime codecs found all over the net. Installed fine.
ScreenCastsOnline is still one of the featured feeds on a clean install - thanks guys! The HD version of RocketBoom is also included - more HD content please!
Checked out the search page. Entries now for YouTube, yahoo Video, Google Video, Blogdigger, Revver and Daily Motion. Search worked fine on all services (except BlogDigger). The killer though was every video I downloaded and played from all services just worked on the Mac in Democracy Player.
Wow!
Not only that, but you can create a search on any of the services and then convert that search into a Feed. So you can say search for OSX on Revver and then save as a Feed then whenever anyone posts an OSX related clip on Revver, you'll get it downloaded automatically.
Nice one guys!
Update - Try searching for ScreenCastsOnline in Revver - That's given me an idea!

Just out of curiosity, what wasn't working with the Blogdigger search; just want to cover all our bases. Thanks for your time!
Just didn't get any results returned?
Don't know if I missed a post about this, but Don's SCO show was highlighted in the USA edition of MacAddict, this month (JAN 2007) on page 16, Shareware of the Month (Democracy Player) where SCO is on most of the screen shots. I hope many people take note!
Thanks for pointing that out! I had no idea :-)
Be nice to see a scan of ;-)
