[Kde-pim] New application: Videocatcher

[Jonas Müller]

Hi all
I have recently committed a new application to playground/pim. It's called 
Videocatcher and is an Internet TV application (like a podcast client but for 
videos). It is still far from done but should be in a usable state.

Currently Videocatcher makes it possible to subscribe to video RSS/ATOM feeds 
and easily download and watch the videos. It works as a podcast client as 
well, but I am only really focusing on video since Amarok has podcast 
functionality. If anyone would like to see a standalone podcast client feel 
free to tell me.

The idea is to create a videocast client which is lightweight and integrated 
into KDE. Lightweight in the sense of responsive and using few resources, but 
also that it does not try to do things that other programs can do better. For 
example by using external media players.

I am wondering if there is anyone here who might be interested a videocast 
client for KDE or have any ideas about the direction it should be going. Is it 
a waste of time? Should it be a podcast client as well? Should it be called 
VideoKatcher?

Any ideas or feedback are greatly appreciated!

Videocatcher is also available from kde-apps.org: http://kde-

Regards,
Jonas
