Description:

KatchTV is an "Internet TV" application for KDE, otherwise known as a broadcatcher. It makes it easy to subscribe to "TV" channels from all over the internet in the form of podcasts, so that you can browse channels, download shows, and watch them, all from one convenient interface.

Supported features include:

* Video podcasts ("vodcasts").
* Bittorrent-based broadcatching.
* Audio podcasts.
* Multiple background downloads of media and updates of feeds, all while you watch/listen to your favourite shows.
* Manages any media you download, so that you don't lose track of your disk space.
* Built-in KHTML-based web browser, with specific customisations for this application.
* Automatically subscribes to any feeds you click on while browsing.
* Uses KDE's default embedded media players, for flexible configuration and KDE integration.
* Supports Macromedia Flash movies, if you have a suitable plugin.
* Built-in bookmarks of major vodcast/podcast sites, so you don't have to look to hard for great content.
* Stores episode details along with downloaded media to make tracking easier.
* Allows manually adding any feeds (in case some site makes it awkward to add them
* Can also read standard RSS news feeds, if you prefer not to run separate media and news aggregators.
* Feed for KatchTV updates, so you never have to miss the latest features.

Installation is easy, as long as your distro has PyKDE, PyQt, and a movie player capable of playing videos inside Konqueror, such as Kaffeine or MPlayer. Just untar to some directory like /usr/local, and run the KatchTV program. You can also make a symlink to that executable from a directory like /usr/local/bin, and KatchTV will work out where to find its files. Oh, you seem to also need konsole for PyKDE, although that's probably a bug in PyKDE.

Comments welcome; let me know if you've any problems using it.




Changelog:

* Display feeds in reverse chronological (latest first) order always (fixes a regression)
* Separately track unseen/seen vs. new/old episodes
* Better coloring for new/old/downloaded episodes, so it's easy to see what's new
* Various small bugfixes and improvements
* (internal) improvements to code documentation

(latest update is just to change homepage and download links to KatchTV's new site)

 OUTSTANDING!!!

Thank you so much for your great work. I believe this runs smoother and cleaner then DemocracyTV, for me at least. It was way to easy to install, and the README file told me how to get my video working correctly with kaffeine. I have been using it for a couple of hours and have spent this whole time watching everything tech. keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see more from you!!!

Great app - however could the slider be fixed - it won't allow you to resize the left pane very much.

That's on my list of things to fix. It's just a small issue; shouldn't take long. Recently I've been concentrating on getting major features done, but I'll do that next.

There is a way to get more screen space, though I realise it's not always an ideal solution: when you shrink the side panel normally, it'll stop after a little while. However, it's just resisting because there is a minimum size set; if you keep trying to shrink, towards the left edge, the panel will be hidden. Note that for videos, you should resize before starting playback right now.

 Download dir

hey, at first thanks for this nice app. Well, coming to the point, how can I set my download dir where the download files will b saved? I have quite less space in my linux partition and I use a another partition for downloading or storing data.

The easiest way is to move ~/.KatchTV to another partition, and then just symlink ~/.KatchTV to that new location. Something like:

mv ~/.KatchTV /newpath/KatchTV_Data
ln -s /newpath/KatchTV_Data ~/.KatchTV

I think this should work fine, but it's untested, so let me know if you have any problems with it :)

Hey, thanks a lot. It worked.

However, I am having a new problem while using it. Untill downloding videos from internet it is working quite well. However, when clicking play, it doesnt play anything. I have Kaffeine installed on my box. I located the downloaded video on the file-system and kaffeine could open the video. But, as I mentioned before, I could not open it after clicking the "play" button from the KatchTV window.

*Something* should happen for sure. Normally, you'll get a status bar message (at the bottom of the KatchTV window), which says that it's opening the media file. Then, after a moment, the page you're in should be replaced by the play page. If kaffeine (or another KDE player) can't show the media, you'll probably get a box with an explanation about this. If it's really breaking (which isn't unheard of right now, but is unusual) then you'll get debugging information on the command line. If nothing at all is happening, try just clicking play again -- sometimes it's a little tricky to press right now, due to the UI locking for a moment when it updates.

Hey, for testing I had downloaded one video-show and that was giving the following error on the Konsole. However, when i downloaded another videos, it worked quite with Kaffeine. Anyway, now I am using it without any problem.

Yep, I just discovered this problem myself the other day. It's intermittent, but might crop up for you again. Not serious though; I'll get it fixed soon :)

 can't play the files

I'm having trouble playing stuff with it, it loads up kmplayer to play the videos but it never loads, this is odd because kmplayer can play the .mov files fine outside of katchtv.
is it possible to make it play the files in kaffeine instead?

Yes, kmplayer seems to be broken somehow :(

If you read the included documentation (README.txt file, and the click on the help button in KatchTV), you'll find more details on this, and how to use kaffiene (or other KDE-compatible players, if you have some).

I really don't know what to install to get KatchTV work, any help?

Just apt-get install python-kde3 should do it (don't forget kaffeine).

Honestly, I don't remember now :) It's been a while since I worked on that version. I have a new version ready to release, but have been hoping to get work done on an even newer version instead. I'll probably just release the version I have now, at some stage, but I want to reorganise the website for it first, too.

I made most (if not all) of KatchTV to run from any dir, but there may be some things that require particular locations -- not sure. For now, it's probably safer to install it according to the docs. I use a debian-like (debian itself actually) system too, so the location specified in the docs shouldn't be "bad" in any way, even if it doesn't suit your personal preference.

I am so glad to see that you are active on this again. Almost a year to the day I started using KatchTV and have loved it. Keep on rocking, and if I can ever be of any assistance don't hesitate to contact me! Rock on!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement nix' -- glad you're still enjoying it :)

Actually, this latest release has been 95% done for quite a while now. I just did a few final things and packaged it today. It was enough to get me in the coding mood though, so I started another project afterwards :)
