Democracy TV
I found Democracy TV while searching for a video podcatcher to receive and watch Chaz's Yogamazing video podcasts in.
Here is how I got Democracy TV working on my Fedora rawhide system
First of all I downloaded the source package for Fedora Core 5 from http://www.getdemocracy.com/downloads/f
The rpm package available from the Democracy TV site would not install due to failed dependencies, mozilla-devel prominent among them.
The build of the source (rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/Democracy.spec) failed with a similar error. The mozilla-devel package does not seem to be available for Fedora rawhide. I found a mozilla-devel rpm for FC 5 here: http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/fedora/linux/c
and force installed it using rpm -Uvh --nodeps, as the mozilla installed on my rawhide system is 1.7.13.
After this it still wouldn't build, and then I found this thread: http://www.fedora-france.org/modules/ne
Following the instructions there, notably:
as root :
I was able to convince the package to build, and then install it. Installing it required me to get gnome-python2-gtkmozembed, which luckily for me this time, was available in the rawhide repositories.
Then it appeared in the Sound & Video menu.
Now that I have it, I don't know if I can actually watch the podcasts with it. Chaz provides his podcasts through iTunes. Still trying to figure that out...
