=== '''Audio/Video Players/Aggregators, Web TV and Codec''' ===
The '''VLC media player''' (or '''[[VideoLAN]]''') http://www.videolan.org/ is an open-source '''video (and audio) player''' available '''for all major platforms''' and capable of '''playing back almost all video formats found online'''. The VLC '''can be used as a streaming server''' http://www.videolan.org/streaming/ and also for '''transcoding video(streams)'''. '''(*)'''
The '''MPlayer''' http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html, open-source, is "the '''Movie Player for Linux'''", but there is also the MPlayer OS X http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/.
'''[[Miro]]''' http://www.getmiro.com/, open-source, brings '''independent internet tv''' (and using the '''[[Broadcast Machine]]''' http://www.getmiro.com/create/broadcast/ anyone can publish media - also via '''[[Bittorrent]]'''). Available for all major platforms.
'''[[FireAnt]]''' http://fireant.tv/ is - like Miro or Apple's iTunes - a '''feed aggregator''', meaning a user can subscribe to a particular channel via a publisher's '''[[RSS]]''' feed and the app will automatically download the latest episode of a particular programme. FireAnt is specially popular with parts of the videoblogging community, and it also offers one of the best ways of playing back downloaded .flv (Flash Video) files. ('''KeepVid''' http://keepvid.com/ lets users '''download Flash Videos''' from sites like YoutTube.) Available for Windows and Mac OS X.
'''PenguinTV''' http://penguintv.sourceforge.net/, open-source, is "not just another RSS feed reader. It is designed from the ground up '''to work seamlessly with podcasts and video blogs'''". Available for Linux.
'''Flip4Mac''' http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm is a commercial but free (there is a pro/to buy version) that '''allows Mac users to watch (newer) .wmv encoded files''' either via the web browser or with the QuickTime Player. Since the latest version of the open-source VLC (0.8.6) - see above - now also plays back videos encoded with the newer Windows Media 9 codec (on the Mac), Flip4Mac might not be so important any more for some Mac users.
'''QTAmateur''' http://www.mikeash.com/?page=software/qtamateur/index.html is "a small, simple QuickTime video player. It can play any format that QuickTime can understand, handle '''fullscreen video playback''', and '''export files to any format that QuickTime can write''' ...'''includes a Batch Export function''' which can convert any number of movies at a time to another format."
'''Perian''' http://perian.org/ is "a free, open source '''QuickTime® component that adds native support for many popular video formats'''" (like .avi and .flv). Requires '''OS X 10.4.7'''.
'''Xiph QuickTime Components''' http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/ is "the solution for '''Mac and Windows users''' who want to use Xiph formats in any QuickTime-based application, e.g. '''playing Ogg Vorbis in iTunes'''."
'''[[Ogg Vorbis]]''' http://www.vorbis.com/ (for audio) and '''Ogg Theora''' http://www.theora.org/ (for video) are '''open-source alternatives for media encoding''', also interesting for commercial online publishing since they are '''patent free''' and '''no license fees will have to be paid'''.
'''(*)''' '''VLC 0.8.6''' (December 2006): '''Windows Media 9 and Flash Video''' now also '''supported under OS X'''. The only major format '''not supported yet''' on any platform is the increasingly unpopular '''RealVideo'''.

RSS TV = Indie IPTV

While the entertainment industry is betting high on set top boxes ("media centres") - proprietary technology and user unfriendly DRM included - for TV over the net delivery (IPTV), there is an increasing number of users building their own PVRs (Personal Video Recorder) or a combination of PC, feed aggregator (RSS reader) and BitTorrent technology to get both legally available independently produced content, as well as mainstream TV shows delivered automatically to their PCs.

From an indie media producer's point of view RSS TV can be seen as the future of content distribution: RSS TV = Indie IPTV (or maybe it should be called iPTV: Rip. Mix. Burn. Feed...?)

For details see these related online articles:

Coming to your TV: RSS (describes an alternative use for Apple's upcoming AppleTV - www.p2p-blog.com, 10.01.07)

Hack Attack: Get your TV season pass with Democracy (www.lifehacker.com, 03.10.06)

How to Subscribe to TV Shows Using The Democracy Player, Bittorrent, and RSS (soylentfoo.jnewland.com, 23.02.06)

For finding independently produced video content see:

* Videoblog and Indie TV Directories *

• Democracy Channel Guide | Democracy Internet TV Channel Guide (channelguide.participatoryculture.org) - Democracy Player is now know as Miro http://www.getmiro.com/

• FireAnt.tv - Videoblogs, Vlogs, Video Podcast, Video Podcast Directory, Internet TV (getfireant.com)

• The videoblog and podcast directory. (www.mefeedia.com)

• VLOGDIR The Videoblog Directory listing thousands of vlogs and vodcasts (Note: "See VLOGDIR" only links to a photo of the directory - "Choose Category" and hit "Go" instead) (www.vlogdir.com)

• The blip.tv "Shows" directory (Click "Shows" and "Browse by..." to find content by genre.) (www.blip.tv)

One starting point for finding independently produced content on YouTube is

• "YouTube's Featured Videos by Category".

But the best way to find interesting content on YouTube might be to look at "Playlists" from users with similar interests or at "Related" when watching a video.

This page http://www.youtube.com/rssls explains how the YouTube RSS feeds work. Example: if you wanted to subscribe to the videos by YouTube user geriatric1927 http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=geriatric1927 you would add

feed://www.youtube.com/rss/user/geriatric1927/videos.rss

in e.g. Miro http://www.getmiro.com/ under "Channels" > "Add Channel...": all of this user's videos will then be downloaded automatically - including videos that he might add only later to his channel!

Indie distributors not so familiar with online media distribution might also want to have a look at the Beginner's Guide to the AudioVisual P2P Net (in this P2P Wiki section)
