Videocatcher is an Internet television application powered by KDE. Videocatcher makes it easy to subscribe to video feeds and download new videos. It works as a podcast client as well.

It is similar to Miro but is lightweight and powered by KDE.

The default program that is used for playback of videos is Dragon Player. In case you do do not have Dragon Player installed (it is usually part of KDE) you can change the program in the settings dialog. VLC media player is a good choice, especially for streaming videos.

You might want to have a look at these similar programs: Miro, PenguinTV, GPodder, KatchTV, Kitty.

Videocatcher is maintained in the KDE repositories. Get the source code with: 

svn co svn://svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/network/videocatcher
