The previous release simply hung during launch as if it were trying to check a channel and couldn’t complete. This release seems to work just fine.

It’s finally working for me
I’ll just have to search for all my old feeds that got lost again …

After I switched from my PB G4 to a new MBP Democracy stopped working. The fix that worked for me was trashing Democracy’s folder in: users/username/Library/Application Support

After that it works, but it did not remember what I had previously viewed in my collection

It worked for me, your mileage may vary…

I’m also mildly annoyed by the fact that the recent releases cause nothing but trouble for me. Except for taking ages to start up on my MBP 17″, the previous subrelease had the Camino Plugin InputManager Crasher and I still have the waste of CPU cycles problem and frequent crashes in the video playback (or rather colorspace conversion code) even during pause but much more likely during playback effectively forcing me to always use an external video player.

Hmmm well it now works, but I have lost all my pre-set channels. The files i had already downloaded are available to watch but my channel settings are gone which is annoying as some of the feeds required passwords.

Still it’s better than it was.

I may be in the minority here, but I can say that for the first time, Democracy finally works for me.
