Most of the gnu/linux versions of 0.9.6 have been posted at the downloads page: Go get em. This includes support for Ubuntu Feisty.
Update: there were some issues, but it should be fixed now.
Miro

The Ubuntu Feisty url on the downloads page in incorrect, the end reads fiesty/ instead of feisty/ – here’s what it should be:
deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/democracy/linux/repositories/ubuntu feisty/
The typo is still there.

Thanks for the Feisty repository, and all the work done on 0.9.6!
(I noticed the fiesty error, so no worries.
Downloading…)
Will there be an amd64 package, like there was for edgy?
Still crashes for me, The version in the ubuntu repos works however

I have the same output as Edward on Feisty. The SVN version works pretty well.
Sorry about all these problems— we’re working on it!
Is there a bugreport? Perhaps with an RSS, so i can be notified on updates to it?
Hi folks, we just updated the feisty packages. The segfault should be fixed now.
Ben
I was pretty impatient, sorry. It works now. Thanks a million. Finally. Been waiting for this for quite a while. Feisty has been out for some time now.
Seems to work now!
Hi,
Installed on Feisty great, but, how do enable proxy support?
I cannot find an option anywhere and when I export the proxy that does not work either!
[...] I wrote about Democracy a month ago, back then the biggest comment that I got was that Democracy wouldent work for them. Democracy just released version 0.9.6 today and in the release post they claimed to have fixed support for feisty. Now I have been running the stock version that comes in the Ubuntu repository’s and I must say it is a product that once you use it you will never go back. I love coming home and having all of my vlogs downloaded for me ready to watch, I just wish I could find more Ubuntu vlogs, if anyone can find some let please post a link in the comments. I’m quite adventurous when it comes to Ubuntu and I will install anything weather or not I think it will break my system. So I backed up my ~/.democracy folder added the democracy repository, they have a great tutorial by the way, to my sources.list and upgraded. [...]
Could you release a package for amd64 as well?

When is the version for Fedora Core 6 coming out?
Fedora 6 is up, I believe, is that not working?
Awesome. It used to crash after a video finished playing forcing the use of a separate media player – it’s good to see it fixed.
Looking forward to the release of Miro.
I have just downloaded DemocracyPlayer 0.9.6 and thank you for making such a fine application available on my Ubuntu 7.04 desktop.
However, there are a few mp4 files that I downloaded from the Archive of Classic Movies which cause my PC to freeze completely, so I have to do a hardware restart. I thought it was only those market for ipod download but I downloaded one which was not marked so, yet it also froze my PC entirely. I understand that there are formats that DemocracyPlayer cannot understand, but it should have a safety feature to just reject it and not crash the operating system. I thought GNU/Linux was safe from application crashes bringing the OS down, but I see that it is not so.
Could you explain the problem? Thank you.
Please please please release an amd64 package…
The automatic update of democracy-data has disabled democracy and now I can’t get Miro to install because of dependency issues. So now I can’t run either.
