PenguinTV is not just another RSS feed reader. PenguinTV is designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with podcasts and video blogs, allowing you to easily enjoy the audio, music, and video published around the web in RSS format.
Until now, the only solutions for listening to podcasts on Linux have been clunky apps and unreliable bash scripts. Many solutions require the user to browse file directories named by date to find media files. With the large amount of information in podcasts and videos, a user needs help to keep track of everything.
PenguinTV eliminates all of these problems with a light-weight but powerful interface that shows you what you need to know, and hides what you don't. You can immediately see what you've watched, what's available to view, and which media are downloading.
You don't have to worry about where files are stored, what their names are, or what format they are in. Rather than try to reinvent the wheel by coding its own media player, PenguinTV launches the media player of your choice to view your downloads.
