SMPlayer could have a "killer feature" implementing a sopcast protocol interface to see web TV using SMPlayer.
Sopcast is the most used p2p tv protocol, and is widespread on the net. plus, it's free and it's the one avaiable also for linux.
at the moment i use the frontend qsopcast (http://code.google.com/p/qsopcast/) and send the stream to SMPlayer. it would be great to implement something similar to that frontend directly inside SMPlayer. note that qsopcast has been written in qt3 and is very thin.
a direct integration in smplayer would require, i think, few work, because qsopcast code coulde be recycled in a consistent part.
i hope you will integrate it in next smplayer revision
