MetaBroadcast helps people find moving images through great metadata aggregation. They introduced URIplay, which allows discovery, accessing, and playing of content from various video sources through formats like RSS, JSON, and Atom. MetaBroadcast is looking to add more sources and data, improve caching and indexing, and enable others to build apps and add video sources using their tools.
