Confreaks is a great resource for watching Ruby presentations from conferences around the world; XBMC is a powerful media player which you can use to enjoy them from the comfort of you sofa.
Update: As of v14, XBMC is now known as Kodi.
xbmc-confreaks is available in the official XBMC Addons repository. It can be found under Video Addons as described here.

To deactivate:
$ deactivate
$ python -m unittest discover
Or one at a time:
python -m unittest resources.tests.test_addon.IntegrationTests.test_index
Note that the tests are full integration test and run against the live Confreaks site, making it easier to catch breaking changes in the Confreaks markup/content.
- This addon has been tested with XBMC 12 "Frodo", 13 "Gotham", and Kodi 14 "Helix"
- Currently the following Confreaks video formats are supported: downloadable files, YouTube, and Vimeo. Please raise an issue if new formats are added and I'll do my best to add support for them.
This plugin uses xbmcswift2, a "A micro framework to enable rapid development of XBMC plugins". Thanks to Jonathan Beluch for this.
