Miro 1.0 is Here
I am incredibly excited to announce the launch of Miro 1.0.
With this launch, we are ready to build a movement for truly open video. We’re on a mission, we have a world-class product, we have an amazing community, and more and more open channels are being published every day. It’s the right time.
Comprehensive Feature Guide
With version 1.0, we’ve also published a fairly comprehensive overview of Miro features. Even our power users might notice a couple things they haven’t tried yet. Miro 1.0 Features.
Press Release
It seemed like a press release would be helpful for our reporter friends, so we’ve published one here: Groundbreaking Open-Source Internet TV Software Launches.
Co-Branding Miro
We’re preparing to launch the first round of co-branded Miros for specific websites and video publishers. We’re working with some incredible partners. If you’re interested, please see our Co-Branding Overview and get in touch with Jesse.
Why is Miro Better than Joost?
Recently, we published a chart comparing ourselves to Joost. We believe Miro is both a better product and better for the world. Miro vs. Joost.

Hey, now that you have reached a major milestone, will you be able to focus some more attention on “Broadcast Machine” ?
I am desperately trying to get it to perform “server side seeding”.
Thanks…

Well done - Miro is a great player - http://www.plumi.org/ makes the perfect addition as a FOSS video CMS - provides RSS2 channels that work with Miro.

Love Miro, but still no support for the Apple Remote ? This is a major omission for a media player. VLC supports it, why not take a look at what they’ve done ?
November 14th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
Congrats, but I hope this version actually works, I’ve had the package installed on ubuntu for months and it’s allways crashed out as soon as it loads. Despite filing bug reports it hasn’t been fixed, oh well I hope this version works as I really want to use it.

Woot, just thought I’d come back and say this new version actually works, well done guys, glad to finally have it working.

Miro 1.0 wont install from the repositorys on either my Ubuntu Dapper installation at home, or my Edgy at work. It says missing dependancies. Are you going to release Dapper & Edgy versions?

I’m very excited about Miro. I love the concept and I’m glad something is finally going to give iTunes some competition.
However; I utilize Windows Media Center (extender specifically) for my internet tv. Is there any planned integration?

@Nicholas
Congrats for the work done !
But, what about the Miro 1.0 compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard ??
Thanks for the details.
November 15th, 2007 at 9:25 am
Pascal– Miro is Leopard compatible. Let us know if you have any issues.
November 15th, 2007 at 11:21 am
@ Nicholas
Ok, great news !!
But, what about the comments on this Miro Forum thread !??
http://www.getmiro.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=366&page=1#Item_0
I don’t know anything in software dev. , sorry.
I just want to use this great app. on my great new OS… without bugs !
Thanks for your kind support.
November 15th, 2007 at 5:28 pm
Pascal - Unfortunately the comments in the forum cover a range of problems. Some were resolved prior to the release, another was a user configuration problem. If you are having a specific problem the best thing would be to create a ticket in bugzilla.pculture.org and include a description and your log files.

Well, I really BELIEVE in the things you do and I believe in free media, beeing a part of it.
I really, really appreciate the work you do with miro - it is really, really important to keep media free.
BUT — sorry — Miro is the best example for anti-software - it is so BLOATED and so extremely slow - this is really unbelievable, Miro is the slowest software I ever have seen on a Windows desktop. I did not test Miro for Linux, because there are no packages for my distro and for obvious reasons I do not want to circumvent the package system (who would do that in 2007?)
Well, I really, really LOVE your ideals - but miro is JUST AN AGGREGATOR + P2P - so how the hell can it be up to 200MB in Memory? Why does it take 10-20 Seconds for a simple MOUSECLICK on an item to react - it takes sometimes up to a minute switching to a channel - miro is really, really the most unresponsive software I have ever seen - it is nearly impossible to USE miro - why does miro spit 150 MB of “icon-cache” into my profile, and all over the same pictures???
Well, the unresponsive and extremely sluggish behaviour of the software would be excusable, if it at least WORKED - but the subscription of channels does NOT work reliable - I have around 200 Channels and lots of them with ALWAYS rotating icons besides their names, but no new videos are loaded.
Well, I must admit, i STILL LOVE your approach - I totally respect you and the things you are trying to do - but PLEASE get some good programmer on board - what you have now, is a bloated catastrophe - miro is a real “anti-software” and a master piece of an example to show how NOT to do software. Hell, why can´t you just use one of hundreds existing user interface implemenations - your “explorer tree” implementation is the worst i have ever seen - there are so many free “explorer tree” examples out there, are you blind?
I would recommend to head over to http://www.wxcommunity.com and try to find an experienced software developer.
Sounds all evil and not thankful?
Well, I am just telling the truth man, I do not want to hurt you, i want a BETTER miro. Miro MUST get better - ATM it is quite clear that the miro aggregator will evolve to a synonym of “the alternative media” (while video.indymedia.org is still down BTW!!!) - and free media producers need a better basis for their often dangerous work, better than a bloated, not working aggregator!!! WORk HARDER!!! WE ALSO DO, all day and all night!
Now take a spliff, let it deepen and please rethink your software architecture.
“Do it better yourself, loudmouth!” you are shouting, well, that is ok. I am doing. Let time pass and we will see… the competition is not sleeping
!
It is only the truth had to be said - everybody is hyping miro now, but you are running into a dead end - open your eyes and switch code base before it is too late!
THANKS!
November 17th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
i think Miro* is awesome, but it was a huge mistake to base it in Mozilla code, because it caries around some of the problems in firefox to Miro:
errors to load, errors with firewalls and other software, bad memory management, bad cache, etc.
this kind of project would have been perfect to do in .Net but i know that you guys hate .net, but i would rather see it in pretty much anything but Mozilla based code…
i installed in 10 diferent machines(from low to high performance) since the first miro and the only usable version arrived with miro preview and now it is usable with 1.0.. that is not a good sign.
but i wish miro the best.
*(it is called miro because of the paiter that had the mantra of seeing things through color and strokes or because the word is spanish for saw and watched?)
