However, it's definitely better to just use the button below the download to add the channels directly to the existing installation. marxistvegan, I don't know if PPK is still making new episodes -- it's a cool show though. Svein, There are screenshots on the pages -- they look just like regular Miro, just with different default channels. Hi all,

If you already have Miro installed, installing these versions shouldn’t erase anything — they will only add the new channels. However, it’s definitely better to just use the button below the download to add the channels directly to the existing installation.

marxistvegan,

I don’t know if PPK is still making new episodes — it’s a cool show though.

Svein,

There are screenshots on the pages — they look just like regular Miro, just with different default channels.

Also, I have the classic one installed with a few subscriptions. What happen if I download any of these and try to install it? Will it keep my old channels? Will it uninstall the classic one? Should I uninstall the classic one before I install the food version or the christian version? I think it is a good idea to offer specialized versions. It would actually be cool to have a "make-your-own" version where you have made it simple for people to make a skin and preload it with their own selection as well as a part of this website where people can submit their own versions and others can vote on them. The internet is all about findin the right niches today. Nothing can be everything to everybody. So I congratulate Miro on this effort. And I guess it will not be too long before we will se technology, sports, news and fashion on the list along with a lot more. Also, you might consider national themes.

I like the classic miro look and i already have most of the revision3 content added and i would like to add the food stuff, but what i would see as more of a benefit to the end users is a radio button or check list on install that is something like "check what gets you off:" christian stuff food stuff revision3 stuff ... and then it auto adds those preset lists of videos in folders, and maybe a "common" folder for the ones that are in more then one or a "athiets-christian" channel for those that are in both... and order by alphabet or by amount of topic X over Y... but that could be harder, i would just go with common. I don't want the christian stuff but i would like to know what shows and to easily add the food shows to my list of miro shows. Maybe i am misunderstanding but it sounds like these are different installers (i.e. diff skins and preloaded content) and not quick add a group shows buttons. -=tbn=- Now, i understand the reasoning behind the coke “christian” version, but i like the coke classic… sorry bad pun.

I would be cool if there was a way for people to somehow "configure" these download all by themselves. For example... a community could maintain their own list of video blogs. (Using XOXO, OPML, or something.) So... for example, if a community had a list of video blogs at: http://example.com/thelist/ Then you could configure the download using: http://getmiro.com/download?href=http://example.com/thelist/ (Or something like that.) That would be really cool! -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux http://changelog.ca/ Really interesting.
