Miro 2.0 Launches Today

soDean writes "Miro just launched their 2.0 release today. The free and open source HD video player and Internet TV features an all-new interface and an entirely rewritten UI engine, plus tons of new features and improvements — it's less of a collection of new stuff and more of a rethinking of the whole experience. You can download Miro 2.0 here for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Miro is developed by the Participatory Culture Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, hell-bent on making Internet video more open and decentralized, along with a dedicated community of users, volunteers, translators, testers, and coders."

  1. Problem with video players in Ubuntu by BadAnalogyGuy · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can't be alone in my problems with Ubuntu's media player. I installed Ubuntu in a VPC in order to be able to surf porn sites on my work computer and be undetectable in case someone tried to go through my cache. Things worked great except that I simply wasn't able to get video to work in the media player.

    It's not the end of the world. I can of course download static images, but sometimes it's more enjoyable to see porn in motion.

    Anyone else have the same problem? Does Miro solve this problem?

    It appears "OpenCandy" is only available for Windows, so I believe Microsoft owns your computer.

    I have one of thos einternet connections many just dream about..University BBone...ANyway, I got Miro and started to download content like a madman. 10-20 concurrent downloads all running at 1-10 megabit... It was great...

    Then the university admins cut me down to 56k modem speed for 2 weeks to teach me a lesson.

    Be careful with Miro. :P
