Miro 1.0

If you're into videoblogging, and it would seem that everyone is these days, then you have to check out Miro (you may know it as Democracy player). Billed as 'groundbreaking Internet TV software,' Miro 1.0, which was released yesterday, allows you to search, subscribe to, and view any number of video podcasts. A handy guide is built right into the client so you'll never be without content, but if you can't find something that strikes your fancy there the ability to search across a number of video sharing sites is also baked right into the app.

Miro allows you to organize your subscriptions in channels, create playlists, and much more. Miro, as you might expect, is free and requires OS X 10.3 (though 10.4 is required to play some videos). A Windows and Linux client is available as well, but who uses those platforms anymore?

I think Miro is the best app that I used in 2007 by far. It is flawless from what I have seen. Sent it up with the podcasts and TV programs you want and it dl and organizes them and they are all there ready to view with a decent interface.

If they had an easy way to then get the TV content onto an Ipod Touch / iPhone then it would be perfect.

BLATANT advertisement for Scott's other line of work and blog topics on at www.slashfood.com with Marisa McClellan. That's www.slashfood.com, folks.
I start with TUAW, go to Engadget, and then I'm off to Slashfood several times a day. Keep up the good work on all the blog sites everyone!

Does anyone know if the BT client supports encryption?

I need to catch up on my Scott McNulty facts. I was all set to make fun of you for making a fake cooking show, only to find out that is, in fact, a real cooking show! Ladies and gentlemen, what can't he do? :-D

So how does this compare to VLC ? Does it handle MPEG-TS files better ? Or how about WMV files ? Can you FF in them without the whole thing becoming corrupt ?

I'm downloading it now but would appreciate some info on what i can expect..

The torrent client is awesome. It is usually faster then Transmission or Xtorrent. I don't know why, it must just come with a good default setup.

A built in BT client is great if you want all your tv shows automatically downloaded (via rss) and want them together with your video podcasts, which Miro is vastly superior to iTunes for.

to tell the truth, I don't like Miro at all. It does thousand things I will never use (why should I download bittorent through it? I have azureus! why should I look at youtube through it? i have safari.... and so on) and none of these things is perfect .... it just does a dozend things but none of them really good .... just my opinion
