New update of Miro out. Full details below.
Happy to see the Ubuntu Gutsy support and the support for alternate channel guides (such as mefeedia). :) The ability to download individual videos without subscribing to a show is nice too. But what really makes me happy is they've brought the permalink out of hiding and brought it to the forefront in the playback interface. My previous workaround had been to click the star button, which took me to a form on the videobomb site from which I could then copy/paste the permalink into the web browser location bar. I'm guessing most people never discovered this workaround and hence never got from watching the video back to the original site. Having a direct link back to the originating website is a huge coup and should improve creator to fan contact in miro tremendously. It was always my most loved feature in Fireant. -Mike mefeedia.com mmeiser.com/blog [image: miro logo] Major Update Available A major update to Miro is available. The new version is Miro Public Preview 3 (0.9.9.9). We strongly recommend that all users upgrade. New Features and Bug Fixes in Public Preview 3 (0.9.9.9) - On Windows, Miro will now generate thumbnails for any file that you download or add to your library. If a channel already provides a thumbnail for a video, Miro will show that instead. - Compatibility with OSX Leopard and Ubuntu Gutsy. - Miro now shows the channel icon instead of the generic video icon each video in a channel. - Miro will now remeber in-channel search terms, when you leave the channel or return from a playing video. - Miro now has the ability to add alternate channel guides and initiate individual video downloads with a 1-click button. - There are changes to the first time user experience, new users are now able to subscribe to some batches of channels on specific themes, like Sports, News, Food, etc. - At the request of video bloggers, we've put a 'permalink' below the video playback area. This makes it easy to go to that video post and leave a comment. - Some install functionality that makes our Co-Branded Miro service possible. - Lots of bug fixes and small tweaks.
