Download Miro 2.5

Miro has been updated to version 2.5 by the Participatory Culture Foundation. Miro is, in short, an open source cross-platform high-definition media streamer, downloader and player. The program contains a limited number of channels by default, but these can easily be expanded with your own sources. It is also possible to use the Miro Guide, which currently contains more than 5,000 channels. More information about the possibilities of this program are on this page to find and here there is a short video showing Miro in action. The changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:

Here are the biggest changes:

• Miro 2.5 launches 2 – 4 times faster (especially for users with lots of videos and feeds)
• New audio podcast section of the Miro Guide
• Better interface for audio playback
• Button to download from YouTube when you add as sidebar site – also see: 4 ways to download files (including torrents) from websites inside Miro
• Smarter handling of bittorrent files, especially videos
• New Library interface with ‘Video’, ‘Audio’, and ‘Other’ sections
• New keyboard shortcuts for virtually all functions (great for programming a remote control)
• Interface polish and refinement
• Easier hacking: the database layer was rewritten to use a simplified SQLite schema and we’ve created a new developer documentation site: Miro Developer Documentation v2.5 (more deets)
• Lots of bug fixes and tweaks
