Miro 2.5

Miro (formerly known as Democracy Player) makes video on the internet way less frustrating and way more enjoyable. You can subscribe to channels of internet video, download videos, and watch them fullscreen, one after the other, all in one application. A built-in channel guide brings you new content every day. It’s free and open for everyone to watch and to broadcast.

WHAT’S NEW

Version 2.5:

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
