Miro 2.0 has been released.
Miro 2 has an all-new interface and lots of new features– but for me it’s less of a collection of new stuff and more of a rethinking of the whole Miro experience. I’m really proud of what we’ve built and I think it will definitely advance our mission to spread open video to more people.
In a nutshell, here’s what’s new:
- A beautiful, all-new widget based interface (see it in action here)
- Browse while you watch– pop out any video to an external window (our number one requested feature)
- Miro is now faster, more responsive, and uses less memory
- You can add streaming sites like Hulu to your sidebar (note: streaming with Flash only works in Windows and OSX)
- You can add download sites like Archive.org or legaltorrents.com to your sidebar and download to Miro with a single click
- Improved playlists
- New compact, sortable list view
- Better audio support
Crazy, I was just wearing my Miro shirt last night telling someone I needed to check out Miro again (I haven’t messed with it since back when it was Democracy), and I was just about to download it as I read this. I hope there is some better stuff for Miro nowadays than Revision 3 and their ambiguous licensing.
