Miro – a free, opensource video platform has recently been released. It’s a piece of software that allows you to download, manage, and watch video content and it runs on Microsoft Window, Mac OS X and Linux.
Their pitch is “Miro: turn your computer into an internet TV… watch free internet video channels and play any video file”.
You’ll need a broadband connection to get the full benefit of the ‘channels’ but I’ve been using it for a week or so now, and I’m very impressed. It’s good because it’s opensource software but it’s also good because it’s software that works.
Miro is a video tool that rolls a whole host of functions into one, including:
Miro also includes tagging, sharing, import/export and search features.
If you want a tool that gets the job done, and want to support the opensource software movement: Go get Miro.
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
Damn! That is nice. Thanks!
No worries. Now if I could just find a decent uncapped broadband plan that wouldn’t break the bank…
I’ve been searching my ass off and Slingshot looks like the best if you don’t need a landline to go with it. One of my buddies there says they’ve positioned themselves as a leecher ISP as it is.
AWESOME! This thing is great… now if I could only remember how to get to those sites that had video’s I wanted… Ah well – I’ve gone this long without them, I suppose I don’t need them.
