dwot Helpdesk – Ditching Your TV with Miro
Earlier this week, in our podcast pick we mentioned the great video player, Miro. Miro is a talented jack-of-all-trades combining playback for a multitude of video formats with an integrated Bit Torrent client, an excellent content discovery and subscription system, and web video search in a sweet cross-platform open-source package.
Installing Miro is a breeze on either Windows, Mac or Linux. Grab the install at http://www.getmiro.com/ and fire it up. Browse the Miro Guide and your sure to find some interesting programming. Simply click the Add button and Miro will present you with a list of all available episodes and begin downloading the latest episode for you. Add other episodes to the download pile by clicking the blue down arrow on the thumbnail. You can edit download and retention settings for this subscription by clicking the Settings button in the channel’s header. Playing is as simple as clicking the green play button on the thumbnail. Once your ready to add more content click the Guide item on the navigation menu and you’re right back where you were. Simple, easy to understand and highly functional, what’s not to love about Miro! Be sure to subscribe to our first podcast pick Tekzilla.
