Miro

Version: 1.2.3 || Release Date: 2008-04-22 || License: GPL Developer: Participatory Culture Foundation

Miro is a free application that turns your computer into an internet TV video player.

The Mac version of Miro uses Quicktime 7, which is built into the operating system, to play video. In addition, it uses plugins for Quicktime to play even more video types. The Mac version can play MPEG, MP4, MOV, H264, Flash, Xvid, AVI, OGG, and more.

Previously known as Democracy.

Cons:
- it's a memory hog application.
- slow and heavy since it's based on the XUL technology from Mozilla
- Not cocoa!
- has some weird issues with leopard

Pros:
- unlike iTunes it also enable you to watch and subscribe youtube channels
- has a very nice portal for browsing and picking up your favorite channels. I wish apple store has something pretty slick like this

For some reason, today Miro is not able to search any videos from YouTube. (Yesterday it worked OK.)
I have tried with the other websites included in the search field (Google Video, Dailymotion, blip.tv, etc.) and they all work perfectly. Searching in YouTube gives no result. Nothing at all!

I have been trying Miro and there are two little things that could make it even better:
1. When there are more than 20 videos in a search, it displays only the first 20. There's no way to access the other ones. (Or am I missing something?)
2. It would be nice if there was a field to insert the video URL (from those websites) and then play it.
Otherwise, it's excellent!
