"In case you have been feeling out of options when it comes to
watching Internet TV and finding video podcasts, the Participatory
Culture Foundation (PCF) on Monday released a major new version of
Miro, its open source Internet TV and podcast player. Miro 2.0
brings integration with streaming sites like Hulu and Archive.org,
a windowed video player, and much-improved performance.
"The first noticeable change upon running the new version is
some appreciated new UI polish. Miro's sidebar has been tightened
up and now features separate sections for sites (we'll get to those
in a minute), subscribed feeds, audio feeds, and playlists. The
toolbar has been rearranged to place controls on the left and give
more space to the timeline for scrubbing, and videos can now be
played in an external window to allow for browsing and organizing
while watching an episode."
