I started playing an .mkv file with the old version. But Miro told me about the update. Once the update was installed, Miro locked when trying to start playing the same file. So it looks like a bug was introduced.
Hi Matt,
If you would please submit a bug at http://bugzilla.pculture.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Miro, it would help us track down the issue.
Please include your os, and the url of the file so that we can try to reproduce.
Now that we have video conversion for Linux, will you be releasing the video converter tool for that platform?
will you be releasing the video converter tool for that platform?

We are loving Miro but still no ability place parental control on access to the library. Would be a useful feature for the home computer environment.

Hi there!
I’m loving Miro. This is my first time using it and I’m astonished by its utility.
I’ve noticed only one small issue: when you convert to either iPhone 4 or iPad formats (which appear to be identical settings, since they produce identically-sized files) the aspect ratio of the resulting video is off.
When I play these MP4 files in VLC they’re in proper 16:9 format, but on my iPhone, iPad, and in iTunes on Windows the picture is stretched out vertically to 4:3. I see no way to adjust this in iTunes.
There’s also an issue with the audio of converted files, or at least the one I’ve tested so far. It was originally a 720p MKV of a TV show, presumably with AC3 audio. The converted file (which I viewed on my iPhone, stretched picture and all) had intermittent moments of amplified audio, always very brief and not terrible, but it was as if someone were blowing into the microphone.
Otherwise, great software. I hope this is useful and that a fix is forthcoming; when I can use Miro to convert my downloads for my iPhone, life will be perfect

Gosh, access to trailers and clips! How iTunes! Is this Web TV? It’s got a long way to go, baby!
Installing Miro 3.5 has been a disaster as I keep getting an “application configuration is incorrect” error message when I try to run it. I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Miro about 7 times and each time I get the same error message. I guess all my video downloads using the previous Miro version have been lost
