Miro 2.0 Release Candidate Testing


Last night Will posted the Miro 2.0-rc1 build onto the Miro nightly builds page.  I thought I would provide some information about downloads, bugs and what has changed within Miro since we had asked for more widespread testing with the January 20th build.

For the 20090120-nightly build, there have been more than 8000 downloads on os x, about 1600 on windows and 230 source downloads.

This is a huge amount of downloads for just a nightly build.  That number coupled with the actual number of serious bugs that were reported has given us a lot of confidence to move forward.  So thanks.

Bugs fixed in the last 10 days

There have been 58 bugs fixed in the last 10 days.  All but four (4) of them we considered priority 1 or 2 tickets.  There were 49 bugs opened in the past 10 days and 20 of them remain open.  However those that remain are mostly lower priority tickets.

There has been huge momentum towards getting this release finished.  The developers have been doing a fantastic job fixing the bugs as they have been reported.  We still need your continued participation to be sure that we get all critical bugs found and resolved.

So please, download and test Miro 2.0-rc1 today.  If you find any bugs, please check the 2.0 bug list for duplicates and comment there before making a new report.

Here is a quick update -

Since Release Candidate 1 was posted - there were a few bugs reported about visualization showing on windows behind the playing video and the application hanging at the end of playback.

These have since been resolved and you can download a more recent nightly build to get those fixes.

At last, after searching all you links I have stumbled on “Write a Comment”. A user suggestion box should be more prominent.
I have been using “Miro” for many years and found that this is the best player on the market.
Currently I’m using it to download the news and various channels for viewing on my HDTV via streaming server. I’m using “Java PS3 Media Server” and PlayStation3.
The system work very well, but every day I have to go to “Miro” ad delete previous day’s or 2 days downloads. In another words I would like the system to work like a regular TV feed always having current (1 day old) feeds.
This could be achieved if in Options you could incorporate a checkbox to check it to delete the files whether they were watched (played) or not. Basically a simple mod that it would oper a world of downloadable TV channels streamed to your TV.
Thank You
Zygmund Goreki

i would like to second the request of the previous commenter. I would like an option to delete a file whether it has already been played or not.

That would be a feature request. You should check in http://bugzilla.pculture.org if there is an already existing request, and if not file a bug.
