I'm thinking a hack that involves pushing text messages from multiple phones (verified, I would hope) to said Twitter account. Any takers?

Hi Mitch, if you'd like to request a feature check out this thread.

Cool idea! Check out this thread to send it down the production line :)

Chris Markman replied on October 31, 2008 16:11 to the question "How can i delete all Miro files (the hidden files included) on OSX?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

If you really want to see hidden files open up Terminal and type/paste: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

To change it back just use NO instead of YES in that line. You'll need to reboot or relaunch the Finder each time to get this to work.

A comment on the question "Miro -> Portable Media Player (Ipod, IPhone, Windows Mobile, MP4 Player)" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

That depends on the file format you're working with -- check out Alok's post for an idea: http://getsatisfaction.com/participat...

Keep in mind there are a number of free utilities you can use to convert file formats. A lot of people like iSquint: http://www.isquint.org/ – Chris Markman, on September 11, 2008 15:10

A comment on the question "Accessing VLC settings in Miro" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Also, this is only true for the Windows version (and you actually need to copy over the preference file, it isn't automatic!) phew! – Chris Markman, on August 14, 2008 13:43

Download and install the stand-alone version and change settings within it -- it should transfer over for Miro playback.

A comment on the question "Miro -> Portable Media Player (Ipod, IPhone, Windows Mobile, MP4 Player)" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Just to clarify, it is possible to transfer video files with a little format conversion, but in the case of iTunes integration most of the useful metadata will be lost. There isn't an elegant solution just yet. – Chris Markman, on August 14, 2008 13:04

Chris Markman replied on August 14, 2008 13:02 to the question "when i run miro my internet connection is too slow or breaks!" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Short of Miro simply downloading/uploading a lot and causing a bandwidtth bottleneck on your system, this is really hard to diagnose without knowing more about your network setup or what content (and type of content) you're downloading.

Most older routers are not designed with P2P in mind. I had the same problem until I installed DD-WRT on mine. Do so at your own risk!

My guess? Your ISP doesn't like Bittorrent traffic, shame on them. EFF comes to the rescue.

You guys make a convincing argument. I'm not saying it can't or won't be done, but understand that time and resources are limited on the coding side of things.

You might want to check out this thread and see where it goes from there.

I'm not sure about the flash drive issue, that sounds like it might not be Miro related?

As far your second question, it's an active ticket in bugzilla -- so don't worry! we're aware and working on it.

Well, there's a small chance that they could all be from the same feed source, so I wouldn't rule that out completely.

Could you give us a few examples?

If it isn't a file association thing then I'm guessing your browser is automatically sending the .torrent files to Frostwire? (even though it isn't installed anymore?)
