Use Miro from another computer
It would be extremely useful to be able to see feeds and playback files from another Miro installation on another computer.

Most multi-person households today have more than one computer, but it doesn't make sense to have Miro running on more than one computer downloaded the same shows multiple times. Miro should be made to connect (read-only) to the SQLite database of a Miro install on another computer to see the available feeds/files. Then it should be able to playback the files from that other computer.

Another example, we don't leave the computer hooked to our TV on all of the time. We suspend it when not in use to save power. But our storage server is left on all the time to serve media files and store backups. If we have Miro running on the HTPC, then we can't shut it down to save power. If we run Miro on the server, we can't use it from the HTPC. The best solution would be to leave Miro running on the server, and allow access to it from Miro on the HTPC.

That Bugzilla listing already has a patch to add this feature, so it's a bit of a mystery why it doesn't already work. It would take someone 5 minutes to review the patch and apply it.

Do you think this is one of the best points? Mark it as a good point
