Yeah I realize this is going to be hard fortunatly I only need to duplicate some of miro's functionality and layout. Things like the web browser end is already built into android. So it's really a matter of getting it to function with the miro guide website and maintaining the feel and ease of Miro.-
A comment on the idea "Miro for Android Phones" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):
Charging is not a problem at all actually the Competing apps in the android market place are Google listen which is free but is pretty terrible. Beyondpod which is OK but not as good as miro and costs 2.00 and Dogcatcher which is great (or so I hear) but costs 7 dollars. So it doesn't really matter if we don't own the content or the delivery people just want an app that will do what miro does on an android phone and they are willing to pay a couple of bucks for it. One of the major hurtles will be the fact that Miro is written mostly in python. While andoid apps are written in a form of java. and tailoring the menues to small screens. So I will A) need to translate the code into Java which is no small task and B) develop an interface. So I basically need a development team.
You don't need an android mobile phone to do development work. They have an android plugin for Eclipse that does emulation. Also you can probably install Android on your eeepc there is some insight in linux journal's October issue in the article called put Android anywhere. Thanks for the support. – Mike, on October 16, 2009 01:18 -

well there is already a way to do youtube through miro. It would be great if you could do hulu but it's doubtful because hulu purposely has things set up to prevent that. but that doesn't mean it is impossible. -

Miro for Android PhonesThere should be a version of miro for android phones! currently all the media aggregation apps for android have two fundamental flaws. 1) there interface is crap and 2) You can't find the content you want to add to your feeds. With a modified interface and a miro guide mobile site this could kill the competition. and you could charge a few bucks per download and put that into development! I would like to help out on this project. If miro is disinterested I am thinking of possibly making a fork of miro myself for mobile phones. -

Yeah I am glad I found this out. I was thinking my DNS was messed up. Then I thought that maybe Comcast was blocking miro for some reason. sheesh this is annoying. -

network trafficWhen I use Miro my Firewall goes nuts. It is trying to open and receive traffic from all kinds of ports and I mean beyond what I set it to listen to for torrents. any Ideas as to why this is or if it safe?
