sg replied on June 14, 2009 10:49 to the question "How do I get rid of the controls on the video itself?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

They're necessary for the pop-out playback. They should not be shown when the video is embedded except for the bottom part but I suppose someone needs to file a feature request for that. FYI, in the next release they'll be slightly more bearable already.

sg replied on June 14, 2009 10:44 to the question "Why is there no direct link to the original content, aka the item link element from the RSS feed?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

There is a direct link to the original content when you subscribe to the content in Miro. The preview in the Miro Guide is just that, a preview.... not meant to substitute feeds.

A comment on the idea "Miro on windows, No Video, Audio-only (solution)" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Dropbox is a neutral host, just ignore the overzealous warning... it's just a webarchive of the original wiki post with the full instructions on how to copy settings over for both Vista and XP. – sg, on June 14, 2009 10:42

A comment on the question "How can Miro be running when I don't have it on my computer?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

This will work for everyone. People shouldn't rename the downloaded installer... – sg, on June 08, 2009 17:34

sg replied on June 02, 2009 19:36 to the question "how do i add folders to my library" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Look for a section called folder or so in the settings where you can specify watchfolders.

sg replied on June 02, 2009 19:32 to the question "Miro 2.0.4 won't compile on Centos 5.3" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Nightlies would be a good bet. If you can pinpoint the underlying issues file some bugs...

sg replied on June 02, 2009 19:27 to the problem "OS X pretends I have multiple copies of Miro" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Maybe you actuallly have multiple copies of Miro on your hard disk, so try run a search?

A comment on the question "opencandy" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Miro bundles a lot of software components where PCF deems it necessary, like VLC, libtorrent, Perian, Sparkle, Growl, and whatnot. Unlike those listed, OpenCandy does not run unless a user explicitly opts in and instructs it to do so, and to my knowledge does not do anything malicious ever, so I fail to see any malintent here or inherent to OpenCandy... – sg, on June 02, 2009 19:20

sg replied on June 02, 2009 19:05 to the question "The Heads Up display UI Design" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

The HUD will be smaller in the next release (as in video title shown only in fullscreen).

Also, ideally HUD should be shown in detached windows, in addition to fullscreen mode only. Someone should file a feature request to not show the HUD automatically upon starting playback, as it's pointless. In my opinion this should be implemented as the default behaviour, so not some additional settings which would lead to feature creep.

sg replied on April 30, 2009 05:53 to the problem "Remember sidebar width" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

I do think so. Also the chicklets are being cut off at startup unless you resize it on OS X.

A comment on the question "Why does Miro crash on startup after organizing feeds?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

If not done already, you should file a bug, as some devs don't frequent GetSatisfaction.
On a sidenote, http://pculture.org/devblogs/bdk/2009... may be of interest for the future? – sg, on April 28, 2009 05:53

sg replied on April 17, 2009 16:58 to the problem "Miro Error - An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

That's rather vague. Start the console app, maybe it will show more helpful info...
