This bug (as posted by Chris Markman in the first post) is marked as "Resolved/Fixed".

Huh???

We've been talking about this for a yea or more now. It is NOT fixed.

I'm with you, sahaskatta. I think I'll be leaving Miro for a bit as well. Maybe check back in a couple more version releases to see if things have improved on the memory front as well as this "crashing on exit" issue.

You are right, of course, on the direction Miro has taken. It is indeed a long way from it's first incarnation. A fine program. But these 2 issues are a show stopper for the time being.

Just downloaded and installed Miro 2.5.3 [775f9134]. This problem persists. This has gotten ridiculous. I's not like only a couple people suffer from this insidious bug. Something needs to be done. It needs to be fixed.

Uncle Spellbinder replied on October 13, 2009 14:15 to the problem "Miro Guide Not Loading" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Both Firefox and SeaMonkey are loading Miro Guide just fine. So is Miro. My guess:

Like any other website, Miro Guide is just not available from time to time. Granted, this is happening to Miro Guide far to often. Which is why I'm rather shocked that a dev has not even bothered to post in this thread. Seems an issue worth attention, if you ask me.

Uncle Spellbinder replied on October 12, 2009 02:13 to the problem "Miro Guide Not Loading" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

No issues with Miro Guide loading here. Loading quickly. It's been fine all week. Both in the Miro player and in SeaMonkey and Firefox.

USA, Windows 7, 64 bit.

This is really annoying. I've now had the "crashing upon exit" issue on three different computers (XP, SP3 64 bit / Vista, SP2 64 bit / Windows 7 64 bit). of my 4 friends using Miro, all are suffering from this issue.Two on XP, SP2 32 bit and the others on Vista SP2 32 bit.

It NEEDS to be fixed. It's not just some random thing affection a few. It's a nasty, widespread bug.

A comment on the problem "Miro Crashes upon Exit in Vista and/or XP" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Mine (all three installs of XP,Vista and 7), are default installs. How ever write cacheing is configured on a default install, that's how it is. – Uncle Spellbinder, on September 07, 2009 05:38

A comment on the problem "Miro Crashes upon Exit in Vista and/or XP" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

"And even if it was one of those basic programs, it should be fixed."

Couldn't have said it better myself. 2 Clean Windows installs here, each with only Firefox added. One Win 7 64-bit and one Vista 64-bit (as well as my wife's XP, SP3 32 bit). All suffering the same issue. Something has GOT to be done to fix this REAL issue. – Uncle Spellbinder, on September 06, 2009 21:58

Happening to far to many people. Seems if it is an external program, it would be so common that something could be done. And besides, I just reformatted and re-installed Vista, SP1 (64-bit). Other than Firefox, Miro is all I installed. Still happening. So I can't see it being an "external program" issue. Unless Miro and Firefox don't get along.

I'd love to see an update regarding this issue. A VERY nasty bug.

Uncle Spellbinder replied on August 18, 2009 14:33 to the problem "Miro Crashes upon Exit in Vista and/or XP" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Any word on this issue yet?

Uncle Spellbinder replied on August 03, 2009 19:55 to the problem "Miro Crashes upon Exit in Vista and/or XP" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Same here. Seems to be no rhyme pr reason. In my case. It happens on each exit of Miro on 2 completely different computers. Tried several different scenarios, all of which Miro crashed on exit.

Uncle Spellbinder replied on August 02, 2009 21:57 to the problem "Miro Crashes upon Exit in Vista and/or XP" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

This happens to me when I don't do anything. In other words. I open Miro, browse for a bit and close it > crash.

It just happens all the time. I've done a completely clean install on 2 different computers (Windows 7 RC 64-bit and Windows Vista 32-Bit). Crashes occur on a regular basis on each closure of Miro.

This is a NASTY bug.

Uncle Spellbinder replied on August 02, 2009 14:16 to the problem "Miro Stopped Working Please HELP!!" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

It would probably help to state what version of Miro you have, what OS yuou are running and service pack, if any.

Uncle Spellbinder replied on August 01, 2009 15:46 to the problem "YouTube Videos Won't Download" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

YAY! The 2.52 update worked. No more being stuck at "Starting Up". All the YouTube feeds I've tried, though quite slow, download fine.

Thanks for the update!

Uncle Spellbinder replied on August 01, 2009 15:45 to the problem "Miro Crashes upon Exit in Vista and/or XP" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

I know that the 2.5.2 update was not released because of the crashing issue, But I thought I'd post anyway that it has not helped as the crashing upon exit issue. It is a continuing issue.

Uncle Spellbinder replied on July 30, 2009 15:30 to the idea "Idea: Download youtube and hulu videos" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

And for me, and others, YouTube downloads are not possible from ANY Miiro feed.

Uncle Spellbinder replied on July 29, 2009 23:04 to the problem "Miro Crashes upon Exit in Vista and/or XP" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

I hope this gets fixed. I suppose a 2.5.2 fix is out of the question, but that may mean a 2.5.3

Uncle Spellbinder replied on July 29, 2009 23:01 to the question "Youtube videos don't download through Video Search" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Same Here.
