We don't support or condone illegal downloading. If you can reproduce this problem with legally distributable content, then let us know.

Is the download an HTTP download or a Torrent download?

You're going to have to be more specific. What is Channel4?

Will Kahn-Greene replied on November 16, 2009 15:41 to the question "wanting to watch chargers eagles live and don't see how?!?!?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Often content providers want to restrict who gets to see what content so as to make the most money off it. I don't know if the groups you're referring to are like this. If they don't allow their content to be downloaded or viewed through the web-browser, then you won't be able to access that content with Miro.

If it's the case you can't access it with Miro, you should send them a letter and tell them how it sucks that you can't access their content with open standards and free software.

Will Kahn-Greene replied on November 16, 2009 15:38 to the question "how to download youtube video?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Lenord: There are a variety of ways you can download YouTube videos with Miro.

1. You can do a "video search" for videos on the YouTube site and then click on the "download" button to download them.

2. You can subscribe to a feed that has videos from YouTube in it. After subscribing to the feed, you click on the "download" button to download them.

3. You can download videos directly from the Miro Guide.

4. You can add YouTube as a site and browse the site. Miro will notice when you're viewing video pages and let you download the video.

I don't understand what you're getting at. Can you elaborate on what you wrote so it's clearer?

Will Kahn-Greene replied on November 13, 2009 21:52 to the question "Duplicate episodes in torrent-rss feed" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Click on the feed in question. In the upper right hand corner to the right of the feed title is a search box. Type something into the search box that correctly filters the videos in the feed down to the ones you want. It can be something in the item name, item description, filename, ...

Click on the "save search" button. That saves the search as a new feed in your sidebar.

You can delete the original feed after that.

Hope that helps!

I'd prefer donations or any other kind of steady income, too. I think the ask.com toolbar sux0rz.

You don't have to install it. Click on the "Don't install" button.

We bundle the ask.com toolbar in order to raise money for continued development and maintenance of Miro. If more people donated to PCF to fund the project, then we would be able to ditch the ask.com toolbar.

If you'd like to donate, there are a couple of ways you could do that:

1. Adopting a line of code: https://getmiro.com/adopt/

2. Donating directly: https://www.miroguide.com/donate

PCF is a 501(c)(3) corporation, so all donations are tax-deductible.

A comment on the question "Can't download KCRW's Le Show" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

This is unrelated to this issue. We're tracking this issue in bug 12101:

http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug...

We're working on Miro 2.5.4 and we just pushed out a release candidate which has code to alleviate this issue. If you want to try it out and give us feedback, that would be really helpful. You download the release candidate here:

If you try it out, please comment in bug 12101 about whether it worked or didn't work. – Will Kahn-Greene, on November 12, 2009 17:35

That's not the error that the original poster is getting. Have you submitted a crash report? – Will Kahn-Greene, on November 12, 2009 17:33

All of those feeds work fine for me in Miro on Ubuntu Karmic.

What happens when you update them? – Will Kahn-Greene, on November 12, 2009 16:33

Can you provide the urls of the feeds you're having problems with? – Will Kahn-Greene, on November 12, 2009 16:00

Will Kahn-Greene replied on November 09, 2009 03:51 to the question "miro download problem (adding sites to the search)" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

There's no way to add additional search sites in Miro 2.5.3. I'm working on support for that now while adding support for extensions, but it won't make it into a Miro release until at least 2.7.

Will Kahn-Greene replied on November 09, 2009 03:49 to the question "FAQ is no help at all in teaching how to add new sites..." in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

In the "Sidebar" menu, there's an "Add Site" item. Click on that, write in the url, and then it'll get added to the Sites section of the sidebar.

There are sites listed in the Miro Guide, but probably not that one.

Will Kahn-Greene replied on November 07, 2009 18:29 to the question "Help! Lost all data form 'audio' and 'video' > can I get it back?" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

I'm really sorry--that sounds terrible!

If you have a backup of the files, you can restore them from backup. Otherwise once you delete files in Miro, they're gone.

Will Kahn-Greene replied on November 05, 2009 21:03 to the question "Stopping automatic downloads of old episodes from an RSS feed" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

Set Auto Download to Off, stop the downloads in process, shut down Miro, start Miro back up again, and then set it to New.

Will Kahn-Greene replied on November 05, 2009 20:38 to the question "Stopping automatic downloads of old episodes from an RSS feed" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

If you click on the feed, you'll see an Auto Download drop down. Change the drop down from All to Off or New.

Will Kahn-Greene replied on November 05, 2009 15:58 to the question "Interface language in Miro under Windows" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

I don't think there is a FAQ. A few months ago, I started working on a Miro user manual, but it's been hard to find the time to finish it up:
