Some enhancements proposals

1. the video/audio feeds should be sortable, either by alphabets or directly up/down option for the feed. If a person has 20-30 feeds then it is very difficult to search for the feed and then play the item.
2. On closing the MIRO it should minimize to task bar or have the option to do that as any other program does.

thanx a ton for such wonderful software

Richard: does your miro-downloader.exe process exit when you shutdown miro normally? Sounds like it’s still running.

Complete installation failure, exactly the same as the previous 2 installations.

Steps to reproduce:
Download Miro-2.5-rc2.exe.
Start the installation.
Message box appears: “It looks like you already have a copy of Miro installed. Do you wnat to continue and overwrite it?” Click on OK.
Please select a language. English selection. OK.
“Welcom to Miro!” select ‘Easy Install’ Next.
Error message box appears.
“Error opening file for writing:
C:\Program Files\Participatory Culture Foundation\Miro\Miro_Downloader.exe
Click Abort to stop the installation.
Retry to try again or
Ignore to skip this file.”
Click Abort.
Miro Setup is still displayed.
Click Cancel.
Restart previously installed Miro.
Nothing happens.
Start Task Manager.
Miro_Downloader is still listed in running processes.
Kill process and its process tree.
Restart the miro setup program.
No error this time.
God awful ‘Ask’ toolbar installation questions appear, defaulting to yes.
Disabled the unwanted, undesirable Toolbar. (Bad developers!)
Installation completes and, after a great deal of disk activity for the next 15 minutes, Miro starts.

Varning, I just lost all my watched but “saved” movies when I upgraded to Miro 2.5-rc2
Miro went around and deleted all my movies (30GB) that I had saved for another viewing later.
