TERRJACK First the pluses I like about Miro: 1. It still runs nicely under Tiger 2. It still runs nicely under older PPC hardware 3. It has a decent RSS and Torrent side to it. But, for all of that, Miro is plagued by even the most simplest of things that most users pull their hair out and say, "WTF?" "it CAN'T DO THAT?!?" Here is a list of top ten things that Miro needs to make it a 5 star app: 10. Drag and Drop files directly into a Playlist. I'm sorry, but iTunes has spoiled us, and the fact that you have to insanely drag and drop onto the Miro icon ( no where else) and the videos then have to be "add to Library" link checked to add, is ridiculous!! HEllo! I want to add videos that's why I d&D'd them in the fist place! 9. Organize Playlist by AlphaNumeric. Drag six videos all correctly named and numbered into a playlist from the library, and watch Miro freak out and put them in random order. again, c'mon....! 8. Be able to select the Playlist and just initiate playback. Again iTunes lets you select a list, hit play, you get the list playing in order. Paying attention yet....? 7. Be able to have the videos play one after another without remembering to set a 6. Ability to Syncronize Playlist Folders to content. Add some content to a watched folder in Miro, make Miro add that content to the 5. Play all files from the start of the file, or at least give us the option. Miro plays where you left off in a file you last played, or if the file is a stitch together QT refrence movie, made up of say three smaller files pasted one after the other, it picks the last stitch in the QT file and plays from there. Hello! treat it as a new file, and play from the beginning. 4. Turn off BitTorrent and make it so we have to turn it on at first launch of the app. It is on by default, and nothing like putting Miro on an older PPC box and watching it choke because it's too busy trying to torrent, when you just want to set up playlists 3. Give us Google search instead of YouTube Search. Miro's youtube search sucks @$$...it can't find the same file within 10 mins of searching. Trash it, and just enable Google search within Miro. Just like Safari, a little Google search bar that we can use to find our content on Youtube faster and easier. 2. When You create a new Playlist, have the Playlist organize in Alpha-Numeric Order! nothing like having a playlist called "Zebra Fun" and then create a new playlist called "Bat-Thing Playhouse" and the "B" playlist just jumps in behind the "Z" playlist. again, iTunes spoiled us on this.....You create a new Playlist, iTunes alpha-numeric organizes the Playlists. Even an option click to just "Sort Playlist by Name" would Make Miro play Video_TS folders on the Hard Drive! Even if you have to incorporate VLC!!!!!!!
