Miro 2.0 is Here! (and it rules)

Hello Hello!
Today is very exciting for those of us at Miro, your favorite open-source, world-changing, delight-providing video player. Why? Because today we are launching Miro 2.0, totally redesigned and rebuilt. (see screenshots at the bottom of this message.)
Want to get right to it? Download Miro 2.0
In a nutshell, here’s what’s new:
- A beautiful, all-new interface (see picture below)
- Browse while you watch— pop out any video to an external window (our number one requested feature)
- Miro is now faster, more responsive, uses less memory
- You can add streaming sites like Hulu to your sidebar
- You can add download sites like Archive.org or legaltorrents.com to your sidebar and download to Miro with a single click
- Improved playlists
- New compact, sortable list view
- Better audio support
aaaaaaaaaannnnd….. we’ve just launched a great new version of the Miro Guide that works even better with Miro 2 (see screenshot below).
But remember, we are not a company!
Miro is created by a non-profit organization and volunteers around the world. To realize our vision of a more open and democratic internet video world, you need to get involved.
How can you help the most?
- Send this message to your friends! Since we can’t afford to buy our way into their hearts, we need you to tell them about Miro and why open media is important.
- Translate! Only about 40% of Miro users are in English speaking countries. We need your help to translate Miro, our website, and the Miro Guide. Details are on our Volunteer Page.
- Test and code! Got chops? Join in.
- Help new users— you can answer questions and join the community conversation here: Miro discussion forums.
And don’t forget to download Miro 2.0!
p.s. Attention geeks and journalists: here’s our official launch announcement, the detailed release notes, and the Miro Feature List.
