Watch internet videos like you watch TV
Miro is defined by its developers as "the open-source Internet TV platform". In fact, it aims to bring together a community of broadcasters to create, what it calls, an 'Internet video ecosystem'. But besides all these elaborate definitions, Miro is simply a great application to watch online videos.
Miro uses open protocols to let you subscribe to video channels and video blogs that are fed in via RSS, and uses BitTorrent to download the files. You can also watch videos from Youtube and Dailymotion, or use it to subscribe to a Youtube channel you like, for example. Miro supports video playlists and can resume playback just where you stopped. You can even watch those videos on a separate window while you keep on browsing Miro's Guide
This guide is actually a welcome one, as it helps you get started with Miro and also lets you search and browse the various channels effortlessly. Not only can you browse through the existing channel list, but you can easily add new channels to the sidebar simply by clicking a button to subscribe. There are more than two thousand channels available, and all of them are free. Beware, however, that the video quality may vary from one channel or video source to another, and that there may be video services that are not available in your country.
Miro is a perfect example of how video content from different sources can be integrated into one single application and served directly to your PC in a fast, easy and elegant way.

Very Limited Video Player With Very Limited File Sharing.
Miro is a good open source video player if you can get past the fact it doesn't play as many different types of files as the likes of VLC. It's file sharing is also pretty basic as you can't just download anything you want. While you can watch videos on there from other sites, Boxee does a better job of it and is more feature rich overall. The downsides to Miro is it isn't great at anything but it's not horrible at anything either. It has a little bit of everything but not enough of anything. It also has been known to freeze up and hog resources.Anyone who wants a full package are better off downloading VLC, Boxee and BitSpirit rather than go with Miro. I don't recommend Miro until Miro decides what it truly want sot be rather than a little bit of everything yet limited in everything as well.
Pros:
Plays Videos
File Sharing
Watch Videos On Miro
Free
Cons:
Very Limit File Formats
File Sharing is too limited
Boxee Does Better At Watching Online Videos More
