I installed it in intrepid and it runs, except if I try to go to HULU, it tells me that I need a later version of flash. I have the requisite version installed and it works fine in the browser, but not in MIRO. Any idea how to get miro to recognize the flash version I have installed?
Thanks for alerting me to this great application, I have been watching TED lectures all morning. I’ve found the same problem with flash as Dan Donaldson, any suggestions anyone?
This package is simply available within the ubuntu repositories no ? What is the problem with this default-package, other then the fact it might not be entirely up-to-date (but will be in 2 months) ?
You could make things easier on people if you instructed them on the command line to use:
sudo su
echo “deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/linux/repositories/ubuntu jaunty/” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Just quicker than having to open gedit. Just a suggestion. Other than that, keep up the good work. Love your articles.
I second what Joshua said, i’ve been using miro from the repositories for months and haven’t seen any issues with it. Why not just use that one?
