Download Miro 1.2.1

Miro is an application that allows you to download and play video files. It contains a number of ‘channels’ as standard, also known as podcasts or RSS feeds, which you can expand yourself with your own sources or by using the Miro Guide, which currently contains around four thousand channels. For more information, we refer to this page where Miro’s features are covered and to this page where to watch a demonstration. The developers recently released version 1.2.1 with no list of changes.

What’s New in the Miro Guide

The Miro Guide is an integral part of the Miro experience. The Guide has had a couple of big updates since the last release of Miro.

• Personalized Recommendations: rate channels and get personal recommendations of other channels you’d like. It works great!
• ‘Archival’ indicator: when a channel hasn’t updated in a few months, we mark it as ‘Archival’ so you’ll know that it’s getting a little stale.
• The channel display page has been totally redesigned.
• Nearly 4,000 channels now available!
