Miro Integration

[Wombat]

Is there any way to Integrate with Miro to update the Miro database with watched programs etc?

I would like to use Miro to download TV Series and live feeds etc and use boxee to play them. This I am doing now by pointing a source to the miro downloads folder but I would like to know if it can be integrated into the database to update what has been watched and get metadata etc from miro.

Is this possible? or can Boxee be used to replace miro to download feeds instead of streaming them live from the source?

I cant use the TVRSS RSS feeds in boxee so I want to know if there is another way of doing what miro does with boxee?

This is what I've been looking for since I heard about boxee!! I also use Miro to download my podcasts and I love the way it makes them available offline and tracks which ones I have watched and not watched. I truly love the program more than almost anything else on my PC, but it doesn't handle audio or pictures or all the rest of the stuff boxee does. If you guys could get boxee to download the podcasts instead of just streaming them I would truly be able to use boxee as my one and only media facility (well of course there are those tricky iTunes store, DRM-protected exceptions).

my understanding is boxee will eventually overlap miro's feature set.

there are posts around somewhere about how they plan to add auto-downloads, watch-lists, and new show notification.

I'd love this, Miro rules and besides my browser is the one program that is almost always running.

I agree. This would be very handy indeed.

I can't give you the exacts on how to do this (I'm at "work" right now).

1. Start Miro automatically when your machine starts (minimized).
2. I believe you can get Miro to automatically download the shows you subscribe to.
3. Point Boxee to the download folder as a video source.
4. Open that source in Boxee
5. Open beer.
6. Relax!

Agreed. I'm using Miro videos in Boxee already. Works fine.

Has anyone looked at boxee syncing with Miro "database"? So that Miro running on a desktop machine will be updated to say the show has been seen if it has been watched on the boxee HTPC. Providing that information is available and they are both pointing at the same download directory.

My Python is limited, but I may try and have a look at doing this over the next couple of months.

Miro 2.0 has just come out and I have to say I love it and what they're doing over there.

I love Boxee too. They happily coexist in my RAM at the moment so it'd be nice if they could be more tightly integrated for people like me.

Same goes for Songbird actually. Songbird and Miro for quick retrieval and library management with Boxee as the frontend to rule them all.

Did any of you managed to install Miro on Apple TV? I tried but it crashes after a few minutes when trying to use any of the links in Miro interface. I was hoping to download shows in Miro and then point Boxee to it.

thanks in advance if you have any info on Miro on Apple TV

Lets start a vote to see what people think of the idea. I think its the next logical step for Boxee and Miro to work together. What does everybody else think?

I don't understand why this isn't one of Boxee's top priorities, Miro is the leader in internet media gathering and Boxee is the leader in content user interfacing. Please please please Boxee start to work with Miro.

This sounds great to me, but if Boxee can one day download podcasts itself, I'm happy waiting for it.
