[rms@nietzche ~]$ rpm -qi Miro Name : Miro Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.2.4 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 2.fc9 Build Date: Sex 18 Jul 2008 22:49:59 WEST Install Date: Dom 03 Ago 2008 19:49:04 WEST Build Host: x86-5 Group : Applications/Multimedia Source RPM: Miro-1.2.4-2.fc9.src.rpm Size : 22429793 License: GPLv2+ Signature : DSA/SHA1, Seg 21 Jul 2008 21:56:28 WEST, Key ID b44269d04f2a6fd2 Packager : Fedora Project URL : http://www.getmiro.com/ Summary : Miro - Internet TV Player Description : Miro is a free application that turns your computer into an internet TV video player. This release is still a beta version, which means that there are some bugs, but we're moving quickly to fix them and will be releasing bug fixes on a regular basis. Not a livna version, neither the current libxine. Both RPMS are from Fedora. The thing is that I think flv is a container (I might be wrong) but the codecs within may be (or not) supported. With Miró, though, most problems I had were of reaching a youtube server whose DB replica doesn't yet have the video I searched :) Rui -- You are what you see.
