Because Miro is the client for a video publishing platform that allows content providers to publish video streams to miro using rss and then have miro distribute it via bittorrent. Users are then able to search the Miro catalog and subscribe to those feeds if they are interested. For video-podcast addicts, thats really great.
Its not a tacked on feature, this is actually the core feature of Miro - its a distributed video player/content provider. Not an iTunes replacement at all.
- Periodic 15y agoThis makes that BitTorrent client really make sense. Distributing video podcasts really has to be done via YouTube or not at all for a lot of people because it's such a pain to distribute the video due to bandwidth costs. BitTorrent helps, but many people aren't savvy with BitTorrent or are freaked out by piracy concerns. I'm a huge proponent of more legitimate BitTorrent usage. It really is a good distribution protocol.
