Our Verdict
Mirois a complimentary HD video and spiritualist player that helps you aggregate and download web - based content so that you could watch and listen to it on your Mac . Miro is subject of regard everything from YouTube video , video and audio podcasts , to sound bit downpour and TV shows on Hulu .
To help you get started Miro offers the Miro Guide , which is basically television set Guide for your Mac . The Miro Guide is form into six video and five audio headings : Genres , HD show , Most Popular , Top Rated , New Shows , and Video / Audio by Language . ( Audio has no HD pick ) Using the pathfinder , you could take video and audio podcasts to support to , or apply the the coating ’s search bar to find the programs that you desire to watch or listen to . Once you find out what you require you’re able to either watch it exist or download it for later viewing .
While Miro is impressive , it also would behave funnily . For example , if you find a TV episode that you want to watch that chance to be on Hulu , Miro display it in its own web browser , so many of Hulu ’s feature film , like the video soda pop out , do n’t put to work . And , it ’s not possible to download Hulu episodes for later viewing . you could bypass the Miro browser app issue by opening the same video in Safari , but that seems to defeat the purpose of the programme . Also the Miro telecasting watcher often blocked the Miro interface offering no obvious elbow room to hide or move it . This made it difficult to take to the woods an episode I was viewing without quitting the plan .
While it ’s not yet staring , Miro offers a windowpane into what may be down the road for video on your Mac . It ’s television receiver Guide - like offerings and ability to collect medium from all over the web make it a compelling choice for watching and listen to media at your desk or on the go .
