Hello !
Miro 2.0 (a great podcasting application) was released few days ago. On the website they say that the packaging of Miro for OpenSUSE is maintained by Packman. But unfortunately Packman only provide Miro 1.2.8 and only for OpenSUSE 11.0.
Is there a way to get Miro 2.0 for OpenSUSE 11.1 ?
Thanks
It is available on OBS. Use the search function top RH corner in the get software section

I should have check the “Get Software” part of the website again before posting.
Thank you !
the obs version did not work for me

Hi,
i think i found a quick solution for this problem.
Just change the following line of the file
/usr/local/bin/miro
from
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9 miro.real “$@”
to
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/" LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9 miro.real “$@”
This should do the trick.
After changing that, miro runs as smooth as silk on my 11.1 system.
best regards

Nice one Beo, that works a treat now for me.
The only difference on my istallation is that the miro file is this directory: /usr/bin/miro
rather than here: /usr/local/bin/miro
**** my mistake.
i didn’t double check my self compiled version with the RPM from the repo. After endless hours of trial and error i was so delighted that it finally worked…
Thanks for the advice.
and of course for x64bit installations it is:
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=“/usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9/” LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9 miro.real “$@”
beowulf32, thanks for sharing the fix!
The missing Miro was the biggest disappointment in oS 11.1!
@google01103:
thx for the 64bit version
@rs3york:
you’re welcome
After fiddling aroung a bit with the sourcecode i found a solution to fix this issue during compile time:
Just change line 307 from the setup.py
from
runtimelib = "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=%s " % xpcom_path
to
runtimelib = "MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=%s LD_LIBRARY_PATH=%s " % (xpcom_path , xpcom_path)
I submitted this already to the miro bugtracker.
greets
beo
I still cannot get Miro to compile correctly. I’ve tried various builds already, but none of the builds work.
When trying run.sh I’m given the following output…
~/Desktop/Miro-2.0.1/portable/util.py:38: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
import sha
libtorrent-rasterbar not installed on this system.
using boost_python
using boost_filesystem
using boost_date_time
using boost_thread
Trying to figure out xpcom_lib, gtkmozembed_lib, and xulrunner_19 values…
Can’t find libxul, xulrunner-xpcom, mozilla-xpcom or firefox-xpcom
…However, libtorrent-rasterbar is installed, as well as most of the rest of these libraries and extentions. Any help here would be nice. ty
yesterday or today Packman packaged it, did you try their rpm?
Yes, I did it d’lds nice but won’t play some .mp4’s plays others & has no sound on same played or not, seems to play .wmv’s okay though.
A question to those of you that used the OBS version:
After changing the stated line(setup.py307) do your installs have these problems with no sound on .mp4’s & playing of most but not all .mp4’s?
As glad as I am to have the package at last, I have some serious problems.
I never touched my ~/.miro directory so that when the package for openSUSE 11.1 became available it could just pick up the old database and get going. Not only did it forget the feeds I had, but it also forgot the names and locations of gigs and gigs of videos I had downloaded the last time it was working, in 11.0 in December. The files certainly still exist but they have the cryptic file names that the server gave them, any human-readable names depended on Miro. I am furious, now I have to download them all over again, if they even still exist, to get Miro’s metadata about them (name, channel, tags etc.)! >:(
Angel,
I wonder if it might be possible for you to re-install 11.0 & then use the miro 1.2.8 in 11.0 to recover your gigs of stuff. Then once there move those files to another folder in your /home ?
Once that’s done re-install 11.1 or just keep 11.0 until 11.2 ?
Also does anyone else have the same problem I have or any idea for a fix?
good thought but a bit messy, how about a variation - instead of reinstalling 11.0 install 11.0 in a virtual machine (virtualbox or vmplayer) - same solution but 11.1 is left intact. Access the files thru the shared folder.
Similar would be running the livecd for 11.0 or adding a new partition and installing 11.0 there.
Yes it’s messy, I keep forgetting about virtualization as you can see goog it’s not my 1st thought. The reason it’s not my 1st is I’ve had bad experience with it, but I realize it’s likely just me.
Angel please try google01103’s way 1st.
Now back the problem I tried the fix in post 9 but the Miro I have still doesn’t play .m4v’s or anything podcast related. I can dl’d them then play them in Vlc or xine. Miro also will not play flash videos saying I need the flash plugin:\ What is up with that? I have the 64 plugin from Adobe. Yet Miro will play .wmv’s no problem, I could not find any other extension like mpeg, so i don’t know about them.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, time to crack open VirtualBox.
But isn’t it too late? I’d suppose that using this version of Miro overrode the old database + configs that contained knowledge about the videos I had previously downloaded. I’m not really sure that installing 11.0 in a VM could help 
besides, it’s not really an openSUSE problem as much as a Miro problem.
