Trouble starting Miro

I installed 11.2 the other day, and most things are running just fine.
However I can’t seem to get Miro to work.

Initially, Miro was installed from the openSUSE repositories. It
started just fine, but when I clicked on the download button to get a
video it would act like it was starting the download but just sat there.
It wasn’t hung - I could still navigate around w/in Miro but nothing
would come down.

I thought maybe the version at Packman would work better, so I installed
it. Now all I get is a bouncing Miro icon when it’s trying to start up,
but then it just quits. In ~/.miro/miro-log I have the following output:

Checking for running processes, I get the following (watch the line wrap):
mkm@koala:~/.miro> ps aux | grep miro

A couple days ago I followed the steps at:
http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats/11.2
to enable codecs & such that didn’t come in the default install.

My repos are this:

1 | Nvidia | Nvidia |
Yes | Yes
2 | Packman Repository | Packman Repository |

7 | repo-oss | openSUSE-11.2-Oss |

8 | repo-source | openSUSE-11.2-Source |

Videolan repo was added, but I removed it.

Any help would be appreciated…

Same problem here.
I tried to find out if there’s any version conflict with the Python stuff, but I cannot find any useful result. Maybe I’m not common enough with this kind of software. :frowning:

I just updated to miro-2.5.3-4.pm.4.18, and everything now seems to work fine for me.
Hope this update will fix your probs, too.

I still have the problem, with that version.

FYI, there is an open bug: Access Denied
