Testing Miro r4801 on OS X. 1. Install: - only tried updating from previous nightlies, which is OK. 2. Startup – Shutdown – Min – Max: - Channel/Watched folder views do not remember their last position. Try sorting by filename, restart Miro and it will be reverted to default. - On a related note, also note the very cumbersome and extremely bad habit of resetting views after playing a video and returning to the last view. It should retain it's last state (scrollbar position, search results still there, etc). 3. Channel Guide: - Miro Guide does not remember it's last position and return to the home page after clicking another item in the sidebar. Simply reloads. - Scroll arrows don't work in the Miro Guide. - Auto-scrolling of the featured channels don't work in the Miro Guide. - Backspace doesn't work immediately as it does in Miro Windows. I have to click the page because it doesn't have focus. - When u first mouse-over the scroll arrows on either side they disappear for a short while before reappearing. - After the Miro Guide initially loads, and you click on e.g. Popular, the back arrow won't work. For consecutive click-troughs it will work, as well as passing by Home while clicking through, but it will not go to the Home Page. This also doesn't work with backspace. - Additionally below my results of trying to use a custom Channel Guide with http://www.digg.com/podcasts some time ago. Miro Remarks: - Allow renaming of the custom guides in the sidebar, rename menu item does not work - Allow reordering of the guides, first in list should be default Behavior Wish-list: - Suppres any kind of automatic pop-ups not initiated by the user - Suppres user initiated external links and open these in Miro - Suppres user initiated actions currently spawning external loading as in using a search box - Maybe launch user-initiated javascript pop-ups (since many try force pop-up dimenstion), not links, in the default browser - Suppres launching exernal viewer for rss, as well as xml files and open with Miro, not starting downloads as to preview descriptions of episodes and then some Miro Wish-list: - A basic native navigation bar - Inclusion of forward, backward, refresh/stop, copyable url field buttons - Inclusion of open in browser button, status spinner, submit to Miro Guide button - The above mentioned submit to Miro Guide button could launch a native form or maybe even one of those shiny jsquery lightbox-like overlays where one could input all required information. 4. Search: - The Russian (?) query didn't return any search results. Not clear whether it should have yielded results. - The search box in the lower left corner is misleading since the search view sets the default search engine in between restarts. To illustrate, do a search eg on Revver, leave the results page as is, change the search engine in the UI to Google Video, restart. The default engine in the UI will be Revver. - Search Channels, it is not clear how Miro searches. To illustrate, subscribe to the diggnation feed, create a search channel for june 7, and it will find a lot of items. Did not investigate any further... AND OR "search term", how does it work? 5. Playback: - As mentioned in 2. "On a related note, also note the very cumbersome and extremely bad habit of resetting views after playing a video and returning to the last view. It should retain it's last state (scrollbar position, search results still there, etc)." - When in fullscreen mode, sometimes the controls don't appear when there is mouse pointer activity. Don't know yet when exactly since I forgot to pay attention to it, but this is probably during continuous playback in fullscreen after it continues to the next video. 6. My collection: - Once in a while there are duplicate items. Known problem. - Audio-only files without a feed should have an icon to differentiate with videos. 7. Share: - Posting to Reddit & Delicious do not spawn a new Opera tab for me. - Double clicking the Share button by accident starts playback of the video. Same goes for the Details button. This is not a problem, more a discovery ;) 8. New Videos: - There should be a way to mark videos as watched as well, since there is a way to mark them as unwatched. 9-18. Not Tested.
