Comments on: Miro on openSUSE 10.3…OMG! http://screencasters.heathenx.org/blog/2007/11/16/miro-on-opensuse-103omg/ Wed, 25 Aug 2010 12:15:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: heathenx http://screencasters.heathenx.org/blog/2007/11/16/miro-on-opensuse-103omg/comment-page-1/#comment-154 heathenx Mon, 19 Nov 2007 16:38:53 +0000 http://screencasters.heathenx.org/blog/?p=85#comment-154 @gruvsyco Doing it your way is fine except that it doesn't pull up our channel graphic and info. Also, it only pulls the videos that are on our first page. You would have to add all 5 html pages to get all 45 videos. So far I have set up our Miro channel very similar to meetthegimp's. Only 2 of our videos show because we only had 2 videos on our blog's front page at the time that I added the channel. Richard has changed this 10 post setting to 30 to help with that but it did not make a change in Miro. I cannot seem to retroactively get the rest of our videos. I'm willing to bet that the next screencast that we post will be picked up in Miro (I won't bet any beer though). If you subscribe to meet the gimp notice how many channels are listed. Not all of them. Then go to his blog and notice how many videos are on the first page of his blog. They should be the same. Both meet the gimp and screencasters use feedburner to sync our wordpress blog to Miro. I have not figured out how to tell feedburner to scan old entries on our blog. I think I have everything set up correctly. That may be just the way feedburner/Miro work. I notice many other channels did not have a full listing either. @gruvsyco

I didn't use the RSS feed, I just used the URL of the blog. HeathenX, these guys have a Miro channel you might try them :) http://meetthegimp.org/ When I added, as I stated above… I didn’t use the RSS feed, I just used the URL of the blog.

I use Miro to get the Audio podcasts i listen to by just added there rss feed. I added the above feed and it shows 2 videos. I’m not sure what it takes to get it to work.

I think I am making some progress. We already had an unused FeedBurner account. I was able to use FeedBurner to link up with our WordPress RSS feed and add some meta data so that our videos will show up in Miro. I added a new custom made video button under the last three episodes on this blog. I must link to our videos in order for FeedBurner/Miro to pick it up. We hadn't been doing this. We were only linking back to our anchor spot on our website. We will most likely still do this...we'll just add an extra video link at the bottom of the blog post. (see ep045, ep044, and ep043 blog posts for video button) There are other ways to do this, I'm sure, but FeedBurner comes in handy for this sort of thing. I'm still working out some things but maybe you can try it. So far I can only get one video to show up. Add a new channel in Miro using this link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Screencastersheathenxorg Only use the above feed for Miro and not for our standard WordPress RSS feed.

Also, when I get it working I’ll add a Miro subscribe button to our website and blog.

If I open Miro and add a channel and just add "screencasters.heathenx.org" (not our rss feed url) then it will pull up all of the videos on our first page (the last 10). When I try our rss feed then I get nothing. :( I wouldn't mind getting in touch with someone who actually has a channel on Miro so that I can get some advice. Nevertheless, thanks for your help and support guys. Probably wouldn't have gotten this far without the push. Well, I tried last night without much luck.

Thanks gruvsyco. I figured that I had to have another RSS feed. I haven't gotten a chance to actually try this myself. Work keeps getting in the way. Pft! Awesome. Thanks gruvsyco.

I just did it again to be sure. It lacks all the fancy graphics of a proper channel but it does indeed work. That’s it. I just did it again to be sure.

Is that all you have to do? So it picks up the video link? I haven't gotten a chance to experiment yet so if it's that easy then I am excited about it. Really? Is that all you have to do?

I haven’t gotten a chance to experiment yet so if it’s that easy then I am excited about it.
