http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20 ... -miro.htmlThe Participatory Culture Foundation (PCF) has renamed and relaunched its open-source television platform in hopes of offering an "open, mass medium of online television." What was once known as Democracy Player is now Miro, which functions in mostly the same ways as Democracy Player but with a number of improvements and updates. The PCF team said that the name change was intended to reduce confusion over Democracy Player's affiliation (or lack thereof) with political videos, and that even the web site has been redesigned to give a more of a community feel to the open player.
is it competition for VLC ?
I don't think this will be of any threat.
