Miro argues for Video RSS feed
Internet TV application or video platform Miro, which was formerly known as Democracy Player, has posted a new page that attempts to convince its reader to use Miro and Video RSS for open video distribution. The page described as Quality, Compatibility, Choice: Why Video RSS Matters , which can be read here. The web page is a mixture of blurbs and images promoting the advantages of Video RSS feeds. And it argues for the use of Video RSS.
The page begins with the three advantages of Video RSS: (i)Quality, (ii) Compatibility and (iii) Choice. And progresses further to specific advantages for video creators , video hosting services and viewers.
Here is the actual text without the graphics expounding the three advantages of the Video RSS:
Quality
With video RSS and BitTorrent support you can deliver HD quality videos that simply can’t be streamed on the web. For well-produced content or more thoughtful video, TV quality or higher resolution means people will actually want to lean back and watch a show. Anything longer than a 5 minute clip starts to gets tedious in a web page…
Compatibility
The beauty of an open standard like video RSS is that you make it once and it works with any feed reader. Any feed that works in iTunes (a “video podcast”) will also work in Miro and other RSS players…
ChoiceAs TV moves online, we have a chance to make a system that’s more open and democratic than ever. There’s no reason that internet TV should continue to be controlled by a small number of corporations. We can do a lot better. A video RSS feed gives you the freedom to use any video hosting setup and gives your viewers the freedom to watch your videos from any video RSS reader. [Source]
Miro converts any video RSS feed into a channel that can be used to view video. More information about Media RSS Feed Specifications (Miro compatible) can be seen here.
