People,

I have had a number of hassles with Miro - mostly to do with trying to  
sort out problems by looking at the sqlite DB directly but it has  
crashed so thoroughly now I want to replace it with a Ruby program. I  
have written a little script which can look at the Miro download  
directories and allow me to select a video file and play it with a  
system call using mplayer. Of course there would be a lot of other  
things to do before it could replace Miro but before I start hacking -  
has anyone else been looking at something like this or thinking about  
it?

Thanks,

## Phil.
