automatically. These folders are called watched folders.More about this in :ref:`watched-folders-chapter`.

fills your hard drive which often makes a computer crash.When Miro hits this threshold, it will stop downloading until you've
freed up some space.

will play all videos in a separate detached window.

the video you are watching. It picks the subtitle track labeled as
default. If there isn't one labeled as default, then it picks the
first one.

at that point.Checking the checkbox next to the media type will tell Miro to keep
track of and resume playing media of that type from the point where
you stopped.

another.

directly.

Because this is a beta feature and Miro doesn't ship with any useful

download more. Once an unplayed item in the podcast has been played,
then next item will begin to download.
