I can't duplicate this on Fedora 8.   Video search works just fine, tried
several different keywords, they all returned results both from the Video Search
tab and the search bar at the bottom.  

Can you backgrade to 1.1.2 to see if worked for you there?   Are you sure that
there might not have been some transient network configuration issue?

Comment 2 Peter Janakiev 2008-04-12 14:35:57 UTC
No, I cant, because the DB is different, once u run Miro 1.2 with your ~/.miro
you can no longer downgrade. 
But I did something else, mv ~/.miro ~/.miro_backup and then run miro

It looks like something in my settings from the older versions is preventing it
from working, i then mv-ed back the old .miro dir and it is not working again. I
cant get rid of my old dir, it stored many many videos and feeds, i dont want to
loose those. 

What else can i do?

Comment 3 Peter Janakiev 2008-04-12 14:37:53 UTC
I tried and delete ~/.miro/mozilla but it is still not working... 
Please advise;)

Try re-installing the older version of Miro (1.1.2) that worked for you.  

I can't duplicate this and I highly doubt that it is a problem in Miro itself,
but possibly with your network connection (e.g. maybe some of proxy) or
otherwise in the miro configuration.

Try also removing everything under ~/.miro/

Ah, so it works if you remove the ~/.miro directory completely.  So it's a
configuration issue.

Try taking the issue with upstream Miro, this is out of scope here, as it
doesn't seem to be a packaging bug:

Comment 6 Alex Lancaster 2008-04-12 14:47:19 UTC
I would ask on the miro forums etc:

https://www.getmiro.com/forum/

It's probably something buried in a configuration file.  You could try removing
them one by one to see when it starts working.

Comment 7 Peter Janakiev 2008-04-12 15:06:04 UTC
Oh, Okay,,,
I know even know how to reproduce it, it seem to be caused by saving searches.
I will send this as a bug on miro site
