+Gstreamer is the default video renderer for Miro. Gstreamer requires additional
+python plugins to extend video and audio capabilities.
+
+For good codec support there is gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad, gst-ffmpeg and
+gst-plugins-ugly.
+
+Xine is the other video renderer. The option to change renderer can also be made
+after installation in the Video->Options->Playback menu.
+
+Xine uses the "xv" driver by default. If you find instability issues with "xv"
+then you can try "xshm" or "opengl". You can test out the driver by running from
+the command line and passing:
+
+# miro --set=renderer=xine --set=xine-driver=xshm
+
+or, alternatively
+
+# miro --set=renderer=xine --set=xine-driver=opengl
+
+These settings will stay persistent on next program launch.
+
+Note: The linux version of Miro doesn't support the flash-plugin, so video from sites
+like Hulu and Youtube won't display inside the Miro player. But they can be launched
+in an external browser. \ No newline at end of file
