fjhuerta - yes, on 7.2.1, as long as you have access to the 128 stream with your online account and you choose the high stream setting in the plugin, it will be 128kbps, or at least it is for me. -- jdc jdc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56497 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] 7.3 and XM radio
I'm in the same boat - its working very well with my boom except for the menu button missing. That said, the fav trick works: you can add any xm station as a favorite by specifying the station's number with the xmradio qualifier. For example, for station 204, NHL, I made the following favorite entry: xmradio://204 And in fact this actually is working better than ever - it looks like you fixed it so that I don't have to log in first, I just go to it and it works! (Good thing too, since there's no option on my boom.) Perhaps these fav's are a pain to setup one time, but after that, very convenient, and no limitations in the number of favs you can have, unlike presets. I've already made a bunch in an XM subfolder and will be listening to them all tomorrow. Anyway, thanks again Neil! -- jdc jdc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56497 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] 7.3 and XM radio
One more quick update... I turned on sync'ing between two booms and to my great surprise it seems to be working. This was definitely not the case with the old version, and is of huge benefit to me. I did experience one stop/drop this morning where I had to restart, hopefully will be rare, but I think it happened before 3 hours. Finally, this looks like a major rewrite/upgrade, thanks Neil!

Just sent in my promised $25. Thanks again for the excellent upgrade. I hope enough is raised to get you a boom to hear your plugin working sync'd! Pippin - as far as I know, yes, both sat and online are separate for the near future. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to do it that way.

It's a pretty big refresh, tested to work against 7.3-7.4, with new sync'd output, etc. Very good stuff.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XM radio plugin with 7.4?
Well, I for one I was going to add a Radio to my mix and maybe a touch also, but will not be adding it or upgrading to 7.4 until it supports XM. I know when the latest xm plugin was actively developed, it was tested it against the 7.4 branch at the time, so I suspect it must have been a fairly recent change in that branch that broke this plugin. I guess we can only hope someone picks this back up... thanks wharfrat for looking. However, definitely I agree with Corbey - ideally this either this core stuff was owned by logitech and they updated it or even more ideally, if they really wanted a real plugin ecosystem, they'd focus more on having some stable apis that wouldn't break all the old plugins on every point release. jd -- jdc jdc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68420 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I had a similar issue with SuperDateTime. I thought at the time because I was upgrading instead of a clean install from 7.3.x.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XM radio plugin with 7.4?
Neil, a very big thanks for getting this up and running again. Everything is working great for me, except that sync no longer works. I suspect this is now a limitation from the xm changes, as opposed to something simple not working in 3.5/7.4.x version? But I wanted to ask to be sure.

Hi Mitch, If I understand correctly, I think you can do that by going into settings, and then to the player tab, then choose the Date and Time menu and choose a format like: h:mm (12h) that doesn't have the pm in it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Death knell for XM on the SB?
I think its very much up in the air. I for one will be paying to continue xm online provided I can get it on my SB - still cheaper than a second xm receiver - and will be very happy with the higher bitrates. (I understand I may be in the minority, but doubt I'm alone). Best case, they will integrate XM and Sirius online services and then we can then use the Sirius plug-in. This might make a lot of sense for everyone - it will be the same bitrates, same stations (basically)... would probably greatly simplify their (merged?) online departments. If not, I'll consider trying to write a new plug-in myself, if no one else steps up. Not sure the best approach- fork from the Sirius plugin, or the old XM plugin, or it might also be cool to go the general dlna client approach, connected to uXM, which would have some other advantages. (Or maybe Vortexbox will do it!) We'll see after the changeover - worst case and I have to start coding, I think it would be silly to start until after they've done whatever they're going to do to their feeds in mid-March. -- jdc jdc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23870 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59364 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] 7.3 and XM radio
Well, I'm not going to comment on the companies financial woes, customer service, market strategy, etc. - I'm still a fan of XM and hope they stick around because I like the content, pure and simple. That said, some good news, I think, at least for users of the plugin on 7.2.x. It looks like they are keeping their existing infrastructure in place (at least for now) and the old xm plugin will continue to work on 7.2.1. They haven't upgraded my account yet (nor a lot of others, as per the angry users on the xmfan forum) but I signed up for a trial account that does have the 128kbps feed, and I'm able to log in with the xm plugin.
