[slim] Re: Are you willing to pay for a Sirius Radio plug-in?
I am using V0.6.7 of the Sirius plug-in, and can effectively listen to Sirius on my Transporter and/or SB3. But when I connect a network player (e.g. Winamp 5.3) and connect to the URL http://MySlimServer:9000/stream.mp3 I do not get any Sirius radio. I **do** get playback of my server-resident MP3s.

Yesterday Sirius got rid of hash keys as part of the login scheme, which I used to use to determine if a login/token has expired. Maybe your cached login info is causing Sirius to get an internal server error. Try this (no guarantees): Shut down SlimServer. Open up slimserver.pref in your favorite text editor. Search for sirius Remove the lines for cookie, token, and tokenTime. Save file. Restart server. Try plugin again. Lemme know if it solves the problem for ya.

[slim] Re: Are you willing to pay for a Sirius Radio plug-in?
I just tried with 6.5 release and it worked fine for me. Basically the first time the plugin starts up when you restart the server it has to fetch all the channels available. To do this, it has to do quite a few web requests, if any of those fail, you have to try again. Hopefully it'll only take a few trys. In the past it was pretty rare for a web request to fail, but something changed within SlimServers networking a couple months ago that seems to make them fail more often. I've actually updated SuperDateTime to automatically retry a request if it fails. When I have some time I'll look into how difficult it would be to have the Sirius plugin do something similar. In the mean time, just keep trying!

I've gone ahead and posted a new version of the plugin. It's raining out and I was bored so I updated the http calls to automatically retry if they fail. This should hopefully eliminate the problems people have been having when the plugin retrieves the channel info. My http calls at home usually work fine so its hard for me to test the new functionality, but it was pretty straight forward to implement so it should work.

Attached to this is a zip file with a playlist for one station (101.9 FM, Chicago) it uses Windows Media. Unzip and add to your playlist folder and try playing the one station it includes. For some reason it wasn't working with the radio tune in option so I went the playlist route as it works for me. -Greg +---+ |Filename: 101 9.zip| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1579| +---+ -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

-Greg
Yes, I did have both a Squeezebox2 and a SoftSqueeze connected.
Upgrading to the Aug 10 6.5 build seemed to resolve this problem.
But I am now back to my old problem once again.
I can connect, download channel data, etc - but no stream seems to get
spit out. The Squeezebox constantly says Connecting...
In looking at the SlimServer, it is getting the song/artist in the Now
Playing section - just no audio. The plug-in seems to work just fine
through SoftSqueeze, so it is definitely something in my hardware
setup...
There doesn't seem to be any errors in the d_plugin or d_http logs. And
yes, my File Types Windows Media (built-in) is definitely unchecked...
Any thoughts? I'm close to the gun-to-the-head state on this.

Looks like you're just setting the cookie to null if the maximum logins

reached the max logins now that cached logins can last months. I'd
imagine you're probably logging in on multiple systems which cause

[slim] Re: Are you willing to pay for a Sirius Radio plug-in?
I've gone ahead and posted yet another new version since people seem to be having more issues with the channel web requests failing with newer verisons of SlimServer. The previous versions of the plugin had two web request chains going at once (one for the talk stations, another for music). I've separated these so that only one web request will take at a time. I also delayed making the song title web requests until all of the channel web requests are complete. Hopefully this will help alleviate the problems some people have been having. Please let me know how it goes, if people continue to have problems I'll have to add some logic to retry failed requests. www.abovethelaw.com/squeeze Also, I sold the domain I've been using to host my plugins. In the next few days I'll be turning over the domain to its new owner and will post a new URL for them. -Greg -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: Are you willing to pay for a Sirius Radio plug-in?
Hi, I am using slimserver 1. I have got the latest software and also the sirius plugin. When I 1st retrieved the channel data it included everything up to 101 then skipped to 108. I started playing a channel and after a few minutes I decided I wanted to change the channel and I had to back it back out to where the display said sirius then it started retrieving channel data again and stayed there. I had to shut off the slimserver and restart the software to get it past this step. Then I noticed that some of the channels were missing below 100 then it skipped from 98 to 147. Any solutions for the missing channels? Why wouldn't it let me select a different channel without going back to the sirius display. It does seem to lock up trying to retrieve the channel data everytime. Any reason for the so called lockup? It works fine on 1 channel.

The only thing I can think of is that you're trying to start a stream from a web page previously loaded before restarting the server.

I thought SlimServer did this automatically for WMA streams, but when I didn't see anything appear I assumed Sirius wasn't sending it out. -Greg Greg: Slimserver probably handles this for you. Just be advised that Sirius only sends out Artist/Song info when the song changes. So if you start streaming in the middle of a song, there won't be any song info. Later when the song changes, you'll see the info. You can see this behavior through the Yahoo widget -- it'll say Waiting for Data until it gets the info. Otherwise, if you have the Enable Channel Data option selected, it will get the current Artist/Song info from there. BTW, the Sirius Yahoo Widget guy keeps updating his software. Moreover, now he's also using an all channel feed from http://www.farmingdaleweather.net/sirius/tracker.txt as his primary provider.It's considerably faster than the itson.siriusbackstage.com feed. He uses the itson.siriusbackstage.com feed as a backup. You might want to check it out. You also might want to trade emails with PhilF -- the guy who wrote the XM plugin.

The online feed gives you portability and overall more value for the monthly subscription you are paying for.

The sound level of moving luxury cars is way over 60dBa, It has to drown out any subtle audio artifacts. 60dB + 96dB from a RedBook audio is 156dB which is way into pain and deafness.

So I get that currently, internet radio is lousy quality. But that can be fixed, and presumably will, over time, as interest in it grows. More servers, bigger pipes, the problems to solve are only investments, not serious technological or architectural problems. Sat. radio sounds like a significantly bigger problem (at least economically). I presume it's going to stay lousy quality forever (or at least long enough that I won't be able to hear the difference by the time they fix it). If their main feed is to the satellite, that's their business model. If they don't (and won't) care about the quality of that, are they ever going to care about the quality for a few people getting it over the internet? So why go to the trouble of supplying it on an SB, if a lousy computer speaker and an audio port from your PC would be too high quality for the stream? And pay money for it besides?

It looks like today Sirius changed the URL on where they stream their Internet channels from. They're no longer doing it in house-- probably in anticipation of Stern streams being offered online. As such, I don't think the current plugin beta will stream properly since it pulls from the old URL. I'm pretty sure the authentication has stayed the same, so I should be able to fix the plugin with no problem. I think I have it fixed, however, I can't test it because I'm over the maximum logins for my account today... Also, my local copy now stores timestamped cookie and token information.This should allow the plugin to reuse them when the server is restarted (this way with all my restarts I shouldn't get locked out so often).

However, the web page where it retrieves the information from can get quite bogged down and at times takes 20+seconds to respond... -Greg -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hey Greg: Great to hear you've got something started on playing Sirius. I think you'll need to pass the WMA streams to AlienBBC in order to play them across all Slim hardware. A forum member named Triode should be able to give you assistance with this. Also, in order for you to display song information from Sirius, you'll need a real time feed for that. Most folks who have made online players use the following realtime channel/song feed: http://itson.siriusbackstage.com/ There's a new online player which is a yahoo widget which is very slick, and shows what you can do with the channel/song feed and apply it to slimserver's capabilities. You might want to look at it for ideas... http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=38478 Really looking forward to helping you test your Sirius plugin. I'm not in my car much and really want to make more use of my lifetime subscription without having to sit in front of my pc! *Bradley -- Bradley Bradley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Before exploring AlienBBC I'd like to get the player working on SB2/3's. I'm kind of confused why it is not working on them and so far I'm surprised I haven't gotten much response to my questions for help. I'm going to go ahead and post a link to my current version in the other Sirius message I have in the Developer forum. You're more than welcome to have a look over there, but please remember this is just an inital version to prove that a plugin is possible. Once it's working nicely I'll clean it up with a nice interface, add all the channels (right now it is just set to play channel 1), and look into getting the track names and such to appear.

I'm kind of confused why it is not working on them and so far I'm surprised I haven't gotten much response to my questions for help. Have you tried using mplayer and/or wmadec directly (on the command line) with the URL your plugin generates for a particular Sirius station? Put aside the internals of the Slimserver code, just see if mplayer/wmadec (not to mention Windows Media Player itself) can play the URL if you run them on the command line. If so, then in theory you should be able to play it directly via the Tune In web page and SB2/SB3 hardware should be able to connect directly to the URL. But without doing the above test you can't really know if the URL itself is wrong or if there's something about the WMA stream that's confusing the WMA decoding code in the SB2/SB3 firmware.

Sorry, I should have read a bit further; it sounds like you've done this already and have a URL that's playable via the command line, though (for whatever reason) not yet by the firmware-based WMA decoder in the SB2/SB3. (I'm assuming the reason it works for Softsqueeze is that Softsqueeze doesn't advertise itself as being able to decode WMA streams directly, so the server decodes via wmadec [I think] and reencodes into either a FLAC or an MP3 stream for Softsqueeze to play.)

Yeah. The stream plays fine when I paste the URL into Window's Media Player. Over in the developer forum I posted some debug output that may be useful. This post is at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20814 I don't have much experience with how SlimServer handles audio streams so I'm not sure what to do next. From the debugging out put it almost looks as if SlimServer gets the stream, looks at it, decides that the hardware decoder can play it, and then passes the URL over to the player to play. The hardware player then seems to get nothing back. Am I reading the log correctly? If so, could it be that the URL is only playable once, and since the server reads from it first before sending it to the player that it can't be read again? -Greg -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

He'd have some sluts/hookers in the studio and badger them into taking their clothes off, while telling everybody how loyal he is to his wife. Of course, it's radio, so they could have just *pretended* to take their clothes off. I guess I'm not understanding what makes this worth half a billion dollars. I'm with you. I think Stern's program is aimed at 13 year old boys. At least, that's about how old when I was when that sort of stuff seemed funny or interesting. I grew up. I wish I had figured it out before him.

Good news: I threw together a Sirius plugin and have successfully listened to one of the stations. Bad news: For some reason the stream will only play when using SoftSqueeze. Any ideas? Does Softsqueeze support some WMA stream types that the hardware player doesnt? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong... I'll play with it some more.

It used to be the case that the hardware only supported MP3 playback, however, not that long ago they added native WMA (Windows Media) support to SB2's and SB3's via a firmware upgrade. With this said, a SB2 or SB3 should be able to play it...

I bougth the SB3 with SqueezNetwork access to listen to commercial free music, with world wide news and absolutely free of folks like Stern.. smile... and hey - I get it for free... what was your question.. smile... no seriously... I would not pay for SatRadio as I think it can not match InternetRadio - and there is no need to listen to that through the SB3.
