I am very proud to announce that, with the addition of XM Radio Online support, SiriusStreamer is now known as SiriusXMStreamer!

In addition to XM Radio support, a number of new features have been added to the application. Perhaps most notable is the addition of the new built-in media player with title updates!

Please visit the website (SiriusXMStreamer - Sirius|XM Internet Radio Stream Proxy) or use the "Check for updates" feature of the application to try out the new version.





As always, your feedback and suggestions are welcomed.

I just installed it and will try it a bit later. The issue I have with stream_on is that it has been cutting in and out lately. I hope this doesn't have the same issue.

Simply outstanding work! Thanks so much!

Has anyone been able to get a playlist to work properly under Windows 7 Media Center (7MC)?

My ASX files get listed under "Slide Shows with Music" within the playlist section. When I attempt to play them, they only play the 1st track.

As far as I can tell, this is a bug in Windows 7 Media Center. I get the same result as far as it showing up as a Slide Show with Music, but I'm able to play every channel except the last one.

I posted some reference links to the results of my research trying to figure this out in a previous thread. Based on what I found, it sounds like the Media Center team never intended for streaming playlists to work, and it's pure luck that you get the functionality that you do. One of the inexplicable responses from Microsoft on the subject of a streaming playlist causing MC to crash was that it was "by design"...
My previous post on the subject can be found here: SiriusStreamer v1.0 beta release (uSirius Replacement)

Hey Endless,

Thanks for your previous response.

I installed the new version tonight and later rebooted my computer. None of my settings were saved...such as username, password and port. Thought you should know.

I found a partial workaround to this tonight...

Click on the playlist in media Center. The popup page will come up. Click Right to go to the "music" page". This will display all of the individual tracks. Select the one that you want and click "play song".

At least this method will allow you to select an individual Sirius channel to play.

There is a further bug, unfortunately, that I can only scroll to a certain point in the list and Media Center hangs.

I am really disappointed that they broke playlists for streaming media in 7MC.

That shouldn't happen. Try right-clicking the shortcut and choosing "Run as Administrator", then save your settings. That should hopefully resolve the issue.

That solved the problem. I think there is a way that the app can request admin permissions and thus cause a UAC popup. It is not obvious that the settings are not saved.

It's supposed to tell you if you need admin permissions upon saving. I must have broken that in this last build... oops.
