enfuego, SiriusStreamer essentially allows you to listen to the Sirius online radio streams in any player that can play wma streams. You just enter the SiriusStreamer url in the player (or UPnP server), and listen away...i never used usirius, so can you give me a brief description of what this program is used for?
i always used the sirius widget, but while i am waiting for that to be updated, i am trying out other programs (which seems to be just your new program and steam_on that has been updated after the change on the sirius side).
stimulate, this sounds like the same caching issue that other users reported with Orb. I added cache control headers to the new 1.1.0 version that should, if foobar2000 is HTTP/1.1 compliant, fix this issue for you. Give it a try and let me know if you still have the problem.I was jazzed up when TheEndless gave me the tip of Add Location > M3U URL This creates a playlist with the long sirius url and it works.
However if I restart the computer, none of these url work anymore. I am guessing that each time SiriusStreamer logs into Sirius, those new url are different from the previous session.
Is that correct, does the url for the stream change with subsequent login / logout of SiriusStreamer?
If so, I have to figure out how to get foobar2000 to somehow automatically refresh those links or I will have to manually copy and paste them each time I reboot or restart a program.
Any foobar2000 advice?
Phreaker,What extender and what version of Media Center are you using? I have Windows 7 Media Center and a DMA2100, but it seems to be DOA. I can try it on my 360 to see if I can determine the problem, but it may not produce the same results.

Phreaker,
Scratch that. I was able to get the DMA2100 powered up. For some reason Media Center is seeing the playlist as a "Playlist with Slideshow", inexplicably seeing the last entry in the playlist as an image. WMP doesn't have this problem, so it's even more confusing.
That aside, I was able to get the streams (other than the "image") playing on my extender without issue. The mms version of the playlist crashed it every time, but I created an ASX with http URLs and an M3U with http URLs and both worked as expected.
Can you provide a run down of exactly what you've tried?

koss, Have you tried the m3u version of the URLs (right-click on a channel and choose Copy->M3U URL)? When you try to access the stream from your Palm, are there any log messages displayed in SiriusStreamer?I'm trying to get streaming to work on my old Palm phone in pocket tunes. It does not seem to like any of SiriusStreamer generated URLs mms or http. I'm thinking the only way to get this working is re-broadcasting the mms stream. Any ideas? This worked in uSirius no problem (I believe uSirius actually re-broadcasted the stream instead of just pointing to the sirius servers?)

As far as I'm aware, uSirius did not rebroadcast the stream, as that could have caused all kinds of potential bandwidth issue, particularly if you were accessing the streams externally.

Ok. I bet I know what the issue is, but I need some diagnostic information before I can fix it. I'll work on an update to SiriusStreamer that allows me to capture some debug information. Stay tuned.. (no pun intended).There's a lot of log output. Would be handy if it was copyable

Not sure why 2 sets or requests. Perhaps a sprint proxy server as both IPs belong to them. In any event pocketTunes says "Unable to load playlist. Invalid URL"
The streams that were working with uSirius looked like:
mms://my.ip.address:19080/streams/stream?bandwidth=high&num=100&r=1247492977
Thanks for the help!
I'm still waiting for the reinstall of the extender to complete. It takes forever for my entire music library to rebuild in a new MCX profile. Once that's done I'll just wait to add other media later on. I'm hoping but not counting on this solving my issue... but if nothing else it can work towards eliminating suspicion that the problem is on my end.
Very strange. Hopefully I'll have a new build that captures diagnostic information soon... I've also made a minor change to the mms URLs that may fix some of the reported issues....as well as m3u based playlists.... all same results.
SiriusStreamer seems to answer multiple (usually 2) failed requests when they come from the extender.

Try refreshing the channel lineup (via the Options menu). By default, only channels I receive are listed.These are the city traffic and weather. I don't see them in SiriusStreamer and if I manually create a playlist for channel 149 ( Boston and Philly ) it says Track Not Found.
Any thoughts? Thanks
1.1.5
--------
- Added logging level
- Added ability to clear log
- Added ability to save log
- Added Edit menu to main menu bar
- Added View menu to filter channel list
- Added cache control headers to mms redirects
- Enabled default format when MMS is selected as protocolI have released a new version that adds diagnostic logging, and the ability to save the log. The complete change log is as follows:
The new version should be available via the "Check For Updates" menu option, or you can download it directly from: http://www.permanence.com/sirius/files/SiriusStreamer115.msiCode:1.1.5 -------- - Added logging level - Added ability to clear log - Added ability to save log - Added Edit menu to main menu bar - Added View menu to filter channel list - Added cache control headers to mms redirects - Enabled default format when MMS is selected as protocol
I'm hoping the cache control header I added to MMS redirects will address some of the issues users have had with those.
If you've had problems with v1.1.0, please install v1.1.5 and give it another try, preferably with every URL type. If your issue is not fixed, then set the logging level to Diagnostic (via the Options menu), attempt to launch the stream again, then save the resulting log and email it to me at the address in the About dialog.
Thanks again for all of your feedback!
