Re: XM Radio on N800?

I've looked at the XM site. Go here: http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/200...net-radio.html
and save the $9.95/month.

Re: XM Radio on N800?

Hummm not sure what would be different. It's the first thing I did after I flashed to Diablo. Once you were logged in and picked the station did you click on the musical note in the upper right hand corner? When I do that it launches mplayer and starts streaming. Previous to Diablo this timed out for me 99% of the time.

Re: XM Radio on N800?

You don't even need to load xmradio.com Even under Diablo the site itself is a little sluggish. I have just run a nice little script in Xterm since I got my n810. Less overhead, seems to work better.

Anyway, if anyone is interested here's the script. I built it for my own use, so its not very sophisticated. It will take any channel for input, I just listed my commonly used ones for my own edification.

You need mplayer to get it to work as it just basically passes variables to an mplayer command:

Code:

#!/bin/sh



USER=user@email.account

PASS=password



echo "XM Radio Player Script (^C Exits)"

echo "XM Radio Favorites"

echo "42 - XM Liquid Metal"

echo "43 - XMU"

echo "44 - Fred"

echo "45 - Starbucks Cafe"

echo "47 - Ethel"

echo "48 - Squizz"

echo "52 - The Verge"

echo "53 - Fungus"

echo "54 - Lucy"

echo  "XM Radio Channel?"

read REPLY



echo "Speed/Quality? <low, high>"

read SPEED

                                

if ["$REPLY" ==""]; then

echo "I need a Channel to listen to."

exit



else

mplayer -vo null -cache 256 -playlist "http://www.xstreamxm.com/mobile/stream.asx?email=$USER&pass=$PASS&chan=$REPLY&speed=$SPEED"

fi

exit

Thanks combatdoc! The script works great.

Re: XM Radio on N800?

Code:

#!/bin/python

from subprocess import Popen,PIPE

import string



USER = "username"

PASS = "password"



print "XM Radio Player Script (^C Exits)"

print "XM Radio Favorites"



print "202 - The Virus XL"

print "48 - Squizz"

print "83 - Chrome"

print "150 - XM Comedy XL"



REPLY = raw_input("XM Radio Channel? ")



SPEED = raw_input("Speed/Quality? (low or high): ")



if REPLY == "":

        print "I need a Channel to listen to."

else:

        cmd = 'mplayer '

        cmd = cmd + '-vo null '

        cmd = cmd + '-cache 256 '

        cmd = cmd + '-playlist "http://www.xstreamxm.com/mobile/stream.asx?'

        cmd = cmd + 'email=' + USER + '&'

        cmd = cmd + 'pass=' + PASS + '&'

        cmd = cmd + 'chan=' + REPLY + '&'

        cmd = cmd + 'speed=' + SPEED + '"' 

        print "Opening channel " + REPLY

        p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)

        out = string.join(p.stdout.readlines())

        outerr = string.join(p.stderr.readlines())

        print out

        print outerr

This may seem silly but I could not get the shell script to run so I went ahead and rewrote his script in python. It is a little messy but it makes it easier to read.

Re: XM Radio on N800?

I'll have to give that one a try.

BTW, I assume you ran it via sh? ie "sh xm.sh"
It is a shell script afterall.

Re: XM Radio on N800?

Yeah I saw it was a shell script and ran it as such. It would fail

Code:

if ["$REPLY" ==""]; then

on the then for some reason. I tried it several times and could not get it to run. I want to write a Hildon interface with a database that includes all the channels.

I had this problem until I edited the script to add my username and password.

Re: XM Radio on N800?

I decided to rewrite it in python. I had my username and password in there as well. My plan is actually to include a full channel list and add a hildon interface as well. I think combatdoc had a great idea but I want to make it easier. Possibly submit it to maemo.org as well.
