If you are a SiriusXM user you have probably already noticed that the service is no longer available on the Squeezebox through MySqueezebox.com. At ickStream we would be very interested to offer a replacement implementation that would work on the Squeezeboxes, too. If you haven't heard about ickStream as of yet, we are providing an access service for a number of different streaming services - a bit similar to MySqueezebox.com - which is available to Squeezebox users as an LMS plugin. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98467-Pre-Announcement-ickStream-Music-Platform http://wiki.ickstream.com/index.php/Open_Beta_Squeezebox
For this, we need your help. First of all, we would like to know whether such an implementation would be of interest for you as a SiriusXM user. Specifically, a solution through ickStream would run as a plugin for LMS so you’d have to have a server running to use it. We can’t implement this on MySqueezebox.com or completely replace MySqueezebox.com as a server to run Squeezeboxes with. Second, we obviously need SiriusXM to support this, too. Here, it would probably be helpful if they were aware that there is significant interest from Squeezebox users in such a solution, otherwise it’s not very attractive to them since Logitech doesn't make Squeezeboxes anymore. You can reach them through https://www.siriusxm.com/contactus We believe that on the technical side we have a very good chance to get this going but we can’t do it alone, SiriusXM’s service is a proprietary offering and they don’t have an open API. So if you want to continue to enjoy Sirius XM on the Squeezebox, contact them and let them know about ickStream! --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104395 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
