-I also lament the loss of SiriusXM in the LMS ecosystem. I've tried a couple of other options.
1. The wavin plughw plugin allowed for the possibility to stream through LMS an analog input. Since I'm using Raspberry Pi's for everything, I had to add a USB DAC that I could configure to accept an analog input as if it were a microphone input on the device. I then connected it to an old tablet running the SiriusXM app and I could stream it to my players (all Raspberry Pi's using the excellent picoreplayer software). It worked, but the sound was not great and I had to access the old tablet to change the station. 2. What I use now is something I put together that was a bit of a kludge of various pieces. I discovered a simple python script at Github that will create a server that will stream SiriusXM in the HLS format (using your user id/password) when the LMS requests a stream (i.e if LMS requests http://raspberry pi IP:9001/26.m3u8, the Pi will begin streaming Classic Vinyl). I run that in a terminal window on a Raspberry Pi I access via VNC. I then installed the PlayHLS plugin for LMS. I created several favorites in LMS for all the stations I listen to and can select them directly in LMS. The sound is pretty good. The problem with this setup is the stream continues even after stopping the playback in LMS. I have to close the terminal on the Pi to stop it from streaming. It was all a bit complicated, but it works for now until something better comes along (ickStream?).- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alnames's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63118 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105328 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
