I've been able to play SiriusXM through particular "squeeze" players - specifically my RaspberryPi's running piCorePlayer and the ShairPort function. I also am using an old iPhone with the SiriusXM app, and use AirPlay to then stream to my player. There may be a ShairPort plugin on LMS which allows all Squeeze players to be accessible via ShairPort/AirPlay - but I'm not sure. But at least I do currently have access to SiriusXM content on a couple of my Squeeze players. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105328 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
