Greg: Slimserver probably handles this for you. Just be advised that Sirius only sends out Artist/Song info when the song changes. So if you start streaming in the middle of a song, there won't be any song info. Later when the song changes, you'll see the info. You can see this behavior through the Yahoo widget -- it'll say "Waiting for Data" until it gets the info. Otherwise, if you have the "Enable Channel Data" option selected, it will get the current Artist/Song info from there. BTW, the Sirius Yahoo Widget guy keeps updating his software. Moreover, now he's also using an "all channel feed" from http://www.farmingdaleweather.net/sirius/tracker.txt as his primary provider.It's considerably faster than the itson.siriusbackstage.com feed. He uses the itson.siriusbackstage.com feed as a backup. You might want to check it out. You also might want to trade emails with PhilF -- the guy who wrote the XM plugin. Apparently he was faced with some of the same obstacles you've faced, and might be able to get you on the fast track. Looking forward to your next update! *Bradley -- Bradley ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bradley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
