Re: Sirius on N800 via sipie
 

Damned be all those people and so called "services" showering earth and its plants, animals and humans with radiation and electric waves, degenerating genotypes, polluting the transcendental space and making brains hurt with their satelites.

Ok, I'm just jealous that here in Europe there's none thing like Sirius Radio. Also, I find it a freaking coincidental miracle that the N800 hardware can pick up its frequency, but it seems to work. Well, just jealous.:rolleyes:

Re: Sirius on N800 via sipie
 

i dont think N800 hardware picks up any satelite radio, and the app is fetching an internet stream of some sort via WiFi. which brings me to the question WHY? i dont have Sirius or XM but i figure you have a receiver of some sort when you subscribe to their services that is much better than N800 can provide... dont they practically give you the Hardware for Free just so you would sign up? and if it's a service that you sign up to just listen on-line than how is different from other internet stream radios?

Re: Sirius on N800 via sipie
 

THey do "kind of" give you the hardware for free. For the cheaper units.

To get the satellite radio you can walk around with costs you a LOT of money.

For ME... the talk shows are the BEST. (Music is okay.) I listen on my PC when in the house... to much bother to take the radio in from the Jeep. But it would be cool to have it at a wi-fi spot.

Re: Sirius on N800 via sipie
 

has anyone figured out how to get this to work yet? When I bought n800 I thought I could connect to sirius and put in my account and listen to it like I do on my computer...

sorta disappointed

Re: Sirius on N800 via sipie
 

Any update on the development efforts. I would pay money for this application.

Re: Sirius on N800 via sipie
 

did you ever come up with a program to play sirius on the N800

Re: Sirius on N800 via sipie
 

sirius on my n800 = make it even better.

I listen to my sirius anytime I am on my computer or in my car, if howard is boring I go to a music station. or internet radio. I was holding off on buying a portable sirius radio in hopes the n800 will play it.

n900 better have a satellite radio built into it!

Re: Sirius on N800 via sipie
 

I have also just successfully streamed live Sirius to my Nokia Tablet, this time using the Nokia N810. I plan on developing a working interface for my N810, which I'm sure will work with the N800 just the same.

For anybody else that feels like hacking, I did the following:

Download the repositories from http://gronmayer.com/it/
(Warning: Some repositories must be disabled in order for Application Manager to work correctly. I installed all, then slowly disabled each Repo in REVERSE ORDER until my Catalogues would correctly update)

Obtain root access using becomeroot

SSH into the device

apt-get install mplayer python2.5 python2.5-dev python-setuptools
( There may have been some more crucial requirements, these are just the ones I remembered :( )

easy_install BeautifulSoup

Then get the latest version of SiPie, either as a tar file or svn checkout:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=541816

or the following command on your desktop machine:
svn co https://sipie.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sipie sipie

Regardless, you'll have to copy the extracted files to your Nokia. I used SFTP, but you could simply use an SD card.

DO NOT easy_install sipie.

Just execute sipie as a python script:
python sipie.py

It will go through the configuration, ask for a stream, and download the captcha file. Since I SSHd in, I had to quickly SFTP get the captcha image on my laptop, then enter it into the Nokia SSH.

Either way, upon entering the Captcha, the Nokia began to play some wonderful music from AltNation.

I'm very sorry for my brevity, I wrote everything above from memory. I am in a hurry but will be back later with a more detailed tutorial.

Re: Sirius on N800 via sipie
 

i too bought the n800 with the hopes it could stream sirius. as it was mentioned bfore there is an app called SiriusWM5 for pocket pc that works perfect. its really only a frontend to get past the authenication on the sirius site. its not a player, it actually just sends the stream to the built in WMV player. can ppc apps be ported over to linux? or atleast be used as a starting point? also, siriuswm5 is free.

Re: Sirius on N800 via sipie
 

That's essentially how Sipie works, it just gets you through all the authentification bs, then launches mplayer. The Windows version launches Windows Media Player.
