UPDATE!!! IT WORKS!!!! a little annoying with the cutting and pasting and whatnot but it def works. you will have to leave your log in windows open to keep the connection alive. it's a great solution if you dont want to use ORB.

Hey guys, I found a new way to play Sirius/XM via cli.

1. Download pyxis - https://github.com/Kasuko/pyxis and extract
2. Install python-beautifulsoup and mplayer
3. gain root access
4. navigate to the pyxis directory (if not already in it)
5. run python setup.py install
6. exit root
7. run pyxis!!

Jorg,

Thanks! I am almost there - when I launch pyxis, I do get all the interactive menus, but when it comes to launching mplayer, it seems to just keep re-starting it over and over and I never get any sound. I have tried installing mplayer from here as well as doing an apt-get install mplayer. Any ideas? I am going to try to manually compile it next, but any tips would be appreciated.

Update: I was running pyxis as root which didnt work. I existed root and ran as user and found that I needed to change the ownership of $HOME/.config/pyxis and its contents to user:users. Once I did this pyxis worked first try. I also just used the compiled myplayer available from this site, so no special compilation required. Thanks so much for this solution - I finally have Howard at work in Doha.

Hah, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. The same exact thing happened to me. Only I didn't change the permissions, I just deleted the .config/pyxis*.
