I decided to clean up and post instructions for doing this on my blog.

Hopefully some of you find it useful.

The real credit goes to jtyrrell and m00s3computer.

Where do I find the stream address of the channel I want?

I followed the instructions from the link,blog, Mike_L posted above, but got to the point of needing a stream.

Also, how do you restart (launch) sipie agin?

The stream is usually the name of the station you want to listen to. For example, thevault or octane, it is always lower case and if it is composed of two words there is normally, but not always, and underscore between the words.

Sorry about the omission.

PS. you have to hit ctrl+c to exit sipie in order to restart it.

I'll update the blog post.

Thanks Mike L (and the other developers of the process) for this very useful feature!! I finally got it to work after having some initial problems with the install of BeautifulSoup (kept giving me space shortage error even with 90MB free on the device memory - I unpacked on pc and copied the files over manually).

To run it, I open xterm, then I have to become root (won't run if I don't - is this right?). Next I enter the command MyDocs/sipie/sipie.py
Then I get the prompt "Enter stream:", which I enter, and after 20-30 seconds, that channel is streaming. Good work!

Just wondering why I have to be root for it to run? It's a minor point but it would be nice to make it simpler to start (guess I'm wishing for a gui!)

Thanks again for a really great application!

I have the root problem too. I spent a couple of hours playing with the permissions but, I was never able to get around it.

The 20-30 second pause is the buffer building. You can try changing the value to speed it up. You can try changing the value in the cliPlayer.py script to try and speed it up. To low and it will start to skip.

Has anyone tried using the sirius firefox plugin with the moble firefox browser? I know that browser only works with a keyboard at the moment so you need an 810. All I have is an 800.

anybody know how to re-enter the id/password?

i tried it with a temp id first, and now i have a real id.

I believe the login info is stored in the config file. If you open xterm and do a "cd .sipie" (it's one of those hidden directories; /home/user/.sipie if you become root in xterm), you will find the config file, cookies.txt, and possibly playlist. Try deleting the config file and I believe you will be prompted for the login info. It may be that the login info is also stored in the cookies.txt file, I can't recall.

yes i found it, but it still doenst seem to work right, apparently, if you log into sirrus radio from another computer, you have to go thru the verification again.

btw, im working on it from another angle...maybe someone out there can help me get it to work...

i installed a streaming server, and i can access the music using regular media player. but i cant get it to work with anything on the n810.

here is a link to it (Its running on my paid account, so im only going to leave it up for awhile)
