Are you willing to pay for a Sirius Radio plug-in?

The built in WMA is disabled....

Hmmmm... It looks like the plugin got a valid URL from Sirius so it should be trying to connect to a good URL. Are you 100% sure you have the wma built in decoding checked off and Windows Media WAV wmadec checked (it is by default)?

Otherwise you could try debugging with -d_stream to see if that gives anything useful. But from a plugin perspective it seems like the plugin is handing a valid URL off to the player.

You could also try playing a stream in SoftSqueeze, as it seems more robust in playing some WMA streams.

Unfortunately, no difference on SoftSqueeze.

Yes on the built in WMA enabled and WAV wmadec disabled. -d_plugin log from SoftSqueeze below:

Yes on the built in WMA enabled and WAV wmadec disabled. -d_plugin log from SoftSqueeze below:

Wait... I assume you mistyped, but built-in WMA should be DISABLED and WMA wmadec ENABLED. However, if it's not working in SoftSqueeze then something else must be wrong.

Few questions:
Are you able play the streams on your server via the Sirius web page? How are you connected to the Internet? Any funky proxy settings? Are you a paying (non-guest) Sirius subscriber?

Yes - sorry had enabled/disabled mixed up. I have other Windows Media file types (FLAC - wmadec/flac and MP3 - wmadec/lame) - does it matter on those settings?

I am a paying customer... I will need to go hook up some speakers to see if I can get the streams to play directly from the server and I will update....

Server is connected to the internet:

cable modem -> NAT router -> server (192.168.123.x)

There are a few ports forwarded to this server, but port 9000 is closed to external access. Does this matter?

Thanks for all the help - it is greatly appreciated

I don't think the other Windows Media settings matter. In case it does, my wmadec/flac is enabled and wmadec/lame is disabled.

I think your network setup should be fine.

Did you try the -d_stream debugging to see if it offers any clues?

Greg,
I updated to the latest plugin, which required updateing SlimServer and AlienBBC...and everything worked great for about a day. Now it hangs on logging in...and can even crash the server. Did Sirius change things, yet again?

Thanks,
Drew

Did the player lock up while logging in or retrieving channel info? If so, I have an "issue" regarding this listed on the website. There's a bug somewhere in the code that's causing it. I have some additional debugging in place to help locate it. If you restart your server or do a soft reboot of your player it should work. I havne't tried the plugin today, but I don't think Sirius has changed anything. Also, with Sirius's new login/cookies it seems like they don't expire like they used to. My next version of the plugin will take advantage of this by not relogging in automatically after 12hrs.

Please let me know if you're not able to get the plugin working after a restart.

If anyone is using this plugin with Linux, can you post your experience? Specifically, does Howard 100/101 work or not?

I'm trying to determine if I'm the only one having problems...

Thanks much

Greg, I rebooted the server and unpluged the SqueezeBox. Then tried to use Sirius and recieved an "Error Logging In" message.

Sorry

Greg,
Nevermind...I needed to re-enter my password on the settings page.
