XM Radio through SqueezeNetwork

[jeffcoles]

Has any had any success playing XM Radio through SqueezeNetwork? I have installed the plug-in and have it working through SqueezeCenter (while successfully adding my favorites), but I can't add favorites to SqueezeNetwork and get it working.

If you know how, please share. Thanks!

XM is not supported on SN, sorry.

What does the plug-in do, exactly? I've downloaded it myself, and placed the directory (within the archive) "XMRadio" into the plugin folder of the SqueezeCenter, but it does nothing at all. I assume I'm doing something wrong - don't know what - but what does this plugin do if it isn't working with SqueezeNetwork?

It no longer works with version 7.1 and above. It actually shows up as incompatible. I guess we all have to wait until Squeeze/Logitech does a deal with them or the new merger gets you in

You need to open the install.xml file in an editor (Word is fine) and change the max version line to read 7.2+

The file is in the Plugin directory in the program install location.

That's all there is to it - I'm listening to XM right now on SC 7.2.

Enjoy !

Do you leave the folder there in the Plugin directory ("XMRadio")

Yes -

It's simply an edit of one character on one line of the xml file.

Your version of the xml file will allow the plugin to work with v.7.1 of Squeezecenter. By changing the maxversion to 7.2, when the plugin activates at startup of SC, it will see that it's OK to load with SC 7.2.

Had there been material changes to 7.2 that would cause it to blow up with a plugin designed for 7.1, this trick would not have worked - That's why the maxversion limiter is there - To prevent problems if you try to use it with a SC version it was not intended to run on.

But since v.7.2 of SC does not blow up the XM plugin, the simple maxversion change tells the plugin that it's OK to load it up on SC 7.2.

Hope this helps.
