Sirius on n800
 

Love the n800, love internet streams, love canola.
But is there any way to run sirius internet radio over n800? I found a player for opera browser, but will not work with n800.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Very doubtful. Sirius and XM both stream in windows media format, so you'd need a special integerized ARM version. Not much hope for this as it's a propietary windows codec that Nokia would need to deal with Microsoft to get and then modify.

Is there any DRM on the Sirius / XM streams? If there isn't, I don't see why it couldn't be streamed through mplayer if we ever get a plug-in for opera.

Re: Sirius on n800
 

There is a thread at the Siriusbackstage forum which mentions the TVersity Media Server (free) which will enable you to stream Sirius Internet music to devices such as the Sony PSP Xbox, and N800. That's how I found out about the N800. However, I never really had a need to try the software because the local Sirius repeater works so well where I live.

Maybe you can give it a try and let us know how it works!

I downloaded both softwares, but I must leave for work now. :mad:
I'll try this tonight and let you know.

Sirius for the N800 would be awesome!
Thanks for the information tip!

I hate it when work gets in the way of fun! :cool:

I hope it works!

Re: Sirius on n800
 

Forgive my ignorence. So I should install TVersity on the n800; or the main computer where the wireless is based? Any idea how to install TVersity on the n800?

Thank you for the link though. Would be great to stream Sirius where no computer, or satellite radio is available.

Thanks again!

Re: Sirius on n800
 

TVersity is install on the main computer.

Re: Sirius on n800
 

It works.
Install both programs as stated and keep them running on your computer.

On the N800 type "http://198.xxx.x.xx:41952/medialib/browse" in the web browser.
(198.xxx.x.xx is your computer's IP address)
Here, you can browse the Audio Urls that you added to TVersity aquired from uSirius.

Re: Sirius on n800
 

Okay. Just a few questions.
So I installed TVersity and uSirius on my main computer - that is hooked up to the wireless router. I started both. I loaded the URL from uSirius onto TVersity. I click on the TVersity for 'sirius' and Sirius Hits 1 is playing in the windows media player.

First issue: I can't seem to change channels on uSirius. They do load, and I click on other channels and press 'okay' - but still plays only "hits 1", and won't give me any other URLs to try and load into TVersity.

Second issue: On my computer. All the IP addresses I can find start with 192 - I can't find any with "198.xxx.x.xx .. .. So I am not sure what to put in for the 'x's' above in the n800 web browser
okay - I did find a "192 address" on uSirius - and uSirius says:
"19:58:56 - Listening at 192.168.2.5 on port 19080."
I put "http://192.168.2.5:41952/medialib/browse" into the n800 URL space - it just returns - " . .. did not match any documents"

Forgive my noobness. I know it is probably just a few simple things to get everything to work. Seeing the uSirius load all the channels, and then not letting me change tham is probably the most frustrating.

Whatever help you can give would be great. Thank you thank you thank you

Re: Sirius on n800
 

Okay - well, have made some progress. Canola runs TVersity, and uSirius no problem. So the main issue is how to change channels on uSirius. Or see what the URLs are for the different channels, and then add them to TVersity for Canola to see? Does that sound right?

Re: Sirius on n800
 

Alrighty - well, evidently - each URL in uSirius has a section ". . .*&r . .. "
where * represents the channel number. So that if I change that * in each URL for each channel, then canola will play each channel.
So I think we are good.

Four words for alvindd - "You are the MAN!" -

thanks again

Re: Sirius on n800
 

Do I have t have a subscription to sirius first? If so which one... internet or regular?

Re: Sirius on n800
 

First: Are you "copying" the URL provided by uSirius from the channel you like,
and then "pasting" into TVersity Audio URL?
