This script will allow you to access XM satellite radio online through XBMC.  It requires an XM online account.  Thanks to Mike Rosack for his Sirius script, which served as a template for this effort. You need to update the RunXm file with your login and password.

 Post here if you have any issues.

THANK YOU!   It works great and I can live without the song titles displayed, I had pretty much given up on anybody making a script for this. I'm sure there will be many others who will be as thrilled as I am once they find out it's availible.

Excellent job.  I am thrilled you took the time to do this.  Do you think there is any way to get a visualization to work with this?  Or maybe keep the audio playing as you go back to the XBMC main menu.  Either way, nice job.

Love the script for XM Radio but there is not listing for channel 30 -34.  The Christian music.  Could you tell me how to alter the py code to get it to show up in the GUI.

[highlife]

I haven't tried this out, but you should be able to change in the XmBase.py file, the following line:

CODE

genres = ['Decades', 'Country', 'Hits', 'Rock', 'Urban', 'Jazz & Blues', 'Lifestyle', 'Dance', 'World', 'Latin', 'Classical', 'Kids']

to

CODE

genres = ['Decades', 'Country', 'Hits', 'Christian', 'Rock', 'Urban', 'Jazz & Blues', 'Lifestyle', 'Dance', 'World', 'Latin', 'Classical', 'Kids']

You will probably also need to delete your compiled .pyc files for the change to take effect.  Post if that works and I will post an update.

I've installed the new XBMC (8/2/05) with XM Radio script, edited the username and password in the script, but it doesn't connect.  All I get is a black screen.  What am I doing wrong?

 Is there some settings I need to updat in the XMBC initialization file?

 

[twinkler]

I changed the XmBase.py file but when I go into select the added "Christian" it doesn't have any stations to select. Any suggestions.

Everybody who likes this script just head on over to XBMCScripts.com and check out my new XMROforXBMCv0.9.1 script.  I built on the existing script to provide a much better experience.  Here's a list of some of the new features:
1. Dynamically updated genre, channel, and song lists.
2. See channel name and what's playing on it at the same time.
3. Cures cancer. ;-)

I'm still updating this script when I have a few minutes to do so.. But I'm not planning to submit it to XBMCScripts until I'm confident in calling the code 1.0

I haven't looked at your code yet but in your opinion is it possible to support the XMD1000 universal XM Direct tuner?

I ask this because wireless internet is not available in my region so I wouldn't be able to connect to the internet for my CarXBOX (Xbox modded for my car).

At home this is perfect because I have a lan setup for my PC's & HomeXbox.

What do you think?

Since I don't know enough Python to get the "XMROforXBMCv0.9.1" to work and the author (NewNole2001) seems to have given up on the project (new job and projects weighing him down), I have just gone ahead and updated the channel guide on the only other XM Radio script I know about that actually still works (XBMCxm 0.1 by highlife). Just grab this file XmBase.zip and replace the one in the original script with it (located in /xm0.1/XmLib/XmBase.py). That will give you the missing/updated channels/genres from the original release.

[NewNole2001]

Is there any interest in me updating this script?

I completely rewrote the library that handles all communication with XM's servers back in February to help with some work I had been doing for a separate project.

As such, if I were to update this script, it would be almost a complete rewrite (but much cleaner code, b/c when i went back to this code for that project I almost threw up looking at how horrible of a job I did).

Also, I now have an HDTV, so if I do the script I would try to make it look nice in both 480i and 720p.  I can't promise anything at 1080i, since my HDTV will downscale to 720p.

I just need a few people to let me know to give me the motivation  

[el pico]

Temendous interest!

[Flamez]

YES!!!!!   I have been waiting on an Update to this script!!   Thank you so much for all your hard work!!
