XM Tuner

[gelessor]

Has anyone integrated this into their Homeseer enviroment?

I haven't been able to use Sirius/XM for some time in the house; but this looks promising. I'd like to be able to have HS events open and close the program and switch stations.

anyone?

XMTuner allows you to access the Sirius|XM Satelite Radio streams (both XM Radio Online and Sirius Internet Radio) on your UPnP media player. XMTuner serves as a proxy or interpreter between the SiriusXM web radio pages and your device or media server, making the streams much more accessible.

Blade has done something with Sirius: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=140763

Doesn't look like Blades plugin will work with the web streaming feeds... (I wish it would because Blade's plugins are awesome)

That being said. I need some help in making XM radio easy for the family to use. I seems like one way to do it would be to create a series of events.

I Know I can create an event to run the xmtuner program ("C:\Program Files\XM Tuner\XMTuner.exe"). Once that program is running in the background I can then create separate events using media player to stream the content to change the channels (http://192.168.0.55:19081/streams/7/high) outside the xmtuner program.

This is probably an awkward way to do this as the tuner program itself allows you to access different stations from within and will display the "now playing" data. I'd like to be able to send that data to the Ledam sign, but don't know how to do it.

Also, how do I create an event that shuts down the "xmtuner.exe"?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
