as of 4-2-05 xm radio made available for free their xm radio online service. now the way it currently works is you have to log onto their site and open a flash window that has the entire interface. what I am wondering is there a way to somehow extract the channel streams from this flash interface and incorporate them into an xbmc component effectively giving a xm radio subscribing xbmc user a way to get xm on their xbox?

Have they publicly released all the protocol information?

I'd love to see this happening, but I'm not sure it will anytime soon.

why would you want it through the xbox anyway? do you enjoy hearing it through your TV's 20 watt stereo speakers?

if you have a nice home theater system, i can understand your logic, but you can easily hook it up w/o xmbc: ( http://www.800stereo.com/prods/delphi-skyfi-sa10004.html ).

if you lack a home theater and you only have basic tv speakrs there's no reason anyone would want XM thru XBMC and thus no incentive or necessity to bother implimenting it.

um yes http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Onkyo-Home-...roductDetail.do
I have a home theater and I dont really want to shell out the money for another xm receiver, or the extra monthly fee that xm would charge for said reciever espescially when xm is giving its xm online service free to all xm subscribers.

and dont the majority of people hook up their xbox's through a home theater of some sort or why else even use xbmc?

you would need to create something lie Kmlbrowser.. but since the service overall isnt for free.. i dont think developers arent going to be interested in this.. but I subscribe to a online tv service and they give me individual mms:// URL for each channel.. I just need to login to their webpage and I can watch the stream with xbmc..

yeah I asked this question awhile back and got no response. I believe I am going to try a wireless audio transmitter. http://www.usr.com/products/device/p-devic...asp?sku=USR6003
not an ideal solution but it should work.

couldn't you use LinksBoks or Xdsl Linux/Firefox internet explorers? Or am I missing something. Internet radio through XBMC is practically the same as XM, cept for Opie and Anthony. I have XM and love that online is now free. Liquid Metal got cancelled and now it's online exclusively, sweet deal! I have my Xboxes hooked up to my home stereo and it friggin rocks. Shoutcast 500 streaming internet radio and the ability to record it to the HDD is unbelievable.

Shoutcast radio and recording to your harddrive is sweet, but I wan to know can it be recorded to your computer harddrive while splitting the mp3 files like xbmc does? Also what program could do this?

I tried to get into the meat of this yesterday. All the links to all of all of the radio streams are embedded inside of a flash .swf. Anybody have any flash decryption/reverse engineering tools - lol.
