XMTuner
June 29th, 2011: SiriusXM seems to have fixed their legacy streams - XMTuner is working again, as good as before anyway...
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. XMTuner supports a variety of devices, such as the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii consoles, the D-Link DSM-320 and similar set-top players, several internet radio capable receivers and televisions, as well as a variety of smartphones such as the Blackberry, Palm, Android, and iPhone.
In addition, XMTuner features its own built-in player, so you can play your favorite channels right from your desktop, with no bulky browser needed.
XMTuner 0.6.3 is a bugfix release for XMTuner 0.6.2/0.6.1. This release fixes Sirius users who were still broken in 0.6.2. It also fixes the missing channel information and issues with channel tuning for Sirius 800 (online-only) channels.
XMTuner 0.6.2 is a bugfix release for XMTuner 0.6.1. This release patches around the new player SiriusXM introduced today.
XMTuner 0.6.1 is a bugfix release for XMTuner 0.6. This fixes the login error experienced by XM users after changes to the XMRO login page.
XMTuner 0.6 is a new major release. Focus on this release has been improving and simplifying features, primarily in the main UI, as well as lots of bugfixing. New to this release is the "XM Service Control" utility. This little application is the new home for the "Service" tab for users of the XMTuner service, letting you manage and configure the service as well as see its log file, without having to run the main XMTuner program. Other new features include support for favorite channels, an improved history tab that better matches the rest of the application; Addition of views (such as by category) for the channels tab; The URL builder panel, which takes the UI for generating links to playlists, feeds, channels, etc, for configuring your devices and places it in a single location, which can be hidden away when you're done with it; XMTuner is now resizable, no more being stuck only seeing a few channels; On Windows 7 and Vista, Aero glass is now featured in the UI, so it better fits in with the rest of your desktop.
Behind the scenes, the server now supports channel playlists for better compatibility with some devices and media servers, the transcoder (if enabled) can now provide wav streams as well as mp3. XMTuner now supports windows power management, and will shut down its server when your computer sleeps, and upon wake-up restart back to its previous state. Lots of crashes and exceptions have been fixed, too many to list here. XMTuner 0.6 also now supports auto-retrying your stream when there's a built-in player error, as part of a drive to improve the application's performance both in responsiveness and long-term usage. XMTuner starts up faster, is easier to use, and plays longer than before.
