Many people have streamed their XM and Sirius radio from their computers to Chumby via Slimeserver, but no widgets have been made.

see the following link:

id like to see an official Sirius/XM plugin.. The problem with reading the streams (least from Sirius is they autodisconnect after an hour or so of inactivity (changing channels, etc).... if they worked with the manufacturers, they could possibly could make a sweetheart deal and offer the internet streaming of both XM and Sirius similar to the Sonus Zoneplayer having Sirius....It be a cheap way to sell sat radio to all the Chumby people since they dont need additional hardware (most sat radio services have a corresponding internet streaming service;)

Well, since I have no flash experience the chances of me being able to make one is slim.  Anyone else willing to work on this?  I wouldn't think it would be too difficult.  Or would it be easier to add it to the music section under the Control Panel?

You could simply click on XM/Sirius Radio and enter your username and password.  Kind of like how you have to enter info for SlimServer.

I've been looking this afternoon on how to make this happen.  I found this website:

http://forums.tversity.com/viewtopic.ph … e6cf5c1412

Which talked about using this URL: http://www.xstreamxm.com/mobile/stream. … speed=high
to listen to XM streams.  You just need to put in your correct username and password. 

Except when I tried to add this as a stream on Chumby it seemed like there must be a limit on the amount of text you can enter because it stopped about right after password.  Is there a limit?  Even if there wasn't would this work??

So even if someone made a widget for it you don't think it would work?

I've been unable to get the XM streams working through my OS X based SlimServer, due to the lack of WMA codecs. You can apparently get the codecs for Linux, but I haven't figured out if/how those can be used under OS X.

With those codecs, SlimServer would convert the streams into something the Chumby could play.

Bummer.

For me, SlimServer is always running on my mini. (It's basically the house server, on a UPS with a big external drive and the printer. So it's always on.) On OS X, SlimServer integrates with iTunes, sharing the playlists.

Once you've started playing a stream, which does involve telling the SlimServer to start it up, the stream itself just pauses if I stop playing it on the Chumby, or any other client. (Like the Phoenix WiFi radio I picked up at CompUSA for $60 as they were closing it down.) If I start the Chumby playing it again, the stream will pick up where it left off.

So, it's not like the stream is "playing". The SlimServer software is just waiting for the client to reconnect. It's not hogging bandwidth in the meantime.

I run a uSirius server on one desktop at home and stream Sirius all over my house.  It never times out either.  Great little bit of software, and I can stream to my Roku without problem.

Any chance of getting these streams to Chumby?  Two type of urls are given by the uSirius server.  Here are examples:

mms://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:19080/streams/stream?bandwidth=high&num=100&r=12059xxxxx

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:19080/asx/asx?ba … 12059xxxxx

I agree completely.  One of the key reasons I asked for a Chumby for my birthday from my wife was because it seemed from the forums that I could listen to my Sirius on my Chumby.  I've tried using SqueezeCenter with no luck. SqueezeCenter sees my Chumby and vice versa, but I can't get anything to play.  I am really disappointed.
