I've been using it on my Omnia for months and the only issue I had was when my internet subscription ran out. Re-upped the subscription and it's been fine. Just tried it 2 minutes ago to see if it was still working and it's working perfectly on my TP2 and also on my Omnia. On the Omnia I've had Adryn's 6.1 and 6.5's and currently on BW's 6.5. Also had it on stock, and never a problem with any of them. Try dumping the cache and seeing if that helps. Also try checking or unchecking the sirius proxy in settings.

I tried the proxy but didn't help.. I just cleared the cache and now I dont even have the channel listing anymore... I have also uninstalled from sd card and reinstalled to my storage to see if maybe it was something from that... I'll try some other stuff... and I have just paid for another year of sirius for my car last week so I'm not expired

Capi -- any chance you might be willing/interested to put this app and it's source code into the public model, and set it up with Sourceforge?

There are several features that would be really cool (like recording/DVR capabilities), and I'd be happy to contribute as a developer.

Would LOVE the recording/DVR capabilities on here!

I doubt he will be able to open source it, I talked to him about that a few months ago. It was his plan to release the code eventually but there are legal issue with doing so....

Recording would be great, but may not be possible with current WinMo phones. A phone wouldn't be able to run C-ApiSRO, the sirius/xm stream, record and encode/compress to a usable format. To make it possible it would have to use a very low data rate probably below AM Radio.

Not tring to insult or flame you SomeGuyMMS (BTW your app rocks bro!!) But how does resco record it even tho the streams run at 128 or better?

VERY COOL, never saw that. I used their Developers Audio Control and my phone pretty much locked up. I looks like they solved the issue, hopefully it is optimized enough to run under .NET. Good find Elmer....

Nope, definitely do-able.

CorePlayer does it flawlessly. Set up microdrive mode to buffer to an SD card, and you can pause and restart a streaming source without losing any program material, or audio quality. My guess is that they are simply buffering the raw stream, and keeping track of a playback pointer in the saved data.

With 16GB cards, there's no reason to compress as part of a "DVR" capability. Raw streams can be buffered for hours and hours without making a dent in the storage.

In fact, this is the reason months ago I suggested adding a local proxy source feature to C-apiSRO -- restream out a different port on the device, or even fake being localhost stream, so that any application could connect and then add it's functionality (filters, equalizers, buffering, etc.).

In this way, capi's application no longer needs to provide the UI and other functionality. It simply obtains the content, and brokers it to some other app to act as the UI and signal processor.

In this way one could use CorePlayer to get DVR-like features for talk streaming; Pocket Player can be used to apply filters, equalizer, and even fluff like visualizations while listening to music.

All "free" in terms of C-apiSRO development burden.

What about that, capi? Please, please, please? Pretty please?

That being said... it CAN be done. Looking forward to using the "record" function. Would LOVE to be able to pause and record Sirius, more specifically... Stern!

sirius used to be free steaming.. I just read it again and it wants me to pay $3 a month to stream online even on my computer... 14 isn't enough for them... thats the problem... thank god pandora is free /uninstall greedy corporate company...
