Has anyone got this feature working?
I know it isn't a listed handset, but I'm sure it must be compatible, as it does accept streaming media...
I follow the instructions which says to find the "Mobile TV" tab in T-Zones, but that tab doesn't show on my browser in either Opera or PIE.
Has anyone got this, *OR ANY* TV thing working.... to a watchable level...
Mobile streaming TV....blah!!

Yeah I got it working. I used at least 2 different apps, but to be honest, it wasn't worth the effort unless you want to watch strictly news channels or foreign documentaries at snails pace.
Even with wi-fi or HSDPA, the speed of the streams is simply below average IMHO, let alone picture quality.
I've downloaded the BBCNews24 bulletin from the BBC website whilst on the train to London, which was pretty cool, but kinda OTT just to see what was happening. Not tried it with normal telly, but the other thing to watch is, depending on what tariff you're on, you may struggle to get streaming to your Ameo via 3G. There's a thread elsewhere on the forum about T-Mobile woe's with streaming and IRC and how they're locking it down for people who arn't entitled to ie (i.e. those not on WnW+ or WnW Max).
THE PROJECT IS OVER. SORRY.
QUOTE FROM DAVE (Developer)
http://forums.geekstoolbox.com/showthread.php?t=14636
Today, I have some news that deeply saddens me.
As I am sure many of you are already aware, the StarPlayr project has been retired as it is in the best interests of all of those involved to do so.
This includes all Sirius XM projects I have worked on including SiriusWM5 and all products produced by NiceMac LLC under the StarPlayr name.
While the streams and user authentication were sourced directly from Sirius XM's content servers, my server software supplied all of the value added for the system including but not limited to album art, lyrics, purchase links and the sponsor marketing system. This coupled with the clients I had developed for Windows, Windows Mobile, and the almost completed BlackBerry and Android clients are something I am very proud of.
I started working on my first Sirius XM project in December 2005 called SiriusWM5 when I grew tired of reading "Acquiring Signal" while trying to listen to the Stern Show in my office building.
It was then I decided that I wanted everyone to be able to enjoy satellite radio on every cellphone, game console, desktop and media capable platform.
I never dreamed I would later find 3 others that all shared the same goal. We decided to combine efforts and package our individual pieces into a massive multi platform offering. We formed the NiceMac Team.
While I am no longer part of NiceMac LLC, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has supported both GeeksToolBox and NiceMac.
If anyone is looking for a developer to work on a project unrelated to satellite radio, please feel free to contact me at geekstoolboxmail at mac dot com.

This has been the best Sirius/XM solution I've found. I used to use selectradio, but it hasn't been updated in years and it's very buggy. The latest version of StarPlayer works perfect..at least for me...
sounds nice
do you have a mirror? I cba to register for just the cab
Starplayer's a great app! I was going to donate to Dave for his efforts, so I'll buy it as soon as it hits retail. Thanks for the heads-up!
It's released and some added features!
Added Presets, very nice!
updated version out!
see first post
Register as another receiver.
I'm assuming this is using the internet and you don't have to register your phone w/ Sirius as another receiver. But I was just wanting to verify. Thanks!

Yes it's just like logging into sirius or xm on your home computer using the internet. You will be using data on you phone.
I haven't checked lately to see if it's been updated...hmm...
Latest Update see first post...
Where are the screenshots?
Best $10 ever spent
This is working great for over 1 month.
Anyone got a link to this? The app is not available.
Hmm... it is usually downloadable at: http://forums.geekstoolbox.com/showthread.php?t=11238 but it says "Temporarily Unavailable".
I notice a thread elsewhere on their forum where folks are having trouble logging in with Starplayr. (Running a backup at the moment, so can't try it myself) The issue is being worked on. So I suspect that's why it's unavailable and when the issue's resolved, it will be available again.
STARPLAYER HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN BY SIRIUS / XM
can someone say.. CEASE AND DESIST...
I hate lawyers..
that sucks, I loved that app!!! is there any other app that everyone's using for Sirius now?
c-apri has an app over at ppcgeeks that i've used in the past. it's kind of flaky and crashes alot if you listen for extended periods of time.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26310
starplayr was the first app that worked flawlessly. plus the album art was kind of neat. as long as c-apri stays on top of things, we should still have a streaming app. i don't see selectradio as being a viable option since they don't seem to stay on top of releases (plus it's $25 per device and not a lifetime).
i wouldn't mind using xm/sirius' website to stream the music, if the site was compatible with WinMo.
Heres the BS part these idiots are to dumb to understand... they say you cant use a third party app to stream sirius with, but Internet Explorer, or Firefox, or whatever browser you use, IS A THIRD PARTY APP. You still have to have an account, Starplayer, SiriusWM5, C-apiSRO are just ways to interface the channels, thats all, no different than a web browser. In no way is the signal being rebroadcast or given away to anyone that is not a member to begin with.
I doubt it's the app per se, but the potential value-added stuff (ads, links to purchase music, etc). They knew what they were trying to do and SiriusXM knew what they were trying to do. I'm surprised they let them get this far IMO.
I am so sad!!!!
There must be a good reason why you have made this decision.
I would like to say that I had the Blackjack II and LOVED my sirius radio that was streamed on my phone. I had to get a new Blackjack with the upgraded 6.1 windows mobile and now can't find anything to work on my phone! I am so frustrated and need help!!! Any suggestions??
You are a genius and will be missed!!!!
I've tried the C-Apsiro app and it works fine my only complaint is the music is kind of low compared to the windows media player on the phone and the tf3d music player we used to have starplayr as a alternative app but it either discontinued or started charging a fee.
is there a official siriusxm radio app out there? or any alternatives?
i've also tried the siriuswm5 app in the sticky but that doesnt connect on my tp2 and the channel list is out dated. any others?

SiriusWM5 might not be connecting today, because no online apps are working now, including the Official Iphone App. It appears Sirius is re-working all of their online content and only the Official Sirius Webpage is running now. I've confirmed that SiriusWM5, C-Aspiro, Iphone and uSirius are not working.
Dwight2001
I have used the SiriusWM5 app for quite sometime. I was not aware of other apps for Sirius out there. Can you post any links? I will search too.

sirius wm5
hello, are there any fixes to get siriuswm5 working again?
CONFIRMED: How to get your SIRIUS fix...
I just about started pulling my hair out in clumps, but I finally found a solution.
If you have the iPhone:
Pocket Tunes Radio: http://www.pocket-tunes.com/
** Not sure if it does Stern, but definitely does SiriusXM on the iPhone, no Windows Mobile SiriusXM Support **
If you have a SmartPhone/Windows Mobile (non-touchscreen, including BlackJack II, which I have)
SelectRadio: http://www.selectradio.com/
** Developer released a fix that is essentially a DLL overwrite. This method works! Delivers 32 and 128 streams, Howard is back in my car! DOESN'T REQUIRE CAPTCHA AND SAVES YOUR LOGIN / PASS!!!**
If you have a PPC (or Windows Mobile Touchscreen)
C-ApiSRO: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26310
** Developer did a 11/16 release that for now fixes the issue **
Of course, you always have the SiriusXM App for the iPhone, but no Howard Stern. I for one am personally highly upset that SiriusXM is making such a stupid move by overlooking cell phone internet users for their service. If they keep trying to sell those stupid radios, it's going to be over for them quickly.
SelectRadio has a 10-Day Trial, then you have to buy. Tewnty-five bucks, but weigh that against what the program can do and that the cheapest SiriusXM radio in the stores is about $60. Not to mention the app uses low resources (infinitely better than the Skyfire workaround) and also does XM and about a bajillion other stations. Well worth $25 to me, especially since my BlackJack II can go from speaker (which is pretty loud) to car casette adapter to headphones to line-in to pretty much any audio system... No Stiletto or portable they make will EVER do all of that.
And for the record, I am in no way affiliated with the maker of any of these apps, I just was freaking out looking for a good solution and finally found a few, including one that has me listening again. I preferred SiriusWM5, but oh well...
At least I'm listening the way I want to.
SelectRadio has a touchscreen version. The C-ApiSRO app is primarily touchscreen. The latest version should be in the post.
I used SelectRadio all the way home on my drive (30+ miles). Worked like a charm. SiriusWM5 was usually 51K bitrate. Got a solid 128K this time .
Give it a whirl. I doubt you'll be let down. The interface is a little clunky at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
C-ApiSRO latest is from May of this year. The 11-16 date was in 2008 Been using it for a while w/ no issues, works decent if your connection is good.
~Eric
Oops, I said May, it was March *sigh*
v2.0.5 March 19th 2009, which I think is the only zip. I was using it for the last 6 weeks (including yesterday) with no issues.
~Eric
This goes deeper than we may notice.
I was able to login and start streaming on my desktop today, so online is not an issue.
SiriusWM5 stopped working on my (hacked) Tilt. (I know this is a Rhodium forum, but the app is the same, right?)
I had my laptop tethered thru my Tilt using Internet Sharing. I was not able to get anything streaming thru the tethering.
I was able to access the Sirius player and get things playing through SkyFire though. Clunky, but it did play.
It makes me wonder if they detected the IP as a mobile one and that is also part of the problem, not just the coding of the app?

No. Not unless your cell company is blacklisting the traffic, in which case skyfire would not let you log on. Debunked.
The problem is that the infrastructure of the player is totally different now. It's still using MD5 for encrypting pass to the server, etc. But the stream targets have changed. This was done by XM's dev team. I actually made a phone call to product dev in NY and they confirmed it. They also simply said that 3rd party app support isn't in the cards, and that they are "working on" a player. Whatever, meh.
But anyway, stop trying to use Sirius WM5. Not only is the channel list out of date in the CAB, the code is trying to grab the captcha and stream from the wrong place. SelectRadio works. And, it gives you the 128k stream. If you have a touchscreen device, try C-ApiSRO. Most are reporting success with it.

I got an am using v2.0.5. It says connected ok (password etc.) but won't play - says "unable to load channel"; any ideas?
> I used SelectRadio all the way home on my drive (30+ miles).
that one says "no login server or bad login" next to a little green icon of a radio tower, even though I'm using the same username/password that works fine from a desktop browser. It claims it knows what's playing on each one (has a song title scrolling), but no sound coming.
What am I doing wrong?!? Do they have a support link? I can't find one on their website.
thanks,
Mike

I've noticed that sometimes SelectRadio does this, but mainly because the initial connect is timing out. The tower can be red, and I still get it. Just pick another channel, then go back to the channel you want. It will usually work fine after that. I've only had to restart the app once, mainly because AT&T sucks total ass and drops my WAP connection.
Also, make sure you put the username and password for your Sirius account in before you try a channel. Sirius customers that have the premium internet account should hear best of XM channels, but the XM tab will not work. That obviously requires an XM internet account.
Can't use the default file explorer. If you do, the tun.dll you drop in the folder will be named "tun.dll.". It will not get the extension right. I had to install, then browse to the folder using a program called The Tool (http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Developer-Tools/File-Manager/The-Tool-Smartphone-84530.shtml) and delete the existing dll file. Then, I copy/pasted the new dll file into the folder. Voila, working.
Try that. I had more or less the same problem you are describing. The dll file being in the wrong place was the culprit. Oh, and you may want to install directly to the device instead of an SD card. I think the access time of the SD card can make WinMo progs act wierd sometimes.
The nag screen is a pain, but I plan on purchasing a key tomorrow (payday). SiriusWM5 using Windows Media Player Mobile worked fairly well, but SelectRadio is holding onto the connection a bit better. Either that, or it buffers the stream more. Trust me, I am horrendously picky when it comes to my apps, and this thing will inevitably work for you.
Let me know what happens...

C-ApiSRO is broken as well. The only one that seems to be working now is SelectRadio. This is just plain dumb that none of the free apps are working now thanks to a move on the server side at Sirius.
I think CardonWare (SelectRadio dev company) has posted a newly updated version that takes care of the dll issue. You may want to uninstall everything and start over.
I did a TrialPay and chose Rhapsody 14 day trial. Got a key for SelectRadio, then cancelled the Rhapsody trial.
Total cost? ZERO... POINT... ZERO .
Oh, and I have noticed some random errors in grabbing some Sirius channels. E-Street Radio for example can't connect at the moment. Random wierdness. But Howard 100 and most other channels I try are fine. Experiment heavily.
Alright, I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 and can't for the life of me figure out how to get Sirius or XM working on Select Radio, I continue to receive the 'no connection to stream server' error. Anyone else encounter this and if so, anything you could point me towards?
Thanks!
Thanks all, selectradio is working right now on my sprint touch pro 2, listening to howard right now.
I did have to exit the app and start it again, then enter my user login etc. and it started right up at 128kbs. so far does evrything siriuswm5 did. wish it had a screen toggle on/off feature.
above poster, some screens were slow to load at first when i started clicking to the sirius tab then channel 100, i know i missed the login page and it seemed to freeze after that, i exited then reopened and went slower, now it works on my sprint touch pro 2, hope it helps, should work for you.
Sirius WM6 to the rescue!
works post-sirius-fiddling and no more captcha!

Works great. Hey Now!!! Thanks
I have noticed that some of the channels don't work, and some may be missing, apparently because the channels.txt file (in the player's install folder) has dated info in it. This can be fixed by editing that file in pocket word and saving as plain text, of on a PC with notepad and copying back over the original.
As an example, Playboy radio would not work.
If you log in to the Sirius online with a PC and start a channel in the player, the URL for that channel looks like:
. . . .sirius.com/player/listen/play.action?channelKey=playboyradio&genreKey=sirentertainment&categoryKey=cattalk&stopped=no
The section in the channels.txt for Playboy radio looked like this:
99 | Playboy Radio
playboyradio
playboyradio
cattalk
when it SHOULD have looked like:
99 | Playboy Radio
playboyradio
sirentertainment
cattalk
So you can see how you can repair broken or missing channels by first using the Sirius browser radio to get the keys, then edit the file.
cdma tp2 uscellular/ want POLITICAL MEDIA>> cspan, am stations for talk radio...
i dont want to pay anything especially month2month extra.i guess i could do an initial fee. ex of what i wont do: 10/month for mobitv (uscellular doesnt even include cspan, just "fair&balanced"-foxnews<not my cup of tea) or the expensive xm radio. i have tried using the streaming media app already installed w the phone,went thru quite a few threads: google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-2900107662879704%3Afs7umqefhnf&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=cspan&sa=Search[/url] wasnt successful. either says invaled url or cannot connect. streaming from a mobile browser would b ideal also. i have opera10 &just reg ie the page will display but the space where the video displays is left blank. i have tried installing the plugins i believe they are up to date. i have tried the opera 9mini, same result, uninstalled. just for info i do the youtube from the app already installed, not that great unless u already kno the exact post ur looking for. seems limited to me.
tried slacker radio- doesnt have what i was looking for.
im a cspan junkie and love the circus we call politics. im a conservative if it matters for other suggestions. i havent really posted, i more sit on the sidelines and observe the less ignorant. not super savvy on the more technical aspects. i can do the basics:installing apps, flashing... just not creating myself. i do enjoy this site a lot keeps me liking my phone, dont have the want like most people w reg phones to always want the new released models, so im kept content. any input is welcomed thanks and sorry for the rambling
I am looking for a smart watch. I want to be able to use it as a standalone music player and use google now. I have done my research (internet and xda forum) and I haven’t seen a good watch that meets both criteria. From my research it appears that a Tizen allows a Gear to act as a stand-alone music player but prohibits the use of Google Now/Android Wear.
From what I have read the Null Rom will let me use Google Now (I do believe) but I can’t use it as a stand-alone music player.
Have I missed anything? Your help would be appreciated.

I've been away (from the XDA Smartwatch forum) for two months and not much has changed, understandable, but 2014 will be the smartwatch year.
I've been waiting for a decent Standalone too. The new Gear S seems very good, but the battery life (two days) seems poor, because its usual half of that or less.
The inWatch Z seems like a good overall watch, but its 2G, not really IP67 (or whatever it claims to be) but its the best so far, with a good battery life.
Other alternative is to watch out for the Chinese/Shenzhen clones as some of them are proving to be better then the originals, but most usually lack firmware updates.
I've made a standalone and clones/Shenzhen watches thread, hopefully it'll be easier to spot new ones.
