I am looking for a fix for the pause in sirius internet music that occurs when it senses no activity at your computer after an hour or so. I pump sirius internet throughout speakers in my home and don’t like having to run to the host computer to hit: “Click here….” to relaunch the music. Does anyone have a fix for this? There was a fix for AOL when they had a similar setup. Thanks Carm

I looked into this a while ago and here’s my experience…

1…I never got sipie to work. Ever. Tried for hours. Even got to the point where I typed in my username and password and then BAM it crashed.

2…I just use the sirius firefox plugin. You can search for it on the firefox add-ons website. It always works but it appears it hasn’t been updated in a while. Only downfall from what I can tell is that it doesn’t show “Now Playing” info. But this is my favorite (and easiest) recommendation.

3…download the MediaPlayerConnectivity firefox plugin from the plugins site. What this does is allow you to launch embedded video/audio from a website into an external application. When you log into sirius without it, the sirius player will come up but will not play because it starts looking for a suitable plugin (to play asf, I think. Can’t remember. It’s some stupid windows online streaming codec. Anyway, firefox won’t find a suitable plugin). If you install MediaPlayerConnectivity and come back to the sirius player, when it looks for a suitble plugin you can just cancel that. Look at the sirius player and the MediaPlayerConnectivity plugin will be there. Then you can click on it and it will launch the stream from whatever external player you have set up (mplayer, xine, etc). You may have to mess around with what players work for you. If I remember correctly, it didn’t work for me in mplayer but it did work in xine.

[...] If you’re a SIRIUS Satellite Radio subscriber did you know that you can listen to SIRIUS from your computer for free? No you didn’t, because I used to work for SIRIUS, and I remember specifically that no one ever did. Anyway, SIRIUS only supports means to do this (predictably) via Windows. Fortunately, Mike Lewis at packratstudios.com released this tutorial last March, showing us how to listen to SIRIUS (assuming you have an account) on our Linux or OS X systems. It looks like there may be several other methods floating around the web as well. I haven’t had the chance to test this myself, but here’s the link: packratstudios.com/index.php/2008… [...]
