Problems with XM HME (HmeSatRadio v0.09)

[KurtisFish]

Hello!

I am trying to run the XM HME through HmeSatRadio v0.09 using the XM Online backend plugin.

I think I have everything set up right -- please see my config files below. The error message that I am getting on my Tivo box is:
An Error occured while running the application. The application closed during a read. (0x50006)

On the PC end here is what I get:

Now, here are my config files:

I am using my desktop hard wired connected to my Wireless Router ip: 192.168.1.10 and trying to connect to the Tivo (which sees the HmeSatRadio plugin) which is connected via a TIVO Wireless G adapter.

Any suggestions?

Any news on this?
I've got the same problem. Setup and setting are identical to Kurtisfish.

I think your problem is this line:

SatRadioAddress=192.168.1.5:48490

The IP address here needs to be the computer that is running the backend (runRadioOnline.bat), which I think you are saying is 192.168.1.10. So try changing the config.txt to read like:

SatRadioAddress=192.168.1.10:48490

Then let me know if you manage to get the MP3 streaming working, as that's the part I'm struggling with.

[KurtisFish]

That worked great!! Listening to XM Radio on the Tivo now -- thanks!

About the streaming issue -- try copying over my config file for the onlineconfig.txt:


//Username and Password to login to the XmRadio Online
OnlineUserName=****YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD****
OnlinePassword=****YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD****

//Connection speed: low or high
#Speed=high

//When first launching RadioOnline.
//MuteByDefault will make it not start playing stream but song listing will update
//OffByDefault will make stream not play, and song listing will not update (well, at 5 minute intervals to keep login alive)
#MuteByDefault=true
OffByDefault=true

//Turn off builtin MP3 Sound Sender. Only really want to turn this off if it is not working for you.
//Or if you don't need it because you have audio cables running to your TV
#BuiltinMp3Off=true


//The Built-in sound Sender uses the default mixer to get input from. Use this to override
//the default. When you start the Backend, it will give a list of Mixer indexes and descriptions
//Use one of the indexes in the list.
#MixerIndex=4

//Location to save Recordings to. If not specified, it will save them to the current directory.
//NOTE: Recording will only work if using the BuiltinMp3 Streamer.
#RecordingsDir=/tmp
#RecordingsDir=C:\temp
LastChannel=26



***MAKE SURE THAT THE MIXER CHANNEL IS SELECTED FOR YOUR SPECIFIC AUDIO OUTPUT***

Also, try double clicking on the speaker icon in the bottom Right hand corner of your screen -- by the clock


Click on OPTIONS -- then PROPERTIES

click on RECORDING for the recording preferences

Make sure that your WAVE OUT MIX is selected as the audio output (this is what the MP3 Encoder will listen, and in turn record from -- it is listening to your speaker output)

ANd make sure that the slider is a little higher than half way -- about 3/4


Try that, or if you already have, let me know!

I just downloaded this app and i cant get the damm. thing to work. cant see nothing on tivo. so can someone give me a walk through?

[ajayabb]

I have been struggling with the MP3 streaming. Sound plays on the PC but not the Tivo. I tried to adjust the volume on the sound card; everything is turned up but I dont see a line out option. Only Wave, Synth, CD, PC volume controls. Any suggestions

set connection speed to high; otherwise that looks ok. Can you show me the "conf" text.

I finally installed this again today to see if it skips on my S3 like it did on my S2s. It does :(

Anyhow, did you set the correct recording device? Get your clicking finger ready.
On XP:
> Control Panel
> Sounds and Audio Devices
> Audio TAB
> Volume BUTTON
> Options
> Properties
> Recording BUTTON
> Wave/MP3 CHECKBOX
> OK BUTTON
> Wave/MP3 Select CHECKBOX

[ajayabb]

I finally realized after some searching, that I needed to upgrade the firmwae on my sound card which had no line out option originally
