Playing XM Online in Linux

This script, by B. Galliart, will let you play XM Radio Online in Linux. You must have curl, and either xine, gxine, totem-xine, or vlc installed with basic codecs.

Save the script as xmonline.sh, change the username and password, uncomment the player you want to use, I recommend xine (gxine, totem-xine and vlc work well also),

  1. chmod it

    2. chmod a+rx xmonline.sh

  2. Then run it from console

    3. ./xmonline.sh 22
    where 22 is the channel number.

Also, the Mozilla/Firefox plugins for gxine, vlc, or mplayer can play directly from XM Online.

    You only need Macromedia Flash if you are using a program like mplayer of vlc with the web page. If you use the script flash is not needed.

    Please tell B. Galliart good show. I have used this on my laptops/desktops and tonight got it running on my Zaurus (pdaXrom beta3) by substituting:

    rxvt -e mplayer -playlist

    for the mplayer command.

IMPORTANT! To be able to proceed, you need to solve the following simple math (so we know that you are a human) :-)

What is 11 + 12 ?
