    I know I've seen a few posts in the "sipie on Ubuntu 7.10" and some others that are probably related in the "premium streams not working" thread... has anybody come up with a fix for this latest change by Sirius that seems to have broken Sipie?  I'm being taunted by the titles of the music and programs I should have access to - I've had a Sirius account for 3+ years now.  If anybody has any fixes or is working on something, I'm sure we'd all love to hear about it. 

    -sitting in silence :(

        Yea I saw that and I got excited for a few minutes while I applied the patches.  It makes no difference on my system :(  Just FYI, I'm running on Gentoo and not Ubuntu.  I'm still seeing the defunct mplayer process.  I made sure to delete all traces of sipie on the machine -- my configs, the binaries, everything.. then I patched and reinstalled and gave it my login info again, and still no sound.  It was working great up until a day or two ago when the sound died.  Sound is working on the machine - I double checked that of course.  I've got multiple Gentoo machines and all of them were running sipie fine a few days ago.  Now, sipie doesn't work on any of them even after the patch.  I'd be happy to provide any more data anybody needs to help fix this problem.  Thanks for the suggestions.

      I am having the same exact problem on Gentoo, both AMD64 and x86...

      I'm on gentoo and sipie is working again.  The fix was found on another thread here.

      A summary of AJ Coon's summary:

      1. Removing/commenting out this:

      if not asxurl.startswith('http://%s'%(self.host,)): 
      asxurl = "http://%s%s"%(self.host,asxurl)

      2. Removing the "-playlist" flag from the end of the mplayer options

      After doing a fresh easy_install sipie, I opened "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Sipie-0.1190648273-py2.4.egg" (your location my vary) in file-roller, saved step 1 above in Factory.py and step 2 in StreamHandler.py both in a temp location.  Then re-added them to the egg file still using file-roller.

      After, I ran cliSipie and everything works just fine, even as a premium stream.

      Eli sent in the fix for these issues a few days ago. The fix:

      Find a good place to download the code (mine is in /usr/src)
      1. # cd /usr/src
      2. # svn co https://sipie.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sipie sipie

      Move to that folder and rebuild:
      3. # cd sipie
      4. # easy_install .

      That should get things working again... if not post back.

        Excellent.  Works perfectly, here.

        Thanks!

          when I did the above, and ran easy_install sipie, I got the following:

            You need to download the source from SVN, move to that folder, and then in the final step you run 'easy_install .'

              OK, I made the mistake of running 'easy_install sipie'.  Thanks, it's working now.

      Hi,

        I just tried to get Sipie working and I appear to have the same problem.  I downloaded the latest SVN code after ensuring that all old versions of the files were removed.

      [root@mythhd-test sipie]# easy_install .
      Processing .
      Running setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /usr/src/sipie/egg-dist-tmp-m-mhkS
      Adding Sipie 0.1196144357 to easy-install.pth file
      Installing sipie.py script to /usr/bin
      Installing cliSipie script to /usr/bin
      Installing gtkSipie script to /usr/bin
      Installing wxSipie script to /usr/bin

      Installed /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Sipie-0.1196144357-py2.5.egg
      Processing dependencies for Sipie==0.1196144357
      Finished processing dependencies for Sipie==0.1196144357

      If I login as my regular userid and rung sipie.py it fires up wxSipie and I can select a channel from the drop down listing and the playing song gets displayed on the popup window.  I don't get any sound however. Mplayer doesn't appear to be having defunct issues at this point.

      [jwiggins@mythhd-test ~]$ sipie.py

      If I exit wxSipie it doesn't appear to clean up the mplayer processes.  Sound works if I use a webrowser to login to the Sirius website with my account.

      Running Fedora 8, kernel 2.6.23.9-85.fc8
      mplayer-skin-mini-0.1-11.2.at
      mplayer-fonts-1.0-7.at
      mplayer-1.0-62_rc2.fc7
      mplayerplug-in-3.50-33.fc7
      mplayer-skins-1.0-pre3_13.at

      Any help would be appreciated.
      Jeff.
