SiriusXM

This fork has been modified to copy the AAC audio directly instead of converting to MP3, allowing for no quality loss from what is broadcast. ID3 tags are not available.

This script creates a server that serves HLSstreams for SiriusXM channels. The recording mode can record shows from specific channels at source quality.

Requirements

Python libraries:

eyeD3
requests
tenacity

If you wish to record streams, you'll need to have ffmpeg installed with LAME support compiled in.

Installation

Install the Python dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

You can store your XM credentials as environment variables if you don't want to use the arg parser. Use SIRIUSXM_USER and SIRIUSXM_PASS.

export SIRIUSXM_USER="username"
export SIRIUSXM_PASS="password"

Usage

Simple HLS server

python sxm.py -u myuser -p mypassword

Then in a player that supports HLS (QuickTime, VLC, ffmpeg, etc) you can access a channel at http://127.0.0.1:8888/channel.m3u8 where "channel" is the channel name, ID, or Sirius channel number.

Start the server in ripping mode

python sxm.py -u myuser -p mypassword -c channel -r

Shows are dumped locally using the short title of the show which was recorded (i.e. 20180704180000-My_Program.mp3)

Tagging occurs once the ffmpeg stream has been closed.

List all XM channels

python sxm.py -u myuser -p mypassword -l

Example output:

ID                  | Num | Name
big80s              | 8   | 80s on 8
90salternative      | 34  | Lithium
altnation           | 36  | Alt Nation
