Usage

Warning

Designed for PERSONAL USE ONLY

sxm is a 100% unofficial project and you use it at your own risk. It is designed to be used for personal use with a small number of users listening to it at once. Similar to playing music over a speakers from the radio directly. Using sxm in any corporate setting, to attempt to priate music, or to try to make a profit off your subscription may result in you getting in legal trouble.

Command Line Interface

Help

Everything is outlined via command line via the –help option:

$ sxm --help

HTTP Proxy Server

Create HTTP proxy server to serve HLS streams for SXM channels:

$ sxm --username myuser --password mypassword

This will start a HTTP server that a player that supports HLS (QuickTime, VLC, ffmpeg, etc) you can access a SXM channel at http://127.0.0.1:9999/channel.m3u8 where “channel” is the channel name, ID, or Sirius channel number.

Username and password arguments are optional, if you leave one off, you will be prompted:

$ sxm --username myuser

Username and password can also be passed via the SXM_USERNAME and SXM_PASSWORD environment variables.

$ export SXM_USERNAME='myuser'
$ export SXM_PASSWORD='mypassword'
$ sxm

If you are a SXM subscriber in Canada, you will need to change your region to CA

$ sxm -r CA

By default the HTTP server serves on http://127.0.0.1:9999, you can change this:

$ sxm -p 8000 -h 0.0.0.0

Testing

Simple command to test proxy to verify it is working using ffmpeg:

$ sxm
$ ffmpeg -y -i http://127.0.0.1:9999/octane.m3u8 -f mp2 output.mp3

output.mp3 should be a valid mp3 file with output from the stream.

SXM Channels

You can list all of the avaible SXM channels for your account as well:

$ sxm -l

Here is a current list of channels and their channel IDs:

Python API

Everything that sxm can do via command line is provided via a Python API as well.

SXM Client

from sxm import SXMClient
from sxm.models import XMLiveChannel

sxm = SXMClient('username', 'password')

if sxm.authenticate():
    channels = sxm.channels
    favorites = sxm.favorite_channels

    channel = sxm.get_channel('octane')
    now_playing = XMLiveChannel(sxm.get_now_playing(channel))

HTTP Proxy Server

You create your own HTTP proxy server as well:

from sxm import SXMClient
from sxm import run_http_server

sxm = SXMClient('username', 'password')

if sxm.authenticate():
    # runs proxy server on http://127.0.0.1:9000
    run_http_server(sxm, 9000)
    # runs proxy server on http://0.0.0.0:9000
    run_http_server(sxm, 9000, ip='0.0.0.0')

If you want more control over the HTTP server, run_http_server is just a shortcut function:

from http.server import HTTPServer

from sxm import SXMClient
from sxm import make_http_handler

sxm = SXMClient('username', 'password')

if sxm.authenticate():
    httpd = HTTPServer((ip, port), make_http_handler(sxm))
    try:
        httpd.serve_forever()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        pass
    httpd.server_close()
