Hello all,
Is there any way to listen to sirius satellite radio in OpenSUSE? I used sipie a little over a year ago in Ubuntu and it worked great. There is also a Sirius Player for Firefox, though I haven’t gotten either of those to work in openSUSE 11. Any ideas how? I’d love for this to work, as it makes the work day go so much better.

Sirius Player works fine here using the web browser Konquerer.

I run Gnome desktop and Konqueror works fine for web browsing, but it has trouble with java scripts with Sirius. I installed Mplayer and the proper plugins. Then in Firefox I got a plugin called media player connectivity.

Then when you open the sirius media player there are two ways to stream:
either right click in the sirius player and then you can connect to the media
or there is a little black and white play button you can just hit.
Before you can listen you must change your preferences in media player connectivity.
Right click Media Player Connectivity as said as above either right clicking the sirius media player or right clicking the black and white play button,
then configure and look for what player Linux uses for the Windows Media player.
Mine was Xine, but it crashed every time I used this. I changed it to Mplayer. I had to change the setting to
/usr/bin/gmplayer
hit apply
then ok.
Now open the player go to media connectivity and connect to media. It should take a minute an error box will come up and say it couldn’t resolve name but then the player should start.
