Sipie the Command Line Sirius Player

I couldn't get the sirius player to work, but I have found a command line player which I actually prefer.

Instructions:

First, install mplayer and python-setuptools:

Code:

sudo apt-get install mplayer python-setuptools

Then, install Beautiful Soup:

Code:

sudo easy_install BeautifulSoup

Next download sipie:

Code:

wget http://eli.criffield.net/sipie/sipie

Make it executable:

Code:

sudo chmod a+x sipie

Move it to /usr/bin

Code:

sudo mv sipie /usr/bin

That's it. You can run sipie from the command line or create a custom launcher using the attached image as the icon and the following as the "command" line:

Code:

gnome-terminal -x /usr/bin/sipie

You'll have to enter your user id & password the first time you run the program, as well as whether you are a guest or subscriber. Thereafter you will only have to enter the "captcha" code each time you run the program.

Press tab tab to show all streams, tab completion of stream names is supported. You can press CTRL-C to end playing a stream and select another one.
