Free sirius satellite radio software for linux

iRATE radio provides users with a powerful new way to find and download free, legal music online.

Users rate tracks based on their tastes. The iRATE server then selects other tracks to send to the user from a database of over 50,000 freely downloadable songs by correlating the users ratings with other users, and finding people with similar tastes.

Unlike streaming audio, iRATE saves the tracks to the users hard drive. This means that playback is smoother, without the typical problems associated with streaming media, such as high bandwidth usage.

This driver gives you the capability to work with the MediaFocus Satellite TV card under Linux. This driver contains modules for Zorans multimedia controller ZR36120/ZR36125, Micronas Intermetall Video Pixel Decoder VPX32XX series, Digital Radio Processor DRP3510 (astra digital radio decoder), Multistandard Sound Processor MSP3400 C, SGS Thompson Satellite Sound and Video Processor STV0030 and Mitels 2.6 GHz Synthesiser SP5055 (satellite tuner).

A satellite frequency table for xawtv is also included. In this table the 18/14V and 22kHz settings are placed within the frequency values. In order to avoid this dirty implementation two possible future ioctls for the v4l-API are proposed here.

The above mentioned driver was written for the ZR36120/ZR36125-based MediaFocus Sat-PC card. Nowadays TechniSat is selling a new MediaFocus card, which is based on the Philips SAA 7146 multimedia-chip. A driver for this card can be found on the official TechniSat MediafocusII website.

Ximba Radio project is a GTK+ based user interface to the OpenXM daemon for controlling an XMPCR (a USB-connected XM Radio for PCs). The daemon manages a USB connected XMPCR receiver, which in turn pumps the audio signal into your audio cards input port. The daemon runs in the background and the UI connects to it to manage stations, favorites, and audio
Main features:
- Connecting to and starting up the radio.
- Disconnecting from and shutting down the radio.
- Channel up, Channel down
- Jump to channel
- Back to previous channel
- Mute on / off
- Preferences
- Channel listing window that can be hidden from view.
- Artist and Channel Favorites
- Notify when a favorite artist is playing on some station other than the current one, allow quick jump to that station.
- Category Tabs
- Session History

rico_RADIO is a little app for X under linux to listen to the radio.
This is how to install:
type (make sure that you are root) "make install" to compile and copy rico_RADIO to "/usr/bin"
Enhancements:
- volume-control
- mute-button
- many cosmetic changes

wmstradio is a doc app that acts as a radio for streamed media. It reads a list of "channels" and allows them to be selected in a radio like interface. wmstradio launches Real Player connecting to the site that you select.
The only configuring wmstradio needs is a list of RealAudio sites to connect to. This is provided through a directory called ~/.wmstradio which contains link files to the sites. These link files are what you get when you try to save the link through a web browser. They are text files containing a URL to the server real audio streamer. The name of this file is used as the name of the chanel in the wmstradio display window.
Enhancements:
- BUGFIX: shaifuljahari at yahoo.com pointed out that an empty .wmstradio directory caused the app to core on load. Fixed.
- MISC: Empty directories are now detected at load, and during the lifetime of the app. Appropriate error message given on standard error and lcd.
- DOCUMENTATION: CREDITS added.

The Stewie Radio Automation Project is a stand-in replacement for the "XMMS playlist on random" style of independent radio station.
Once properly configured, the user will enjoy the low maintenance of a "random playlist" station while still being able to use legal IDs, liners, multiple playlists, and music logs.
Main features:
- Low maintenance
- Multiple playlists
- Liners
- Legal IDs
- Logs every song and liner played
- Records errors and keeps truckin
Enhancements:
- Fixed a few bugs in install script
- Created error log/warning system
- Main script now updates the settings in stewie.conf in order to continue running. The only thing that *should* kill it, is not having any music available in the "master" playlist.
- Config file can be updated while script is running
- install-stewie gives "not found" audio players another chance
- Rewrote README file

Audio::Radio::Sirius is a Perl module to control a Sirius satellite radio tuner.

SYNOPSIS

Sirius satellite radio (http://www.sirius.com) is a US based satellite radio serice. While none of the tuners they make have serial or USB connectors, it has been found that generation 2.5 tuners (Sportster, Starmate, * Replay, Sirius Connect, and others) have a common tuner module.

Furthermore this tuner module generally has a serial interface. Presently only one commercial site is offering a modification for adding a serial port to a Sirius tuner: http://www.rush2112.net. Google should reveal schematics and parts needed for adding ports to other tuners.

Once your tuner is connected to your system and accessible via a serial port like device, you can use this module to access it:

use Audio::Radio::Sirius;
use Win32::SerialPort; # or Device::SerialPort on Linux

my $serial = new Win32::SerialPort(com1);
my $tuner = new Audio::Radio::Sirius;

$tuner->connect($serial);
$tuner->power(1);
$tuner->channel(184); # tune in the preview channel

GPS::SpaceTrack is a package for calculating the position of GPS satellites.

SYNOPSIS

use GPS::SpaceTrack;
my $obj=GPS::SpaceTrack->new(filename=>"gps.tle");
print join("t", qw{Count PRN ELEV Azim SNR USED}), "n";
foreach ($obj->getsatellitelist({lat=>38.870997, lon=>-77.05596})) {
print join("t", $_->prn, $_->elev, $_->azim, $_->snr, $_->used), "n";
}

This package can calculates the location of the GPS satellite constellation given the position of the receiver and a time which can be in the future.

CONVENTIONS

Function naming convention is "format of the return" underscore "format of the parameters."

CONSTRUCTOR

new

The new() constructor passes paramaters to the filename() method.

my $obj = GPS::SpaceTrack->new(filename=>$filename);

METHODS

getsatellitelist

The getsatellitelist() method returns a list of Net::GPSD::Satellite objects. The getsatellitelist() method is a wrapper around getsatellitelist_rad() for data formatted in degrees instead of radians.

my $list=$obj->getsatellitelist({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #degrees, degrees, meters, seconds from epoch
my @list=$obj->getsatellitelist({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #degrees, degrees, meters, seconds from epoch
getsatellitelist_rad

The getsatellitelist_rad() method returns a list of Net::GPSD::Satellite objects. This method is basically a wrapper around Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE.

my $list=$obj->getsatellitelist_rad({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #radians, radians, meters, seconds from epoch
my @list=$obj->getsatellitelist_rad({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #radians, radians, meters, seconds from epoch

filename

Method to get or set the filename of the TLE data.

my $filename=$obj->filename;
my $filename=$obj->filename(filename=>$filename);
