SiriusXM help (2024)

[bigalow]

Hello all-

I have figured out how to pull down live SXM channels using a script (sxm.py) found on github. Unfortunately, that tool only seems to pull live content and not replay/on demand content. For clarity, that script does require my credentials as a SXM subscriber. It would be great to simply be able to use that tool but I have not figured out a way to do it.

When I playback on demand content, I first pull the m3u8 file using a plugin and save that. I then attempt to edit the file to include the direct URL added to the segment name. When then I run a download command such as: 'ffmpeg -i locallysaved.m3u8 -c copy outputfile.ts' I run into what appears to be a cookie/key error.

Years ago someone helped me create a local 'sample.key' file that the m3u8 would then point to. I'm at a loss as to how to create that file. I can locate the info below and think that is the component I need to somehow incorporate to get things working. I feel like I am really close to being able to pull the content.

I know I need to edit the bolded URI= to point at the local 'key' file, I am just unsure where to acquire it or how to create it. If someone would be willing to help out I would greatly appreciate it!
