This is an issue on Sirius' side... not the widget author's side. Don't give him 1 star for his 5 star app... he'll fix it as soon as he gets around to it.

'Word' on the net is that Sirius changed all their streaming URL's whcih would not only screw up all the 3rd party apps like the Widget but would probably cause some basic outages even for users with the Sirius site unil everything got changed over and everybody got their browsers refreshed. So yes, I do believe Sirius when they say they were experiencing outages, but I thnk until the 3rd party creators get the URL changed in their apps, the Sirius player may be the only option. Of course I may have no idea what I am talking about.

I have been having the same problem connecting. I hope that Tanner J can can come up with a good solution for this login and/or URL problem. This widget has been wonderful. It gets the main Sirius channels incuding Howard Stern and especially because it doesn't shut off every 45 minutes or so like the Sirius player does. I have used it for several hours a day and will really miss it if it can't be repaired.

btw to Gary, the password box has always been filled with more dots than the number of characters in your real password, presumably for added security.

I called Sirius and it said they were experiencing service outages for online streaming. Yesterday my Sirius widget was not working at home and not working in my office. Also, online streaming from sirius.com was not working either from home or from the office. However, my Logitech Squeezebox was working just fine. Today I can stream from sirius.com. I don't know anything about the iPhone app, but if it is an officially-supported app this suggests a problem on Sirius' end.

And yes... this is driving me absolutely nuts.

These are the steps if you are using Pocket Tunes on an iPhone, I only post them here in case the process can help get a fix going for our beloved widget.
Settings Pocket Tunes Force Catalog Update = ON
Launch PT APP. Go to Stations and choose Sirius or XM and the channel.
Delete your current Sirius XM favorites.
Resave favorites as needed.
LOVE this app, praying for a fix soon.
Thanks!
