Longhorn Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Hello, New Control4 customer here. My integrator just finished installing an 8-zone audio system in our home. We have been enjoying it over the weekend and have been setting up the various music streaming services that we subscribe to on the C4 App. One that we have setup is SiriusXM. We have a SiriusXM subscription for our vehicle and it comes with access to their mobile app and online web player. The SiriusXM driver in C4 shows me all the numbered channels but I do not see any of the XTRA channels that you can see and access on their mobile and web platforms. Is this by design? Also get a message, when I select the Favorites tab in the C4 SiriusXM driver, that Live Favorites are Unavailable and that I must setup at least one favorite using the SiriusXM mobile app or online web player to enable favorites in Control4. Problem is that Sirius no longer uses 'Favorites' but has instead now switched to calling them 'Libraries'. I do have several channels in the Library list on the web player but looks like that does not trigger the C4 SiriusXM driver to reflect that. Is the C4 Driver for SiriusXM being regularly updated? It's not my primary music streaming service but I would like to use it and have the same features as their mobile and web player. Thanks from a new C4 customer.

Cyknight Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 XTRA channels are exclusive to their own app, no other way to listen to them but there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorn Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Thanks for the response @Cyknight. I was afraid that was the case but at least now I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olichops Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Not true as I get the extra channels on SONOS so why can't C4 have them too??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per SiriusXM: 200+ Xtra Channels Enjoy over 200 music channels made for any mood, occasion, or activity, available exclusively on the SiriusXM app. As per Sonos: Additional details Limited to one simultaneous stream per account; however you can listen to a SiriusXM station in multiple rooms by grouping Sonos players together. SiriusXM Xtra channels are not available for streaming on Sonos Sonos did NOT have them available for me at least as recent as late last year when I last checked. If anything's changed then I'm not aware of it - but the above blurbs are direct from their respective websites TODAY. If Sonos is back-dooring them somehow, and SXM is ignoring it - well that's on them. If Sonos and SXM made an agreement on it, and aren't publicizing it - still on them. Simply put it would be up to SXM to open those channels up for whatever streaming platform - as far as I can tell at least publicly, XTRA channels are only available in the app or via their own web-app and perhaps via the sxm skill on alexa.

eggzlot Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 not my fav solution but if you have the SiriusXM app you could do Shairbridge and send the stream over to Control4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turls Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Sonos is also the only way you are going to get proper access to On Demand content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olichops Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Well if it is in Sonos then it is not exclusive to XM. So C4 should be able to have that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
