Ok here's the deal. I went out and re-tested with both patch and non-patch, and it does look like the 1.46 Patch caused the problem. I rolled back to regular 1.46 and everything populated fine in the list... HOWEVER, even in 1.46, the song info still does not update unless you press the channel. So basically when you start the module, it will load the entire list with whatever artist and song is currently playing on each channel, but nothing of those will ever change unless you select a channel. Then that one channel updates itself.

Here are two logs for you

Thanks!

I see the problem but not sure why it is happening, I can't reproduce it here. Try the following two satradio.dll downloads, run both of them, let me know how they work for you, and send me the log for each one, let me know which log is which too... Thanks for your time in tracking this down...

Use this SatRadio.zip in place of the previous one I posted. Still use the SatRadio-N-I.zip from the previous post... Will be looking for your logs when you post them...

Scott, thanks a ton and sorry for the delay. I have not had a chance to test yet due to holiday obligations and whatnot. I'll let you know and get you some logs asap.

Thanks again.

New update 1.461, please test and report back any issues...

That's an indicator of an unactivated radio.

is there a way to manually refresh the xm channel list? the one in settings doesnt do anything.... & my signal is 94% and T is 0%.... what does the T mean?

You won't get any more channels showing up until the radio goes active.

"T" is for "Terrestrial", as in "ground". XM (and Sirius) has a network of ground based repeaters to broadcast the signal in areas with tall structures which would otherwise block the sat signal.

As for it being 0... I haven't seen it be non-zero in quite a while. I used to get a strong ground signal in my area, but I'm not any more. That in turn is causing a number of dropouts in areas that used to be fine (an XM receiver is design to switch to the stronger of the two signals within a range).


I have faith in Scott - he's taken the XM module from something useless to something that I can actually use without wanting to through something at the screen. But, there's definitely been a hiccup in the plan though the last couple of releases. I'm running 1.451 - it's been the "best" in the recent releases.

I refuse to move to CF 1.46 in general 'cause I'm sick of having to reset all my button choices, config options etc. David claims that the 1.50 release will auto-upgrade.
