XM Radio Online streaming quit working
I have been using XM Radio Online (XMRO) ever since I installed Windows 7, a month or two ago, and it always worked fine. If anyone out there is familiar with it, basically you log into XM's site and launch the app, which loads a player (Windows Media Player) at the top right.
Anyway, now I can't get anything. I know it's connecting because after I log in I can *see* what's playing on every channel. If I press the PLAY button repeatedly, on certainly channels I will get a guy's voice saying "The URL you are attempting to use to access this media is invalid. Please contact your content provider ..." blah blah blah.
This is happening in IE8, so I installed Firefox but it happens in that browser too.
However, I can go downstairs and log in on my wife's computer (Vista) and it plays every channel just fine, just like it used to for me.
I've called XM (which, if you're curious, has about the worst customer service in the world) and they did make some adjustments to my account. There is a lot of stuff going on right now with XM and their merge with Sirius, and they did make some changes to their online service. I think my problems may have started at about that same time (I glean this from an XM Radio forum).
But I know that my problem on W7/IE8 is not related to that because, as I said, it's working fine on our other PC. Also, the lady I spoke with at XM said she was able to log in as me and that it worked.
Someone, the streaming media is just not coming through anymore in Windows 7. I don't really know what to do. I've deleted history and cookies.
Any suggestions?
