There are two 'projects' here. One is the XMSharp C# library for developers to use in their own applications, the other is a MediaPortal plugin which uses the XMSharp C# library to make it possible for MediaPortal users to listen to XM Radio.
1. About XMSharp
XMSharp is an XM Radio Internet Streaming library. It handles logging in, fetching Channel information (including current song/artist/album for each channel and notifications of channel updates). It uses VLC to playback the streams currently.

- Source code moved to googlecode's svn server!
2. About XMSharp MediaPortal Plugin
XMSharp was originally designed simply to be used in a MediaPortal plugin to allow XM Radio streaming. This project was designed with using it in a MediaPortal plugin in mind, so the plugin project is also included.
Installation
Copy all the files except the 'skins' folder into your 'Team MediaPortal\Plugins\windows\' folder. From the appropriate skin folder inside the 'skins' folder, copy the xmsharpmp.xml file into the corresponding folder in your 'Team MediaPortal\Plugins\skins\
<skinname>\' folder. NOTE: You must also install VideoLAN's VLC Player INCLUDING the ActiveX Control option during the installation. You can get the installation here: http://www.videolan.org If you do not install the ActiveX Control for VLC, you will get an Incompatible Version error when loading the plugin!

- Version: 1.0.4 Released
- Added locking so multiple threads can access XMSharp's channels. This should prevent MediaPortal from crashing hard as often as it was in the last release!
- Fixed all the skin files where the navigation from the button for Preset 3 was not as expected.
