I don't want to take credit for someone else's work, they aren't my
fixes, I just found all the info ;)
I've never had the gui problem. I thought there was a way to force
the CLI so the gui pieces wouldn't start up? I was using FC6 but
now it is running on FC8.
As for tweaking, I didn't need to tweak them in order to get them
to work initially. I did wind up doing some tweaks to create mp3s
using lame rather than the wmv files by default.

There is, but it doesn't work for me apparently. There's a "trygui=FALSE"
that has to get set in the config file, but it seems to get ignored. For
example, if I enter "sipie octane" to play the Octane channel, the GUI comes
up with Octane in the channel list, but I still have to press Play. Also,
as a side effect (since I tried it last night after downloading the latest
sipie that was listed in that article you sent), I don't hear anything being
streamed. I can see the artist & song that is one as its' shown on the
Terminal window output, but don't have any audio. Playing MP3s via Myth
works so I know my audio is fine. The previous version of sipie (before it
broke) worked fine.
Thanks,
Harry
