Which kind of wake lock does Xiia Live Pro invoke?
Well designed and reliable
After trying numerous android radio streaming apps, I can say from experience that Xiia Live offers the best and most reliable solution for android radio streaming. With the massive library of Shoutcast and the ability to add any url, the possibilities are endless. Other radio streaming apps such as Retro Radio and Shoutcast's very own app (Winamp) are nowhere near as reliable. In my experience, even the high profile TuneIn Radio loses streams more often than Xiia. Keep up the good work developers!
It's always nice to hear compliments when so much effort is put on an app! :)
Thanks for your feedback! :)
Can the "volume bar" on XIIAlive adjust the volume more than 100 percent?
This is a somewhat technical question. In other words... Will the XIIAlive volume control take the digital amplitude beyong maxbit? All MP3s (and streams) have a digital maximum and I don't want to add gain (causing distortion digitally). If so is there a way to lock the volume at 100% (no digital gain)?
See VLC on the computer (any OS). It adds up to 6dB (200%) and sounds horrible if you accidentally hit the application's volume control beyond 100%. There is no point in taking the gain higher than 100% relative to the decoded digital amplitude. Please XIIAlive, do not ever do this. :-)
We don't apply any gain to the streams. We use the Android media framework and I believe they don't allow to go over 0.0-1.0 volume level. At least we limit volume from going over 1.0 even dough I believe Android doesn't allow going over 1.0 volume level anyways. Locking the volume at 100% would mean setting the player volume all the way up and using the phones external volume controls.
Yes, I don't like ether what VLC does with their volume control. Don't worry won't be doing anything like that! :)
Speech preset for equlizer
While on it, a "normalizer" would be a great selling feature for "plus".
Player page remove fav station button not active until station starts playing
It would be great if the button activates as soon as the station is changed.
Ok, so this is technically not a bug it is just how things are processed internally. The main issue is caused by a delay to trigger playback for the next station. It is actually related to the other post you had here:
http://support.xiialive.com/topic/553769-notification-sounds-are-delayed/
So removing this delay the issue should be gone. Also, this delay shouldn't be applied to the player's prev/next buttons, only to Bluetooth devices.

Thanks for your feedback. Please try our new XiiaLive directory UberStations. It might have some stations SHOUTcast directory doesn't have.
Worst comes you can't find the station on the provided directories. You might be able to find them using the following suggestions.
