Keep screen on when powered

Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 1
Have you guys considered adding an option to keep the screen on when plugged into a power source and playing? Slacker Radio has it and it's an awesome feature, especially when I'm driving and want to see what's currently playing.

Car mode?

koimr 10 years ago • updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 10 years ago • 1
Any way to have some kind of "car mode" so that either the buttons are larger or can be controlled via gestures? Right now can be kind of tricky trying to change stations while driving.
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 10 years ago
Thanks for you idea! This is definitely something we always wanted to do. The only thing holding us back is the designer doesn't work full-time so it is really hard to get a design going... :(

However, we do want to do this.

I like the gestures ideas. If you want to share any details of how you would dream the app to work in car mode please share! :)

Invalid url on Jelly Bean

B Ap 11 years ago • updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago • 10 • 1 duplicate

Just installed Xiia on my new Nexus 7 with Jelly Bean.  Nothing will play - I get "Invalid URL" with EVERY stream I have tried, even though the stream works perfectly on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (running ICS).


I have typed numerous URLs into Xiia on JB but nothing is working.


Any ideas anyone?


Thanks.

Text Replacement

Internets McAwesome 11 years ago • updated by Mike Steidl 9 years ago • 3

Would it be possible to implement some kind of string replacement/removal for the "now playing" text on a per station basis?


A lot of radio stations append the station name to the track name, which upsets the scrobbling (and sharing) features of the app.

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago

Great request, I know exactly what you are saying. It would be interesting feature but I'm not 100% sure how exactly it would work. Do you have any ideas or name of apps that currently do something like this? Any information should help me investigate a bit more. Also, potentially a station that is currently broadcasting as you are saying.

Some aac+ stereo streams not decoding properly

Matthew Osborne 13 years ago • updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 10 years ago • 1
I have an LG Optimus V phone running Android 2.2.1, and have installed XiiaLive beta and the latest version on the market.  I've noticed that, when playing lower bitrate aac+ stereo audio streams using the internal stream engine, they only play back in mono.  I know the internal stream engine is only a beta release, but this is something your team may want to look at.  Here are two streams that illustrate this issue:

Support for http auth streams?

Morten Børnes 12 years ago • updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago • 12 • 1 duplicate

I run a private icecast2 server that I would like to stream on my android phones using xiialive.

But xiialive does not seem to support http auth url's?

When I input http://username:password@streaming.url it just says unauthorized.

And when I input it without username and password it does not ask for a username and password.

The stream itself works fine in vlc/winamp for windows and in winamp for android.

Would love this to be implemented as xiialive is my favourite streaming client for android.

Last.FM scrobbling broken

André Evertz 11 years ago • updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago • 9

Hi,


since the last Version I noticed a bug with Last.FM scrobbling. When I listen to music it shows up the Last.FM App scrobbling Icon but the scrobbling history of my Last.FM profile is not up to date. It only tracks the music i listened from my pc but not the music i listened on my HTC with XiiaLive.


What I noticed: My Last.FM profile shows up the current song that XiiaLive is playing, but the history of the last played songs is never updated with XiiaLive scrobbles.


I don´t know if this is a Last.FM bug or a bug from XiiaLive.


Thanks for your good App btw.


Device: HTC One X

Android: 4.1.1

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago

Release v3.0.1.2 contains a much improved last.fm scrobble support.


The main reason why scrobbling wasn't working was do to a bug in the last.fm app.  In order to get it to scrobble working again you must turn off AVRCP metadata feature on XiiaLive. Simply go to Settings->App Control and set AVRCP metadata to OFF.
