Pandora Hijacking Xiia Via Bluetooth
I frequently use both apps connected via Bluetooth radio in my car. Xiia works just fine until I use the car radio to switch to Pandora and then back to Xiia. The car tells me that Bluetooth audio is paused. When I hit the play button on car radio, nothing happens. I can see Xiia playing on the phone, but not through the radio. To resolve, I have to force close both apps via phone. This is dangerous while driving. It seems like Pandora is hijacking the signal. Can it be resolved?
Please try turning ON Ignore audio focus under XiiaLive->Settings->Sound and see if the issue still happens. This should let me narrow down the issue.
Also, please provide the following info:
- Device
- Android version
- BT device info
Excessive bandwidth when playing streams
On my Droid Razr running ICS I notice that XiiaLive uses waaaay more bandwidth than the stream I'm playing is rated at. For example, a 128 kbps stream causes my download bandwidth to hover around 320 kbps (and sometimes higher). I suspect this is because the playlist for the stream contains multiple stream sources, and XiiaLive is actually streaming more than one of them in case one fails. Is this what's happening? If I play a 128 kbps stream, I expect XiiaLive to use 128 kbps of my bandwidth and no more.
Great question. There is something tricky we must do in order to stream using Androids hardware decoders. What it is, is that we have a local server running on your device that reads the stations feed from the internet process the data and hands it to the Android media player. This causes the phone to record double bandwidth but when in reality only half of the bandwidth is internet/data plan used.
Whats the difference between the lite and full verison?
Album Covers when Tweetting/Facebooking
Hello, Is there a way for you to add album covers from radio station along with user Tweets and Facebook sends? Thanks
Hi,
We currently don't provide a way to search for radios by countries. However, you can try searching for stations via search. Also, you can go to vtuner.com and finding there stations from a particular country. Once you find it simply click on the station and open it with XiiaLive. You can then save the station as a favorite.
Subdomain
French translation mistakes
-"histoire" should become "historique"
-"einstellung" (this is not a french word...) should become "reglages"
and
-"acquerant liste" when loading a channel should be "acquisition liste"
To be honnest, this is not much, but, if you can change it for the next update, it could make your app perfect ^^.
XiiaLive stops mp3-files from playing
How do I make mp3-files work again?
Best regards
Kjell persson, Sweden
Currently XiiaLive doesn't support playing local files as you may have noticed. So you can actually restore the Android default launch settings by doing the following steps.
- Go to Android settings screen.
- Tap on Apps.
- Find XiiaLive or XiiaLive Pro and tap to open the App info page.
- Scroll down to the area called "LAUNCH BY DEFAULT" and click Clear defaults.
Hiccuping audio
Thanks for your feedback! Could you let me know what phone you have and what version of android is running? Also, does this happen with all stations? Does it happen with AAC stations or MPEG stations?
UPDATE:
Closing this post for now. Please let me know if you are still having issues with the latest version of XiiaLive.
buffer
Hello there,
I'm wondering if you have any plans to increase both the prebuffer and stream buffer even further?
The prebuffer is pretty good right now at 60 seconds, but I still think some folks (like myself) would like it to be even higher. As for the stream buffer, I really feel that it should be higher.
For the record, the only reason I purchased your app was so that I could have an adjustable buffer. What you have done so far certainly makes your app function better than other that I've tried, but I still get some drop-outs ;)
Thank you for your time and consideration :)
