Hey guys, unfortunately we don't control the content of the directory. We've previously seen this particular station disappear and come back up. Hope this time it returns.

XiiaLive uses SHOUTcast radio directory which is free. We currently offer two versions of the application one which is free "ad supported" and another with no ads for $3.99.

Paid version is a one time fee. The free version no fees.

Loved your free app,Thank you

Thank you again for the use of your APP. All was well until SPRINT UPDATED, it just would not stay connected, now it might have been ok for two days to two hrs you just never knew when you were going to have to pull battery. So now that the market has changed I was able to purchase your APP, and thats the ticket. Now I just downloaded it changed nothing at first , and guess what? All is working great. Had a few bumps, but it settled down, and stayed connected. WOW what a difference that made, no more stuck and having to take the battery out. I'm using a LG OP S, 670series, ANDROID 2.3.3, Sprint Network.

Thank you again,
Tom McCool
p.s. I can now again run police scanner pro, using both volume cotrols I can have scanner louder then This APP, so its great now having the scanner run as background when it speaks. I highly reccomend it to anyone looking for an APP of your quality

Turning equalizer on turns off music completely, turns sound off - streaming is going well but no sound at all.

BBC AAC streams - Access Forbidden after 1 play?

Jason Whiteley 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 10 years ago 11

Hi,

Whenever I try to add a BBC playlists from this thread:

http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1473061

they plan fine in Xiialive ONLY if I "open" the link with xiialive from firefox for android.

 

If while the playlist is playing I try to add it as a favourite, then use the back button to get back to firefox (because at this point xiialive is running inside firefox, at least according to my HTC One X) and then load up xiialive and access that favourite I have just stored, it will say "access forbidden".

 

I have generated a log and will send it to xiialive with a link to my question.

 

Note: the links in the thread above will only play 56kbps AAC+ outside of the UK, but if you tunnel a VPN into the UK and play them, it's at 128kbps AAC+

 

Thanks for any help you can offer because this is a really frustraing problem, especially when a competitor's radio app has all the BBC's stations in it's database, but there is no graphic EQ (and other excellent features that xiialive has).

Regards,

Jason

I'm closing this old post since with the latest release we are no longer caching added links. If you are still having issues please re-add your links and try that. If still having issues please let me know and provide the link you are having issues with so I can investigate and resolve the issue.

Why does xiialive sometimes take a long time to buffer?

Answer

There are many things that can affect this scenario. First, your network internet speed. When you see you have full bars, that does not mean you have fast internet speed. You may be connected to 3G and your internet may be slow. Second scenario, radio bitrate vs. internet speed. The higher the bitrate the better the quality of sound and the faster your internet will need to be. So use your judgment...
