Headset button not working

Gábor Demkó 13 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 13 aastat tagasi • 5
My bluetooth headset play/pause button does not work in XiaaLive (2.2.4 lite).
Enabling XiiaLive as the default player for media control has no effect on the problem. Other music players are working fine with my headset. Uninstalling all other music players (including the default one in the os) have no effect on the problem either.

I am running android 4.0.3 (official) on Nexus s

I have written a little android app to test some things out, and figured out the following, I hope it helps:

My headset play/pasuse button seems to send this 2 KeyEvents:
My one-button wired headset works fine, it is sending a different KeyEvent:

Perfect! Thanks for taking the time to investigate! So, the keys you are getting aren't supported by the app... But no worries I have just updated it and should be part of the next update we are doing very soon!

opus

It's been a year now since someone suggested adding opus.  Are you ever going to add opus support?

Hey! We will be adding support for opus on our next release. FFMpeg seems to have added it so it should hopefully be easy to include. Update will be release this soon month.

What are the advantages of FFMpeg and Android stream engines?

Paddy Landau 11 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 11 aastat tagasi • 2
I do not know the point of choosing between FFMpeg and Android.

Is one more efficient than the other? Does one suffer from fewer problems?

Which stream engine should I chose, and why?

I have both Pro and Beta installed, if that makes any difference.

I'm using Android 4.4.2 on Nexus 5, not rooted. Thank you.

Great questions! Our main goal at the moment is to push our XiiaLive Beta FFmpeg stream engine out to XiiaLive and XiiaLive Pro as default. The version of FFmpeg stream engine that we use on XiiaLive Beta is completely different than what is available on XiiaLive and XiiaLive Pro. It is fast, smart and solid!

Here are some of the main differences between Android and FFmpeg stream engines.

Android
It uses hacks to get radio streaming to work on Android. This causes various limitations for us and cross device compatibility is not great. It doesn't allow us to optimize every single corner of the radio streaming process.

FFmpeg
It uses open source code which allows the app to support just about every single popular audio format available on the internet. It is also the best stream engine available in the world. Yes, we are very pumped about the quality we are bringing in. :)

Needs to be quiet while using speech to text

Khile T. Klock 14 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 14 aastat tagasi • 2
While traveling I will often make use of speech you text to make communication less distracting.... But XiiaLive doesn't shut up when it needs to, so the speech to text works efficiently... Pandora works lively for this, XiiaLive should too.

Thanks for your feedback. I haven't tried using the text to speech feature while streaming. I definitely see this as an issue. I'll investigate to see how I can resolve this issue.

Buttons in the player are too sensitive

Nanren 9 aastat tagasi • uuendatud 9 aastat tagasi • 3

Buttons are too sensitive in Classic Dark theme. In developer mode, I enabled "Show layout bounds" and i see you make the buttons area to long. Can you remove the 'padding' thing and make it margin area between buttons instead, like you did make margin area between share and 3 dots buttons?

Signal loss, buffer failure.

John Green 12 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 12 aastat tagasi • 0
I paid for Xiaalive Pro, but it still won't work for me.  I drive for my job and I can listen to Spotify and Pandora for hours with no break in the signal but Xiaalive drops the signal several times per hour at least.  Even if I build up a buffer it still drops connection and the buffer is gone.

What device do you have and what version of Android does it have?


So Pandora and Spotify are very different apps compared to XiiaLive. Essentially those apps connect to a server and download the file that will be played on your device. With XiiaLive it is connecting to a live broadcasting station. The difference is that when the internet connection is dropped Pandora/Spotify can reconnect and continue the download without any problems, while XiiaLive reconnects but most likely would have lost some live radio content.


We have something to improves the experience with Smart Recovery. This tries to reconnect automatically and stitch a connection.

changing stations randomly

Randy Kuehn 10 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Ralph 9 aastat tagasi • 1

when I use xiia freshly installed and choose 80's and then select a station, naturally that station stays selected until I act further.

But as soon as I click and make one station my favorite, then go to 80s and select a diff 80s stain than my favorite, it plays that new selection for about 15 seconds and flips to my favorite by itself.

If I have two favorites in my favorite list it bounces from fav 1 to fav 2 after another 15 seconds. Then back to fav 1 etc bounce bounce.

Only at to end craziness delete both favs. Xiia his back to normal. I select any station and it stays put until I select another.

Pick a single fav again, 15-20 second bounce timetime again.

Help!! This is making a great app act crazy. Can't figure it.

Using android 4.4 on Motorola droid. Thanks

Make App work completely independent of the Android Media Framework???

Paul D 14 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 14 aastat tagasi • 0
Would it be possible to make app work the same as Yourmuze.fm ??

As there app includes its own AAC+ decoder. This means that it works completely independent of the Android Media Framework and they convert the streams to AAC+ before sending it to your phone - this results in low bandwidth consumption, and very high stability...However there huge downside is they dont have a buffer or prebuffer like yours..
Vasta
Jona (Lead Developer) 14 aastat tagasi

Next update I'm allowing users to test the beta internal streaming engine for AAC content... YOu should try that once it's released :)


Update 05/23/11:

XiiaLive v2.1.9 has option to use internal streaming engine... Check it out under Settings->Adv Users

Layout not optimal in horizontal mode

tuxmobil 12 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 12 aastat tagasi • 0

Hello,

today I've used your app with the phone in an audio dock in which it rotates to horizontal mode. I found the bar on right side that one has to drag into the screen to access the menu rather small (see attached picture). It is very easy to accidentially hit the soft keys of the Galaxy Nexus instead of that tiny bar. I would appreciate if you could reconsider this detail to make access to the menu more easy and safe.


Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it is close to the soft buttons. We will take a look and see what could be done. Thanks!
