Xiaalive disappears as banner ads are loaded
When I begin playing a station from the PLAYER screen, everything works as it should until the app disappears (but keeps playing), exactly as if I had pressed my phone's HOME button. The station continues to play, and I can reactivate the app as I would any other app that had been exited by pressing the HOME button (by re-selecting it from the app menu or by selecting it from my phone's pull-down active app list, for example). However, it will usually quickly disappear again and the whole process must be repeated. This usually happens several times before the app finally becomes more stable (after a few minutes).
It seems to have something to do with the loading of some of the banner ads that appear at the bottom of the screen. When I first start the app and begin playing a station (ANY station), the area at the bottom of the screen is blank- there is not an ad there yet. As soon as an ad does appear, the app invariably disappears (as I said, it's as if I had pressed the HOME button). When the next ad appears, it usually happens again. Once the initial ads are loaded and active, the problem usually becomes less frequent. Note that I only experience this bug when viewing the PLAYER screen. If I start playing a station and then immediately switch to any of the other 8 screens (Home, Talk, Music, Local, Search, Favorites, History, or Settings), operation works properly and the player doesn't disappear, even though the same ads display on those screens too.
Also, the problem only happens when I use the app in portrait mode. If I turn my phone sideways for landscape mode, the app works flawlessly in PLAYER view and all other views (Interestingly, no ads ever appear at the bottom of the PLAYER view when in landscape mode, although they can be seen in all of the other views).
I think I have gone through 4 revision upgrades, but the problem has persisted through all of them so the time has come to post this bug report.
My phone is a Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX (not the HD model) running Android version 4.12. Xiaalive didn't work with the previous Android version either.
My question is this: If you can't or won't fix the bug, do you think the paid version, which I assume will have no ads, will work properly on my phone? I have no objection to paying for this otherwise fine app, but I would like some assurance that it will work correctly.
By the way, I use the player almost exclusively for listening to OTR (Old Time Radio) shows and other talk stations. The built-in equalizer, which many other players don't have, is valuable for adjusting the sound of the often lousy audio of old radio programs.
Are you still having this issue?
Get song title and length to show in an m3u or PLS playlist?
beta version: swipe left and right on main screen is fickle
If you try to swipe left and right in the center of the screen it will not change screens.
If you swipe on the header or footer then it will change.
(over the top where the xiialive logo is or the bottom where the shoutcast logo is)
The transitions between screens is also very laggy probably from loading the lists?
I am guessing this is also just the way it is as well?
Thank you for putting out a quality application!
Since the release of XiiaLive beta to now we have greatly improved the app to perform a lot faster and use hardware acceleration. Hopefully this is no longer an issue on your device.

More prebuffer and buffer time part 2
Hi Jona !
Sorry i dont know how i can answer you behind my request !
I use the ffmpeg decoder because it doesnt stops streaming after losing fast internet connection. In germany you will losing HSDPA/3g connection if you drive by car. Usually you hear longer time one Radio Channel and it should be better you can buffer eg. 2 min.
greets from germany :-)
The current release of XiiaLive v3 contains caching for up to 60 minutes. When using the FFmpeg stream engine the caching feature is currently not supported at the moment. However, as mentioned before, we are working on a brand new stream engine based on FFmpeg that will support caching along with smart recovery feature. These two new features will a larger buffer unnecessary. We are getting ready soon for our first beta release hopefully in 1 months max.
Thanks for your feedback!

Here is a related Verizon forum thread: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/840658
About the error you are getting E:-14 this means an internal error -> ERR_SDL_AUDIO_INIT_FAILED. This is a bug we have resolved and will be part of the next release. I'm not sure but this error issue could maybe in some way improve the BT call issues.
