Posting new bugs
When you post new bugs please give us as many details as you can! This will help us resolve issues quickly and easily.Common details we need:

Don't have the app yet? Get XiiaLive or XiiaLive Pro now for Android! Or get XiiaLive for iOS!
Signal loss, buffer failure.
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
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???
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..
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
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!
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.
