Unable to open pls file

amavarick 7 ár síðan 0

-Huawei 6x

-Android 7.0

-Unable to open PLS or m3u files from baptistradio.net  I cannot play the pls or m3u either by opening link from browser or downloading it and opening.  xiialive will say it failed to connect.  However I can install vlc or another music player and play the same pls or m3u link or downloaded file.  The backend player is icecast http://stream.baptistradio.net:8005/

-This worked at one time with xiialive.  I can copy and paste the m3u/PLS icecast stream URL into xiialive manually and that will work just fine but that's not really a great solution for the vast majority of internet users.


I'm also a beta user and purchased the pro version.  Other than this one issue, I love your player.

Russian titles album art

7eva 7 ár síðan updated by adel-s 7 ár síðan 1

Hello Xiialive,


I have a latest pro version of XiiaLive running on mk809III Android stick (Android 4.4.2).

When listening to the Russian internet radio (for example  http://online.radiorecord.ru:8102/rock_320 ) and there is English title data in stream album art showing correct, but once there is Russian title I am getting the same picture that was probably cached one day for every Russian music i listen..

Can you please fix it? Many thanks!

Internal error E: 209 on Android 4.2.2 (3.3.1.7)

Nanren 9 ár síðan Uppfært 8 ár síðan 7

After i updated Xiialive to 3.3.1.7, it does not play anymore. instead, it keep looping (Internal error E: 209) making my device slower, and it kills System UI and make my background black.


Again, do proper QA tests next time. You told me that you promise that but you didn't!


I left beta tester due to that bug. i'm disappointed that i got no proper response from you/supporters/developers. i may not use Xiialive anymore if this happen again in the future.

Scrobble or API support?

Óþekktur 14 ár síðan updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 ár síðan 2
Hello - I am developing an Android application that would allow display of what is currently playing in media players on Android. I expect that this application will be well received in the marketplace and I am very interested in incorporating xiialive shoutcast support.

I am able to receive scrobble intents (for scrobbledroid, etc.) from other media players and use those intents for this purpose, but it appears I cannot use xiialive because it does not currently broadcast scrobbling intents.

Is there an API or broadcast intents from xiaalive that I can use to get "now playing" information from xiaalive, specifically for shoutcast?

Thank you for your assistance.

You can read the metadata coming from XiiaLive by listening to the following intent:

 /**
* Broadcast sent out every time there is new metadata available.
* @Extra 
* EXTRA_MEDIA_TRACK_TITLE <br>
* EXTRA_MEDIA_TRACK_ARTIST
*/
public final static String ACTION_NOTIFY_METADATA = "com.vblast.xiialive.service.ACTION_NOTIFY_METADATA";

What particular scrobbler intents where you hopping us to support?  Maybe we can implement them...

yourmuze.fm

Gerd Häglsperger 11 ár síðan updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 ár síðan 1
I tried to use XiaLive to stream yourmuze.fm.
For this I open Dolphin, switch to the website m.yourmuze.fm and tried to start the stream by tapping on the link and choosing XiaLive as application. XiaLive opens but always says, that connection could not be established. Another player does play the stream without any problems.

WIFI Only

Christian Rudat 13 ár síðan updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 ár síðan 6

Is there a build-in way to restrict xiia to WIFI only? I once forgot to turn on WIFI at home and thus spend quite some megabytes on my 3G connection listening to streams with xiia.

If not, such an option would be awesome :)

We have added this feature to XiiaLive. It will be part of the next release!

pleas add a Function to reconnect indefinitely

Stefenzo 14 ár síðan updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 13 ár síðan 0
pleas add a Function to reconnect indefinitely. So a Stream can replay after a dead zone of a couple of minutes automatical. Until now the Player give up after 5 try.
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 13 ár síðan

Update 2.1.8v will have a better reconnecting logic.  If there is no network connection it will wait until network connection is available and it will retry to connect as opposed currently just trying continuously...


Update 06/02/11:

Update v2.1.9 has improved this area.  Better reconnection logic has been added, which will only try to reconnect if there is a valid connection, otherwise it waits until a valid connection is available.  Also, unlimited retry option has been added, please note this option is only available on the paid version.

cyrillic stations names

Peter 11 ár síðan updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 8 ár síðan 8

I put the station name in cyrillic letters myself, in "Sender ändern/Name" (in english perhaps: Favorites/LONG PRESS/Modify/"Change station" page/"Name" field). But it doesn't display that name in the Player window. It keeps displaying the original file name, as ascii, from the m3uFor station names in latin letters, the station is displayed exactly as I have modified it. Version is 3.2.5.0.1 paid, Android 4.1.

(It happens for 2 stations, one was originally cyrillic utf8 file name, making strange ascii, one was originally file name in latin letters and displays as such) 

That's the name I set myself, t=

<station dc="1381285569315" pc="6" scb="192" scm="audio/mpeg" sc="http://213.208.177.14:8006" sm="application/pls-id" su="1383556" e="UTF-8" c="rus" t="Радио "Комсомальская правда" в Москве - 97,2FM - fm.kp.ru"/>

DLNA

DeeJayAitch 13 ár síðan updated by Ian McLeod 8 ár síðan 3
I'd like to be able to stream the Xiialive output to my network connected hifi over DLNA. Is this an option which could be easily added or have you any idea how this could be done? Thanks for a great app!
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 11 ár síðan

We have no plans to directly support DLNA at the moment. However, there are some 3rd party apps that support DLNA and work with XiiaLive.


We recommend BubbleUPnP UPnP/DLNA.
