What are the advantages of FFMpeg and Android stream engines?
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.
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. :)

Buttons in the player are too sensitive
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.
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!
