How does XiiaLive stream shoutcast stations flawlessly?

Anonymous 14 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago 0
I'm having troubles making an android app that plays shoutcast streams, but I always have gaps in the playback every 15-20 seconds.
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago
Thanks for your feedback. We are not allowed to give out such information. In the near future we will be providing our streaming engine library for use on applications. This lib will not be free most likely licensing deals will be the case.

Slow MP3 connect with Android 2.3 and above

Chris Davis 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 13 years ago 3

I am using the latest version of XiiaLive Pro on several Android devices running Android versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 3.2.  The stream I am connecting to is from my own Windows 2003 server using Proscan’s RadioFeed.  I have also used Broadwave’s Streaming Audio Server with the same results.  I am streaming a live police scanner from this URL: http://weather.dixonottawa.com:2002/RadioFeed.mp3

 

This works great with any Windows computer as well as the Android 2.1 and 2.2 devices.  With Android 2.1 and 2.2 it will connect and start playing in just a few seconds.  However on the Android 2.3 and 3.2 devices it buffers quickly to 99% and then sits there for approximately 90 seconds before it starts playing.  I am sending Meta tags along with the audio that show the scanner channel that is being received.  The Meta data is displayed almost instantly.  With 90 seconds of delay in the audio stream it is difficult to see what scanner channel was being received at the time the audio reached the encoder.

 

I read in the forums that there is a similar problem with AAC streams on Android versions 2.3 and above with RTSP.  Did Android break the MP3 as well?  Are there any work arounds for this problem?  Can I do anything on the server side that might help?

 

Unlike music listeners I am not concerned if there is an audio drop out occasionally.  I have the XiiaLive buffers both set for 1000.  I have tried using the XiiaLive internal stream engine.  It never connects and says it is connecting then says it is disconnecting over and over.

 

Suggestions?

 

Answer

I got your email, thanks! I was able to test the URL you provided and have a few suggestions for your server that might fix the issues you are having.


  1.  To be able to start the stream faster could you set the initial connection burst of data really high on your server?
  2.  Remove/disable the icy-metadata on yourserver.  This should allow it to stream using the internal stream engine… Yes, bug on our side L.  Next release we are adding an option to disable icy-metadata.

Have you recently updated your device OS to Android 4.0? Seems like that update brought the device performance down.

I just checked and your station does show up on the SHOUTcast directory however it doesn't show up on UberStations directory. Add your station easily to UberStations with the following link.

can't find known stations

Louis Cohen 11 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 2
Since the update that made Uber available as the station directory, I can't find either KCRW or the BBC World Service using Uber or Shoutcast.

I have a new Samsung Galaxy S4 (but the problem existed on my Google Nexus as well), Android 4.2
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago
Hi, I just tried searching for KCRW and was able to find it. Maybe it was recently added. About the BBC station please search "bbc world service" using UberStations directory. The station should be available.

Screen Next/Prev button is not working in Beta on Galaxy Note AT&T

Yury Legachev 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 8

Hello!


XiiaLive is great radio player but I recently changed phone and have weird issue!


I added two stations to favorites and try pressing next/prev buttons on the screen. Nothing happens. I have settings to browse Favourites in Settings.

I checked it with AT&T Galaxy Note with Android 2.3, 4.0.4 and 4.1.


At the same time I have Motorola Atrix which works correct with Android 2.3


Any ideas?

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago

On the latest official release of XiiaLive V3 we have allowed skipping your favorites via the player screen.  However, in order to skip via BT or headset controls you will need to get the Pro version.
