Unlike the previous version, I can't stop phonecalls from going to my Bluetooth speaker. Help!

You can edit a paired BT device to only use media and not phone calls.


Simply go to:

1. Android settings-> bluetooth

2. Long press the paired device and press options

3. Uncheck "Phone"


Instructions might be a bit different depending on your devices android versions.

Why is Sticky_broadcast permission removed?

Karavine Ann Marinas vor 11 Jahren aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 11 Jahren 0

Why is Sticky_broadcast permission removed?

Antwort
Jona (Lead Developer) vor 11 Jahren

Well the removal of sticky broadcasts is mainly a development purpose driven change. If you are a developer the following might make sense...


We used sticky broadcasts to allow the OS to hold the last information we broadcasted. This allowed for a quick way to retrieve last broadcast information. Just like Android music player does... The main issue we ran into was that any updates we made to the extras for the sticky broadcast caused the sticky intent not to be updated causing home screen widgets to show old information once in a while. The easiest fix, stop using sticky and work out a new way to retrieve the last broadcasted information.


By resolving the issue mentioned above we actually didn't need sticky broadcast permission anymore. This in turn will make some users happy who kinda don't have a clue what sticky broadcasts did in XiiaLive but still accused the app of doing something malicious...


Hope this answers your question! :)

Order of Favorite Stations

Tobias R vor 10 Jahren aktualisiert von Sam vor 9 Jahren 2
Hello,
just bought xialive from play store and wanted to ask how can I order my favorite station the way I like them. I've already tried to order them in the backup.xialive xml file, but it did not work. Changeing the name of the station by adding a prefix number did not work either.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Tobias

Antwort
Jona (Lead Developer) vor 10 Jahren

pro version on ios

pi jall vor 8 Jahren aktualisiert von Rodrigo (Developer) vor 8 Jahren 2

Hi,

I've been using the free version on iPhone 5s. Once I buy the paid version, is there any option to set the timer like in the pro version on Android? I mean I was able to set the time,say, for 20 mins on Android and it would shut down after 20 mins automatically. That's what I need indeed. I don't want it to play continuously as I sleep.

Thx for your help.

Antwort
Rodrigo (Developer) vor 8 Jahren

Hello Pi,

the Sleep timer feature is not available yet for iOS version. We've pointed it as priority for new releases.


Thanks.

Peter Krause vor 8 Jahren aktualisiert von Rodrigo (Developer) vor 8 Jahren 3

Dear XiiA Team, even i Installed the last FM Scrobbler, there is still no album Art. Do I do something wrong or is it still not implemented?

Antwort
Rodrigo (Developer) vor 8 Jahren

Peter,

Thanks.

Some streams with an ad prequel don't work

Ville Aakko vor 13 Jahren aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 13 Jahren 0
Hi!

radiohelsinki (www.radiohelsinki.fi) doesn't work with xiaalive. It has an ad before the actual stream. Only the ad is played in an infinite loop. I believe bassoradio stream would do the same (didn't try that) and other streams that use a similar ad at the beginning.

Cheers! Nice app anyways!

Thanks for the feedback! I looked into this and did see what you are saying... I'm still trying to figure out how I can resolve this. It's something weird that has to do with the broadcasters.

backup.xiia

Peter vor 11 Jahren aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 11 Jahren 2
What is the format of backup.xiia, perhaps there is a link with explanation.
I noticed in the net other <station> xml-style, but with instruction it would be easier, for example to add stations myself to the file. Thanks. (I'm a paid user).


Antwort
Jona (Lead Developer) vor 11 Jahren

The backup file was not really intended for manual editing but regardless can still be done.


Here is some info about the different fields. Please note that they can change in the future.


t=title

c=category/genre

e=encoding can be ignored

su=playlist URL

sm=playlist mime

sc=comma delimited playlist URLs 

scm=playlist source mime essentially the first playlist element mime

scb=playlist source bitrate essentially the first playlist element mime

pc=play count

dc=date created

app starts playing when headphones are unplugged

Burner vor 13 Jahren aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 13 Jahren 1
i use the built in sleeptimer at night, but when i unplug the speakers in the morning, the app starts playing again. is this a bug or is there a setting i'm missing?
Antwort
Jona (Lead Developer) vor 13 Jahren
This sounds like it could be a bug. Does it happen every time? Does this issue happen with v2.1.6? What phone and Android version do you have?
