Error connecting to local sc_serv and sc_trans
I have a stock Droid 4 running the latest XiiaLive from the market. I have two local Shoutcast servers that I use to stream songs to my phone over WiFi. The first server uses sc_serv and Winamp to as the encoder (thus MP3), and the second server uses sc_serv and sc_trans with AAC+ as the encoder. I don't have anything special set in the configuration files, other than the servers do not connect to public YP.
The sc_serv is the 07/31/2011 version, and sc_trans is 10/07/2011.
On my plain Droid, XiiaLive connects fine to both servers. The Droid 4 running XiiaLive will only connect to the first configuration cleanly. It does not connect to the second AAC+ encoder shoutcast. It appears to be synchronizing, but then the display shows something like PVMFPending (it disappears too fast to see) and the connection is dropped.
If I change to using the internal streaming engine, XiiaLive running on the Droid 4 will connect to both Shoutcast servers.

I'm planning to start it very soon. Most likely sometime January I'll have a beta directory version.

Widget
Hallo
in 3.3.0.4 the Widget is to big under Lollipop in 4x1. The player bottom space are to wide. The left FF button is under the 4 lines. BTW. for what are these 4 lines. I never saw a function. Rmove the xiiaLive slogan from the left. In this case you have enough space for the line to switch to the left and the left ff will be shown.
Also can you add a function under settings to give the widget a transparent value. or to change the color of the widget.

importing radio stations from file
How can I import a list of radio stations from a file?
My ISP makes over 100 stations available for free streaming (ie does not count towards my download quota) and they provide a list of the stations in a number of different formats (m3u, pls, opml, rss, plain text)
Is there a way I can import one of those formats? If I specify the .pls url in the add favourites, it only plays the first station in the list.
Thanks

What service fetches album art for internet radio? I'd like to add to it.
I listen to PlusFM, on its site it is full of artwork even for the most obscure song. But Xilla/Shoutcast retrieves different/no album art for many songs. I'd like to update whatever database it is pulling the artwork from, if that's possible. Is it possible?

Hi Mike,
unfortunately it's not possible from XiiaLive app but you can try to update the station artwork on UberStations.
Please look the follow link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oePpxKzLRCEcbpgV6cwb-XEyrXjDUsbryswTxIMv1F8/edit

Planned
Multiple alarm choices, including local file
When using the alarm to wake up, it's important to always get noise. My idea is then to add a fallback local file to play if the chosen radio station, or wifi, is unavailable.
Of course this would disable unlimited retries, since unlimited failure also means no wake-up alarm sound.
If you want to make it even shinier, have the Set Alarm preferences come with a '+ Add extra station' button, letting the user add a list of fallback stations or local fils(s).
/signed: so happy with xiialive that it was the first program I bought in play store :)

Thanks for your feedback and making us your first paid app! :)
This is an area that could definitely be improved a bit more. Having fallback stations I think is a great idea and I'll set this as planned.
Currently if the alarm station fails to connect or it is taking too long to connect we trigger the default alarm sound. So even if unlimited retries is active the alarm default sound will still be triggered if a connection took too long.

Hey guys, unfortunately we don't control the content of the directory. We've previously seen this particular station disappear and come back up. Hope this time it returns.
