Home screen favorite stations shortcuts doesn't work

Slava Ivanyuk 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 4
When I open a station through favorites widget most of the time I'm getting unexpected stop. Player enters endless retry loop, and never plays the station. If I open the same station through favorites menu inside the player everything is working just fine.

Can you increase the ongoing buffer size?

Jona (Lead Developer) 15 years ago updated 14 years ago 2
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago

Yes! You can set your "pre-buffer" and "ongoing-buffer" in the settings page area.
Tip: The higher the time the longer it will take to start playing.

Android 4.4 Kit Kat / Nexus 5 unable to connect to streams

Mark R 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 7

So I just got my N5 and love the device.

But.. can't listen to streams.

Looks like Google changed something in 4.4.


A workaround is to use the FFMpeg engine.


Happy to test patches if you need me to.

Add TSN radio (AM) across Canada.

Peter Tzagarakis 10 years ago updated by Ralph 9 years ago 1
Would love it if TSN AM radio were added across Canada. Some stations are available, but not all. For me particularly would be the addition of TSN 1260 Edmonton. As soon as that's available, I'll dump Tunein radio in a second.

Why do some of my favorites no longer play?

Jona (Lead Developer) 15 years ago updated 15 years ago 0
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 15 years ago
There are a couple reasons why some of your favorites aren’t playing.

1. The radio broadcast server/s is/are possibly down, full or no longer available.

2. The broadcast moved to new servers. In the case they move to new servers you can just try finding the radio station again via search and add it back to your favorites.

Lost Backup File

DonpK 10 years ago updated 9 years ago 12

I have been add stations to the Favorites list by editing the "backup.xiia" file and saving it to "sdcard/xiialive/backup/backup.xiia" . I may have done something wrong, because now when I select "Restore from xml file" I get an error message saying "Backup file not found under path:" "/storage/emulated/0/xiialive/backup/backup.xiia".


Any suggestions about how to fix this problem?

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 10 years ago

Hey @DonpK sorry for the delay responding to your question... :/ and thanks @Evildog for your help! :)


So doing what you did should have worked. If the file was corrupted for some reason I think it should have given an error saying that it was corrupted. You can attempt to retry the action and right after trigger a bug report. On the bug report place this post URL as a reference. Hopefully, that gives me an idea what is going on. Also, the other deal would be to look at your actual backup file.


So anyways, the xiia file is a bit tricky to edit and can break easily, mainly because it wasn't made to be edited. Also, doing backups and restores is way to hard... For that reason we created a new way to backup and restore your favorites which is super easy. Release v3.3.1 is now slowly rolling out with this feature.


So now with the new backup file it is a bit easier to know how to modify the file. Also, the backup is now shared to any location you want. To restore you can just tap on the file from any location, email, dropbox, etc... and XiiaLive will be suggested to open it.

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 15 years ago
Moving already installed apps to the SD card can break some things such as the widget. In order to fix this particular issue with the widget you will need to:

1. Remove broken widget
2. Restart phone
3. Add widget again

Utilize 60 minute buffer in car without cell service or wifi

Kev Levin 11 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 4
Hello,
Is there a way to listen to the 60 minute buffer cache without cell service or wifi? Is there a setting to put the paid version on so you do not get a connection timeout and lose your buffer cache!

I do not have cell service so I wanted to cache 60 minutes in the buffer over wifi and then listen to the 60 minute cache in may car without using a cell service.
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago
Thanks for the request. Currently there is no option for what you are saying. Essentially, we will be adding the ability to record soon. This will allow you to record a live stream and be able to listen to it later on.

Hello Adam,

as Evildog says, holding the selected station on History, then you will get a menu where you can remove it.

Thanks Evildog.


Best,
