Hi! I have got a big problem with Xiia lite. I try to open a random stream, but Xiia is not able to play it, just buffering instead. Starting the stream, prebuffers for about 10 secs, and then tries to open the stream but drops connection and buffering, buffering, buffering all the time. Only i can hear is the constant annoying buffer sound. Xiia does it whether i open a stream in top stations or open an m3u or pls file, or give an URL manually. I use stabile Wifi connection with 20 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up speed. What is the problem there?

Release date:

02/21/2013

Notes:

New update is out! This new update focuses on few main features. 

1. Revised alarm feature. The alarms feature needed some love and care and now they have been improved big time! You will now be able to snooze a triggered alarm, also we added two new settings options for alarms. The new alarm setting options allow you to change the volume fading length and also the snooze length. Another great improvement is that when alarm playback fails a default alarm ringtone will be triggered.

2. Updated the menu bar items order. It has been suggested many times by many of you that going from the player to favorites was a bit awkward or just not quick enough. You first needed to swipe all the way to the left and finally click on favorites. Now favorites is conveniently located to the left of the player and history to the right. Now it feels much better and quicker! Hope you feel the same way!

3. New Status bar notifications! The new notifications will allow you to quickly turn off playback by clicking on the X and control PREV/NEXT/PAUSE. *Note that PREV/NEXT are only supported by XiiaLive Pro version. *The new notifications are only available on devices running Android 4.0 and greater. 

Don't have XiiaLive already? Get it here!

Finally it's out! We are providing early access via the Android Market to our beta version of XiiaLive.  This will allow us, with your help, improve stable updates going into XiiaLive and XiiaLive Lite.

In Xiialive 3.3.1.3, the backup favorites has changed and makes it impossible to backup favorites and restore favorits without File Explorer app. When i press backup, it ask me to share to somewhere

Note: i will use Droid4X emulator to reproduce the bug, and not on my real device that i'm using it daily

After that, the temp files are created in /xiialive/temp

Without a data in the backup folder, Xiialive could not restore the file

Without any apps that Xiialive could share with, the app crashes

I grabbed the error log using Catlog app

Please bring back the old method to backup the favorites from 3.3.1.0. There is no need to change anything when it works fine.

Also I want Google backup feature that i can sync my settings and my favorites into my Google account

We still need an exit button! after I stopping the play, and push back button, the app do not closes it'self: it plays the last playewd station....
C'mon guys! it should not to be difficult to insert little close button! -.-

I would like to request the equalizer be expanded to a 10 band equalizer. The sound quality between a 5 band and a 10 band is astronomical.

PowerAmp has a very well implemented 10 band equalizer with limiter, stereo expander and fine tune controls if you would like an example to test the difference.

I realize it is an extreme amount of research and work to build a proper working equalizer, especially with a limiter and expander etc. However, if you do go through the work, the rewards are amazing and make the app a huge step above all other apps. Everyone has the crappy limited 5 band equalizer. PowerAmp was the only music player on android that I found that had a working 10 band or better equalizer.

Old Winamp Pro had a 16 band equalizer but it is broken on Android 5.1 as well as it's no longer on the market for new users.
