Display Favorite Title on Live View

Terrence Jones vor 13 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 13 Jahren • 0
I wish the name I chose as my favorite Title were displayed in the Live view's station name field.  The stations that I listen to have long and annoying titles which scroll and are distracting when driving.

I realize that I can double-click to disable scrolling, but this is inconvenient when driving (can't this be set as a default?)

This is definitively a great idea.   That should be the behavior.  I will set this as planned. Thanks for your feedback!

Navigation Volume Incompatibility Bluetooth/AUX (Gingerbread)

Raheel Aidrus vor 13 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 13 Jahren • 0

There is a general problem with navigation voice prompts being played at an inaudible level when another media app is playing over bluetooth or even line-out (aux) connection. The latest gingerbread music app works fine, but XiiaLive and others (winamp) do not play nicely with navigation voice prompts. The music volume gets lowered, but the navigation voice prompt is so low that it cannot be understood. Since the latest gingerbread music app doesn't suffer from this issue any more, I thought maybe XiiaLive could also implement a similar fix.

XiiaLive v2.2.4 - release notes

Jona (Lead Developer) vor 13 Jahren • aktualisiert vor 13 Jahren • 2

Release date: 09/22/11

Version: v2.2.4


Update v2.2.4 is mainly a maintenance update.  This update resolves a few issues that caused XiiaLive to crash.


Most of the crash issues where related to the database being closed on rare occasions. This is hopefully completely resolved.


Other crash issues happened with the new custom lower menu bar.  There was an issue related to divide by zero exception.


And finally s little threading cleanup for the stream engine.  Generally creating a new thread uses a lot of resources and can cause the app to run a little slower.  A few threads where removed on the stream engine that weren't needed minimizing the resources used by the stream engine.


The following are the changes.

Antwort
Jona (Lead Developer) vor 13 Jahren

Fixes:

-Rare crash when starting a new stream caused by invalid sound effect theme.

-Auto resize menu bar divide by zero crash.

-Various database exceptions that caused app to crash.

-Minor app optimization by consolidating multiple threads into one.

Filter vs Sort

kc27 vor 9 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 8 Jahren • 2
XiiaLive is a great applicaiton and the filters are a useful tool. Will you be adding a sorting functionality? I am looking to be able to sort a list of stations. For example, I select the genre "Swing". Once XiiaLive returns the list of stations, I would like to be able to sort them in ascending or descending order by a user selected criteria such as number of listeners or bitrate.

If this functionality is there, I cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Jona (Lead Developer) vor 8 Jahren

Hey we already have sorting options. Please see the following post to see how to access these features.

Scrobbling Bug with new Version

André Evertz vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 11 Jahren • 3 • 1 duplikat

 Hi,


first at all I want to thank you for this great android app.

On the latest Version I cant enable the Last.fm Scrobbling option in config. When I leave the config Tab it switched back to "Off". The latest version of the official Last.fm App is installed on my phone (HTC One X, Android 4.0.4).

App data usage

Canth vor 10 Jahren • 0
Nexus 6 with Lollipop 5.0.1
version of Xiialive: 3.3.0.3

I just bought the pro version of Xiialive. Sofar I'm liking it quite much, but there are some niggles.
Most important one is data usage. The 'About' screen shows some statistics like data usage and total playing time. According to the app I've been listinging to music for 75 minutes. The data usage for this 75 minutes is 70MB; I've only been listening to 128kbps stations so this seems a bit high (128kbps should be around 43 MB per hour unless I'm calculating wrong) but still acceptable. Unfortunately my provider tells me that I've been using 248MB of data. My phone then tells me that 99% of this traffic is caused by Xiialive. This is quite some way removed from the 70MB that the app specified. Do you have any idea what might be going on here? I'm using the app in the car a lot, so using WiFi is not really an option

Retry with ascending time interval.

Arrowcatcher vor 14 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 14 Jahren • 1
Rather than give up after 6 quick retries, it may be more convenient to have retry continue at longer and longer time intervals. This would help greatly when the app is used to stream in a moving auto. The present retry setup sometimes gives up before a network site handoff can occur, requiring the distraction of a manual restart.
Antwort
Jona (Lead Developer) vor 14 Jahren
Current design loops around a whole playlist 5 times. So if the playlist has only one url it only will retry 5 times, and if it had 5 urls it will retry 25 times. If after any count of retries and it successfully reconnects we reset the amount of retries and you get 5 retries again.

We will review the possibility to allow unlimited retries as an option.

Stream select

Purecut vor 10 Jahren • aktualisiert von Ralph vor 9 Jahren • 2
I'm missing the function to select from a multiple stream what kind of stream I want to play. For example Frisky Radio offers AAC and two MP3 streams with different stream quality. In TuneIn I can select what kind of stream I want to here. This function I'm missing in XiiaLive. It takes only the first one and I have no change to switch to my AAC stream. I do not want to go back to TuneIn!
