ShoutCast diminishing

Peter vor 11 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 11 Jahren • 0
I have the impression that ShoutCast stations are diminishing, there are less stations that used to be. (for example: category "Blues" -> "Chicago Blues" just 3 stations, category "Blues" -> "Cajun/Zydeco" is empty now, "International" -> "Russian" has 30 stations, with repeats). What do you feel, are directory services vanishing at all? No way to count 50'000 stations. Direct streaming, without directories, from web page links, still works like a marvel!

Some stations might be pulling out such as di.fm stations. However, we recently added UberStations which is actively adding new stations and growing its stations directory. A lot of good stations you can't find on SHOUTcast you can now find using UberStations. I'm not sure what the future of SHOUTcast is but we will continue to support it 100%! :)

SHOUTCAST Station Not Working in Xiia LIVE

JKSAW vor 13 Jahren • aktualisiert von Tim M vor 13 Jahren • 1
For some reason, when I pull up my station in Xiia LIVE via the "Search" box and click on Play, it says "connecting" but it just hangs. I know that SHOUTCAST has had issues with their directory and fixed the problem in WINAMP, but my station won't play in Xiia LIVE. 

Any ideas?

This seems to be an issue with the internal stream engine :( 
If you turn it off it should work.

We'll investigate and try to fix this issue.
Thanks for your help!

Decrease in sound quality with version 3.0

jediguy vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 11 Jahren • 5

Great job on the redesign of the app.  The interface is cutting edge visually and very intuitive.  It also displays very well on my 7 inch tablet.  However, there is one significant issue with the new version I've noticed.  This issue is sound quality.

 

I used the previous version for quite a long time along side TuneIn Radio Pro and the sound quality between the two apps was identical.  I liked using XiiaLive as opposed to TuneIn because of the freedom in managing favorites and tags along with simple info about what's playing (no large album art or station logos).

 

In comparing the XiiaLive 3.0 with TuneIn, the sound delivered from XiiaLive sounds noticably more shallow especially when there's a lot going on the music (i.e. layered electric guitars, electronica with heavy bass, etc).  TuneIn, in comparison delivers a more full and complete sound.  I'm guessing this might be due to the XiiaLive's new sound engine with the equalizer and various effects.  I've tried turning the equalizer off and on in addition to the various equalizer settings and although the sound does change, I'm still left with the impression that the sound engine is just not delivering the rich sound delivered by the previous version. 

 

I would suggest fine tuning XiiaLive's sound delivered with the equalizer off so that it's identical to the previous version.  Then, of course, users could still customize the sound to their liking by turning on the equalizer and adjusting it accordingly.  I've been a big fan of XiiaLive, but sound quality is the #1 factor in my use of an app of this nature.  So, in summary, kudos for the new interface, but bring back the great sound quality!

Thanks for your feedback on the new app! :) We put a lot of work!


Sounds quality could possibly be different because we use the devices global audio session.  I think the main reason why the quality is different is because TuneIn I believe are decoding the audio using software and not hardware.  I would suggest you try using the stream engine FFmpeg to decode using software. Change it under Settings->Stream.


Let me know if you notice any issues there.  I will also investigate if I can notice any differences.  I'm also very particular about sound quality! :)

Negative playback time

Bryan vor 14 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 13 Jahren • 2
I am using 2.1.9 on my droid with CM 6.1.2, and when I went to bed, I turn on XiiaLive on my Wifi connection.  I went to bed and woke up about 8 hours later, and noticed that the running timer in the GUI was at -8000 seconds and counting down.  After it went down to 0, the timer clicked over and is running in the positive.  

Is there a maximum minutes before it goes to neagtive seconds?

Very interesting bug... mmm Let me try to reproduce this one and see what I find... I'm thinking this bug has been there for a while not just v2.1.9.

Xii starts running when using android music app with bluetooth headphones

Jasper Vermeulen vor 14 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 14 Jahren • 2
After listening to the Android Music player with my Bluetooth head phone I press pause on it to have the music stop playing. Now the android player stops playing, but Xiia seems to start playing. This happens even when Xiia does not appear to be running.
I use a sony dr-bt-21g headphone with a htc hero with android 2.1 update 1.
Anyway great app!

If you don't like XiiaLive to take control of the media cotnrols you can simply go to settings under XiiaLive and select "User experience" and turn off the "Media controls" This should resolve your issue.

MOJA radio?

Steve Ealy vor 10 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 10 Jahren • 1
I recently dumped and then reloaded Xiia then realized that my favorite internet sta. from NYC could not be tuned in. This sta. is MOJA radio, where MOJA stands for modern jazz. The proprietor's name is Russ Davis.
I also have this station on my desktop and listen via Winamp but I guess my 2 year old LG phone won't accept the Winamp program? 
Perhaps you know of a link? Or maybe there's another way to search for the station?
Thanks in advance!

Jona (Lead Developer) vor 10 Jahren
Have you tried looking for the station using the SHOUTcast directory? You can switch to SHOUTcast directory via XiiaLive.
