Bluetooth AVRCP metadata not working Samsung Note 3

Jamey Sewell vor 11 Jahren in Bluetooth / AVRCP • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 10 Jahren • 29 • 1 duplikat
I use to be able to see Art, Song, and Artist information on my MyLink screen Chevy Equinox 2013 when using Droid Bionic (Jelly Bean). I recently switched to Samsung Note 3 and now the information doesn't show anymore. Please help

To summarize this post:

Previous release of XiiaLive we decided to disable the Bluetooth AVRCP metadata "HACK" for Android versions 4.3 and greater. The reason was that since Android 4.3 Android OS made some APIs available to send metadata over Bluetooth using a legit API. However, it seems that some devices fail to properly support the new APIs and for that reason we have re-enabled the "HACK" on the latest release.


The "HACK" can be enabled if not already enabled here:

No Volume Conrol in Landscape Mode (3.3.0.2 Classic Light Theme)

Thomas Forrester vor 10 Jahren • aktualisiert von Dennis Sullivan vor 10 Jahren • 1
In the car, I use my phone in landscape mode.  The new v3.3.0.2 Classic Light theme has no volume control in landscape, and the icon to get to the volume slider (like is found in Classic Dark) is not there either.  This might not be such an issue for me if you had implemented the feature request I made many moons ago - remember the "Initial volume on bluetooth connect" I suggested (and that you thought was a GREAT idea)?  In the absence of either of those, this theme is a no-go for me.  :(

We are currently looking into this area.  We have strongly aimed at a robust streaming experience and now we are slowly adding more features to the app.  One of those will be album art.

High CPU usage on Samsung Galaxy S2

Bogdan Udrescu vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von TurningColorz vor 9 Jahren • 4

Although it functions impeccably, Xiia Live free version is causing a High CPU usage on Samsung Galaxy S2. When I stop listening I have to always stop it from Task Manager. Otherwise it will drain my battery very quickly. Also, Task Manager shows 7-9% cpu usage even after I press STOP on the player and the mobile connection shows it is still active.

Antwort
Jona (Lead Developer) vor 12 Jahren

The cpu usage on the free version is due mainly to ads with some type of animation. This is normal cpu usage when animations or things are moving around visually. Also, the player scrolling text will cause CPU usage.


I see there is a CPU usage on the free version for some reason after closing the app. I'll take a look since this shouldn't be happening! Thanks for discovering that!

Internal stream engine bug report (2.1.9 paid version)

blaxx vor 14 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 11 Jahren • 0
Hi again! :-) Looks like some good progress is being made with the addition of the internal stream engine.
I realize it is in the beta stage right now but thought you might like to know of any issues.
If wifi, and 3g are on, when the phone goes out of range of the wifi, the internal stream engine will not attempt to connect to the available 3g signal, instead what happens is a, what I call a "endless audio loop". the last 500 milliseconds or so of audio at the time the phone looses the wifi signal, loops endlessly, and Xiialive becomes unresponsive, the only way to restart Xiialive (streaming engine) is to go to the app manager, and force stop Xiialive, this will happen with any Mpeg stream (I haven't tested AAC) If the android stream engine is used this does not happen, Xiialive just pauses and resumes audio using 3g.
My details are: PHONE-Samsung Captivate; OS-Froyo 2.2 stock firmware; OPERATOR-AT&T.
To avoid any confusion, in previous posts I made, I was on US Cellular using a Samsung Mesmerize, I got tired of CDMA data issues so I am now on AT&T, much better on the data side now. :-)
If you need any further information, just let me know and I will try to give you as many details as possible.
Have a good day. :-)

Playlist caching causing playback to fail

Marc F vor 11 Jahren • aktualisiert von Jona (Lead Developer) vor 10 Jahren • 12
Steps to reproduce the problem:
Add a new favorite into Xiialive with a URL like this:
http://abc.com/playlist.pls
Where playlist.pls file contains the following stream addresses:
http://server1.abc.com/station.aac
http://server2.abc.com/station.aac

In this case Xiialive will behave correctly, playing the stream from server1. If that address fails, Xiialive will play from server2.

However, suppose later in the day the contents of http://abc.com/playlist.pls has changed to the following because server1 and server2 are down:
http://server3.abc.com/station.aac
http://server4.abc.com/station.aac

Now when the user attempts to play the station Xiialive will have cached the server1 and server2 addresses and still attempt to play them, and playback will therefore fail.

Workaround:
Currently the only workaround I've found is to briefly play a different station (this will flush the cached stream addresses) and then reselect the favourite. This will cause http://abc.com/playlist.pls to be re-downloaded and playback will succeed.

Suggested solution:
Provide a setting toggle to force the playlist to re-downloaded on each playback attempt.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm removing playlist URL caching for manually added URL links. This should make things a bit better with issues such as the one you are having.

After enabling the internal stream engine for the first time i haven't been able to retain Bluetooth connection with my car stereo, it connects and disconnects within 5sec everytime.  Same thing happened back in may when this feature was first added with my old  T-Mobile MyTouch 4G, and it happen again with the latest update on my new MyTouch 4G. im an very sad because this happens always now, even with internal stream engine disabled.  please help this is very annoying.

Antwort

This seems like an issue with the Android OS.  I've seen couple issues reported on this area.  I assume you are running the latest version of Android and not a custom ROM.

You could try reproducing the issue and right away capturing the logs.
