customize station listing

Karl Roebling 12 years ago updated by anonymous 5 years ago 2

Hi, I'd like to be able to add a short text to each station in my favorites. I have some I'm only interested in because they rebroadcast a favorite show (Car Talk, A Prairie Home Companion, Dennis Miller) at a special time. But the alphabet soup of consonents that my favorites list displays offers me no clue which station I saved for what show & time. Gimmee a comments column or the ability to edit station titles, please.

Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago

Great question and we got a great solution! :)  What you looking for is already supported. All you need to do is:

1. Long press the station you want to edit. 

2. Click Edit.


You will be able to change the title of the station and also the category.  Category is like a genre or a description of what the station is or in what group the station should be part of.

High System CPU usage while XiiaLive active on Lollipop

Nicolay Doytchev 10 years ago updated 10 years ago 1

  1. SONY Xperia Z2
  2. Android 5.0.2
  3. System uses around 45% CPU while XiiaLive is active. That is during playback, as well as while stopped (notification still visible)
  4. System's CPU usage stays close to its baseline 5-15%, because the high usage eats battery very quickly.
  5. Search for SomaFM Groove Salad, play the station, observe the System CPU usage via OS Monitor

No original screen on landscape mode

steverow 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 0
Hi, on my Moto Xoom there is now no "Original" big button screen in landscape mode, only portrait. As I can only use it on the car dash in landscape, this is a problem, when the big buttons and vol control were previously very well optimised for vehicle use. Is this coming back, or if not could you point me to somewhere where I could get the previous version again.

Many Thanks

Steve

Online streams .pls .asx .m3u just keep buffering or "service crashed"

Coldvodka 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 0

Guys,


What happened? I used to be able to streams just fine on my Evo 4G, but after the recent update and getting a new Samsung Galaxy S3 4.0.4 stock, all I get is "service crashed" and/or it just keeps buffering non-stop on 4G LTE Verizon. Does the same thing on the Beta version. Steams work fine in VLC on my mac and PC. Previous versions worked fine?


What can I do? How can I help? Would love to get you guys back as my #1 app on the phone for streaming radio!


Thanks

XiiaLive not responding to media buttons on bluetooth headset

Markus (Aedilum) 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 7
Hey there!
I recently grabbed your paid app to get the bluetooth controls advertised since I'm generally listening using my Sony MW600. However, when pressing the start/stop key XiiaLive doesn't react even though it's the currently active app. The key does however start playback on my other media player, Poweramp, which is set as my default player.
Is this a known conflict or a bug? If you want logs, it's no problem at all.
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago
Thanks for your feedback! There seems to be a small issue with playback controls on some newer Android versions.  This issue has been resolved and will be release very soon.  You can download our XiiaLive Beta from the Market which has this issue already resolved.  If you keep the paid version installed it will unlock the paid features on the beta. Let me know if this works for you.

You shouldn't need password to use the app. Where did you download the app from?

XiiaLive keeps stopping when playing shoutcast/icecast stream

sa4720k 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 3

I'm trying to run an iceCast stream from my server, but XiiaLive plays for only a few seconds (depending on how long I set the buffer size to) and then stops and rebuffers.  The stream is not constant.  This is very annoying specially with the sound effects turned on.  

I've tried multiple configurations of the stream buffers, but none of them work.  I purchased the full version specifically because it would allow me to change the buffer sizes, but changing them doesn't seem to have any affect.  Is there a way to fix this problem.  Btw, my music is streaming at 64kbs.

It has been a while since this issue was posted. We have changed a lot of things since then on our streaming engine. If you are still having any issues please let us know.

I cannot listen LBC 1152

Роман Синенко 10 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 10 years ago 1
During about two weeks I can't listen this station Program writes "request not found e:54" I used free or pro (from Amazon) version of program on two different Android phones and had the same result. Could you fixed it?
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 10 years ago
Are you trying to play from your favorites? If you are please remove the favorite station and try searching again for the station. Start playing the searched station and add it back again as a favorite.

Some cases the URL links to a station expire or simply no longer work. This rarely happens and the only way to fix it is as it was mentioned above. Hope this helped! :)
