We are planning to include new widgets with the app.  Also, if you are a developer you can create your own widgets and place them on the Android Market.

connection dropped / Android media server died:extra:0 // android media failure:what:-38:extra:0

thkg00fy 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 1

Hi again,


here is the next post regarding my second device. It's an ODYS Xelio, an Android 4.0 powered low price tablet.


On this device I have problems using the "Android" stream engine. Regardless which kind of stream I want to connect to (mp3 or aac+): the engine fails!

On aac+ it tells "connection dropped" or (if I push the PAUSE icon at the right moment) "Android media server died:extra:0". If I try to connect to a mp3 source I get "android media failure:what:-38:extra:0"...

Whatever, the "FFMpeg" engine works well on this device, due to the device specs (quite powerful CPU), so I still can use it! it's just sad, that I can't use the "PAUSE" (caching) function of XiiaLive on this device...  :-(


So, is there any way to help you to fix this issues?


Kind regards again

Very interesting device, never seen it! :P


Well the deal with Android OS across devices is that most companies implement their own media framework and that sucks for us since they don't test as much as they should, and most of the time their stuff is missing bunch of things causing issues like the one you are seeing.


In order to try to figure out what could be going on I would need you to collect the logs when trying to stream aac/aac+ and then another for mpeg.  To collect the logs is really simple just follow these steps.

FFmpeg seeking and caching support is coming soon. I'm already working on it! :)

seeking

Jamey Sewell 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 4

Xiia won't automatically switch decoding engines when going from an mp3 station to aac station. If I leave the stream engine on Android, then switch to a station like http://ice7.securenetsystems.net:80/IPARTY

It won't connect to that station unless I manually set it back to ffmpeg.


 I just switched from the beta to 3.0.0.0.1 (hoping it would fix the issue). Running Android Version 4.0.4 System Version 6.7.2233.xt875 (ICS).

Update 11/14/13

I'm closing this issue since we have exhausted various areas to resolve streaming issues using our Android streaming hack. However, main reason for closing this issue is that we are already finishing up on a brand new stream engine that will simply work on just about any device.


-------

It seems like your device is having issues streaming AAC content via Android.  Essentially "Android" stream engine uses the actual Android OS to stream these stations. "FFmpeg" stream engine decodes and does everything from within XiiaLive.  For more info on that hit the (?) on Stream engine under Settings->Stream.


Could you see what error occurs when you try streaming your station using Android stream engine? Thanks!

Is it possible to add a clock in Play main window? I think there is enough space to do this.

Something like this:

favourite category customizations

pip pep 10 years ago updated by Ralph 9 years ago 1
i'm luky to have met this app right hig in advance, so first of all thank you for your work!

Then, what i'd need is to have the possibility to create custom category in favourites, and fit stations in the folder i prefer, since actually similar genres coming from various casts have divided into many folders, and i can only go into "all" that is not good if i.e. i want listen to techno and forwarding it goes into pop and then house...

Maybe even it is possible and i am not able to do it, because i'm using this app for 2 days

Off topic: enlarge volume bar and reduce playing one to a slim bar, it is so obvious to use into car! I prefer older themes, anyway 4 are few but all should have always volume ready to touch, maybe on two lines, one for eq etc and a bigger one for volume set on bottom horizontally

How do you turn the program OFF

Kristen Bentz 14 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago 1 1 duplicate
When I'm done listening to one of the very limited talk programs, so not worth the money, how do you stop the program and turn it off?????
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago
Hello, you can always easily stop streaming by sliding down the task bar and clicking on the XiiaLive icon. This will take you to the player, there you simply press stop.

**Note that if XiiaLive is streaming you will always see the XiiaLive icon at the task bar.
