How does XiiaLive stream shoutcast stations flawlessly?
Slow MP3 connect with Android 2.3 and above
I am using the latest version of XiiaLive Pro on several Android devices running Android versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 3.2. The stream I am connecting to is from my own Windows 2003 server using Proscan’s RadioFeed. I have also used Broadwave’s Streaming Audio Server with the same results. I am streaming a live police scanner from this URL: http://weather.dixonottawa.com:2002/RadioFeed.mp3
This works great with any Windows computer as well as the Android 2.1 and 2.2 devices. With Android 2.1 and 2.2 it will connect and start playing in just a few seconds. However on the Android 2.3 and 3.2 devices it buffers quickly to 99% and then sits there for approximately 90 seconds before it starts playing. I am sending Meta tags along with the audio that show the scanner channel that is being received. The Meta data is displayed almost instantly. With 90 seconds of delay in the audio stream it is difficult to see what scanner channel was being received at the time the audio reached the encoder.
I read in the forums that there is a similar problem with AAC streams on Android versions 2.3 and above with RTSP. Did Android break the MP3 as well? Are there any work arounds for this problem? Can I do anything on the server side that might help?
Unlike music listeners I am not concerned if there is an audio drop out occasionally. I have the XiiaLive buffers both set for 1000. I have tried using the XiiaLive internal stream engine. It never connects and says it is connecting then says it is disconnecting over and over.
Suggestions?
I got your email, thanks! I was able to test the URL you provided and have a few suggestions for your server that might fix the issues you are having.
- To be able to start the stream faster could you set the initial connection burst of data really high on your server?
- Remove/disable the icy-metadata on yourserver. This should allow it to stream using the internal stream engine… Yes, bug on our side L. Next release we are adding an option to disable icy-metadata.
its really lagging on my xperiar U plz help me out
Have you recently updated your device OS to Android 4.0? Seems like that update brought the device performance down.

Can you help?
How to add your station.
can't find known stations
I have a new Samsung Galaxy S4 (but the problem existed on my Google Nexus as well), Android 4.2
Screen Next/Prev button is not working in Beta on Galaxy Note AT&T
Hello!
XiiaLive is great radio player but I recently changed phone and have weird issue!
I added two stations to favorites and try pressing next/prev buttons on the screen. Nothing happens. I have settings to browse Favourites in Settings.
I checked it with AT&T Galaxy Note with Android 2.3, 4.0.4 and 4.1.
At the same time I have Motorola Atrix which works correct with Android 2.3
Any ideas?
On the latest official release of XiiaLive V3 we have allowed skipping your favorites via the player screen. However, in order to skip via BT or headset controls you will need to get the Pro version.
Alarm doesn't stop
When starts the alarm app, the player controls doesn't show the current station and elapsed playing, the playing starts in background and it's impossible shut down or stop the playing off the alarm app until open a task manager app and to force to close xiialive. This happens in ICS 4, the latest version of pro (3.0.1)
Thank you for your bug report. Just to confirm I understand your issue.
When the alarm starts you don't see the player being opened?
