Fixing so CheapestStream Streams Will Play

Chris Haslage 13 aastat tagasi uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 12 aastat tagasi 10
I have a stream with CheapestStreams and they have an output that mimics ShoutCast, though XiiaLive won't play it:

Not sure if it's a bug on their end or yours, but I figured I'd pose it.  Thanks!

There seems to be something wrong with the AACP decoder you are using? It doens't decode properly on PC Winamp program and also the app is having issues.  One thing I did find was that we didn't have the mime audio/aacp declared on our app manifest to report to Android that we support this media type.

Favorites Scan

Michael Duncan 12 aastat tagasi uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 12 aastat tagasi 1
I noticed in the settings menu that there are scan options, including duration and whether you want to scan to be random. Is this supposed to be for favorite stations? I cannot figure out how it works. After I select a favorite, the first favorite that comes up after I select the forward arrows is random, but after that if goes through my favorites in alphabetical order. It also does not change favorites after 15 seconds. Is this feature in effect for the most  recent beta? If it is, how do I access it?

Ah! I'll be making tutorial videos for all the new features once we release Xiia officially. :)

So the feature SCAN mimics your car stereo scan feature...  How it works is that you go to a list of stations. It can be used on any favorites, top hits, genre or a search lists. Simple drag down on the selected menu bar button to get the drop down menu options for that list. There you will find the SCAN feature.  Let me know what you think!

Resume in playlist

Сергей Чечулин 10 aastat tagasi uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 9 aastat tagasi 3
I listen to DI.FM station and have some favorite channels. DI gives me link on my favorites playlist like http://listen.di.fm/public1/favorites.pls?fa37<my_...>1f
I added this link in XiiaLive, it handled correctly, everything work fine, but when im exit app an open it again autoresume feature stars play on 1st station in playlist. But when i reconnect bluetooh headset it's start to play on last station as suggested. I tried playlist caching on and off - nothing changed.

Also it would be great favorites and playlist shuffle feature.

Thanks for the feedback! We currently don't save the last played position on the playlist. This is why when you return to play something you played a while ago it doesn't start there. I have added this request to our bug list. Hopefully should be fixed soon.

About the shuffle feature I will also add that to our features request list. If you don't mind me asking... just curious, why do you need the shuffle feature? Thanks!

Different Sorting Methods for Favorites

jediguy 13 aastat tagasi uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 12 aastat tagasi 10

Currently the favorites system allows for sorting based on category and the number of plays for the station.  When a large number of stations is in one categaory the sort by number of plays method can become confusing. I suggest adding an option the user can select to sort stations alphabetically.

XiiaLive v3 now has a lot of new options for filtering and sorting your stations and songs!

Can't stop notification sound

J a y 14 aastat tagasi uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 14 aastat tagasi 5
Until today's 2.1.9 update, I was able to silence the notification sounds. Now, I select "Disabled", but the sounds remain. This must be a bug in the update. Please add it to your list of tasks for the next update. Thanks.

Station buttons without player showing

wild_thing 12 aastat tagasi uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 12 aastat tagasi 0
I'm using the pro-version on my tablet.
When pressing a homescreen shortcut, the player windows opens.
Now when you want to change the radio station, you have slide the right border, go to favourites, press the according button. Or go back to homescreen and press another shortcut.

On an tablet the player window is ridicoulos big with more or less nothing on it.

 Can you please make the shortcuts to start playing in the background or improve the player window and add a better link to station buttons /plus volume keys) there.


As it is now, it's a pain to change the station.

Jona (Lead Developer) 12 aastat tagasi

XiiaLive v3.0.1.1 has been improved to include favorites button to the left of the player button on the menu bar. This should help partially to your request.  We are already working on a new optimized design concept for tablets. We have no release date yet for this new design.


Thanks for your feedback! It really helps us!

Retries (new version)

Brien 14 aastat tagasi uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 14 aastat tagasi 0
The new release works is considerbly better playing stresming audio in a mobile environment. The piece that is missing is an option for unlimited retries since no cellular service has contiguous coverage even in a large city. Timeouts even in your latest version are still an issue.

Regards,
Brien

Thanks for your feedback! We will at least increase the amount of retries for next update if not add the option to retry unlimited.

The end goal is to provide easy access via the player to toggle the retries to a count or unlimited.

Ogg streaming decoding problems

-sandro- 13 aastat tagasi uuendaja Jona (Lead Developer) 10 aastat tagasi 18

Hello,
I'm using the free version 2.2.4 and I'm experiencing problems with OGG streams.
I listen to this stream http://listen.tbrn.net:8888/tbrn.ogg.m3u, it's an independent station that usually streams shows from archives. The problems is that everytime a new show starts the audio decoding becomes full of errors with hisses and robotic/alien sound (like when you get a bad signal from digital tv) , solution is to stop and restart the stream.
Two are the things that could cause the problem:
- since the bitrate seems variable when there's a change of show from their part in the 1sec pause the bitrate drops to near 0 and then back to normal and the decoder could  have problems with this (unlikely since there could be silent parts in every show)
- the most reasonable one is that this happens everytime a description of the stream changes since its concurrent with a beginning of a new show/program.


Thank you

I have tested the reported streams with the latest version of XiiaLive v3.2.0.8 and everything seems to be working fine. If anyone still having issues please let me know. For now I'll be closing this post as fixed.
