Any possibility of making our own custom theme?
The current themes are nice for portrait and landscape mode on smaller devices, once you get onto larger tablets they don't work out so well or rather space could be used much more efficiently.
For example, I personally hate seeing album art as I find it a complete waste of screen space. With the Classic Light theme selected on my Nexus 7, I would personally much rather have the right sidebar (search/favorites/player/settings..etc) always open OR on the left side I would add bar listing my favorites for easy selection rather than having to constantly go back to the Favorites area. As well I would expand the current playback bar to the entire width, moving the play/stop/next buttons up and add full width volume slider, very large prev/play/stop/next buttons above the volume...etc.
Actually after writing that out, I'm after a theme that is much more car user friendly. I have a customized device in my dash and the current themes don't look good or operate well in landscape.
Thanks for the post about this topic. So yeah the app design was never optimized for larger devices. For sure we want to optimize it but we just don't have enough time.
We are open to suggestions and if any designer wants to create a skin for the app we are open to talk about it! We would mainly want to see previous work before tipping our hats... :)
History Not Clearing
Whenever I try to clear the search history, the result or results does not clear and it does nothing.
So the answer is no. While using UberStations the auto complete list is just suggestions coming from a server based on the text you are writing, not a search history. However, when using the SHOUTcast directory the search auto complete shows you only search history suggestions. This can't be cleared at the moment. I'm guessing that is what you are seeing maybe? In any case improving the search history auto complete with clear option will be worked on soon.
unsupported media @ shoutcast
I've switched through 10 stations. Only 1 was working. The others had unsupported media error. Example: bigbeatradio.com works via winamp and vlc on pc but not in this app.
Cannot skip through favorites without trying to connect to each first
I used to be able to quickly skip through my favorites using the forward/backward skip buttons until I found the favorite station I was looking for. Now, since 1 or 2 app updates ago, I have to wait for each favorite to try connecting before it will allow me to skip to the next (if you try pressing skip before the player has tried connecting, it stays on the same favorite it is currently trying to load). This is very annoying when you have a lot of favorites to cycle through. Please fix the ability to keep skipping through favorites without waiting for the player to try connecting.
I'm on version 3.3.1.10-30054.
Xiialive take long time to buffering and freezing my device
I joined the beta version and updated to 3.3.1.7. Xiialive take very long buffer on any stations and freezing my device. 30 sec later, it will play audio but still at 00:00:00. when i try to seek, it goes back to 00:00:00
Please give me Xiialive 3.3.1.6 Pro version.
I reported bug here:
XiiaLive Pro=3.3.1.7 (30049) google
ANDROID_SDK_INT=15
ANDROID_SDK_RELEASE=4.0.4
MODEL=TAC-70031
MANUFACTURER=unknown

Unfortunately, Xiialive Pro has stopped (3.3.1.7 beta)
The error just appear when i launch Xiialive Pro and it won't play any station. Clicking on the play button also make error. I'm using dark theme. It is happen on ALL devices
I'm reverting back to stable version 3.3.1.6

Hey, incredible how this slipped... Might be the nightless sleep... I updated yesterday the beta release and should have this issue resolved.
Keep Stream Cache Until Station Change
Hello.
I would like to suggest to make the stream cache in such way that if when one presses the stop button or one gets a phone call it does not have any effect on the downloaded cache.
The cache should be only cleaned when one changes the radio station.
Currently if one presses the stop button it erases the downloaded cache , the only way to keep the cache is to press the pause button .
The cache is also automaticaly erased if one gets a phone call and one doesn't pick up the phone but not erased if one gets a phone call and picks up the phone and then hangs up.
It was a great feature making the cache not being erased when XiiaLive goes into data guard mode , it would be pretty nice if the downlaoded cache would be more persistant than it is now.
I would like to listen to some pre-cached radio while i have no access to WIFI , but i am always afraid of losing the cache because of XiiaLive being stopped by any event on the phone and losing the cache.
Thanks in advance
The station "I love 2 Dance" was been removed from SHOUTcast
I can't listen to "I love 2 Dance" anymore because it was been removed from SHOUTcast. What happen? can i get any infomation about this?
Hey if you are feeling adventurous... ;) you can actually add the station to UberStations directory.
"Adding a radio station to UberStations directory is the easiest and quickest way to make it available to all XiiaLive users. All you need is a valid URL and some details about the radio station. Please go here for more information."
Chrome OS Support
I already voted for it on : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10mlIGJq2ENubhkvTJYk11ujckA8t-RYx06qr61EPI_g/viewform
I'm actually using it with the official runtime and the uploaded APK from my Android and it works flawlessly, so I hope to see it coming.
XiiaLive Lite auto-starts on certain events
Note: Media Controls are set to OFF
I've noticed one specific thing that guarantees the XiiaLive Lite app to launch; Plugging in the headset that came with my Galaxy S, followed by pressing the headset button (which starts the MP3 player). The app just runs in the background and only shows up in the "running app" list so its not that big of a burden, but I just figured it's not supposed to do this, hence my feedback :)
