Hello Dimitris,
thanks for sharing this problem. We will work on fixing it soon.
Best,
Configurable Bluetooth Metadata
So, first of all, I just want to congratulate on the best Internet Radio app currently on the market. As someone who has recently migrated from TuneIn, I have to say that Xiialive is light years ahead in features. While I do think that the Shoutcast directory is somewhat lacking on international radio stations, and would love to see additional directories, today I am writing to talk about BT metadata streaming.
What I would really really love to be able to do is define, in some advanced settings, the metadata information transmitted via Bluetooth. While I know that Xiialive is supposed to send station, artist and song name, for some reason my car stereo/phone combination only shows song name metadata. That is, I can only see the song name, not the artist nor the station. This is not a Xiialive problem, it also happens with the phone´s standard music player and other apps.
My goal is to use bluetooth controls on the car without accessing the phone, so I wish I could navigate through my favorite stations seeing their names on the radio without need to check the phone screen.
So, would it be possible to configure Xiialive to send, for example, station name on the song name tag? There are thousands of streams that do not tag their songs, so being able to use those tags for additional info would also be soooo great (I can think of battery status or traffic RSS feeds for example).
Anyhow, I am using a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android Jelly Bean 4.1 and Xiialive Pro 3.0.2.2 on a 2013 Nissan Connect system, Thanks and keep up the great work.
Home screen favorite stations shortcuts doesn't work
We have resolved an issue with home screen shortcuts and the fix will be part of the next version 3.1.1 release.
Yes! You can set your "pre-buffer" and "ongoing-buffer" in the settings page area.
Tip: The higher the time the longer it will take to start playing.

Android 4.4 Kit Kat / Nexus 5 unable to connect to streams
So I just got my N5 and love the device.
But.. can't listen to streams.
Looks like Google changed something in 4.4.
A workaround is to use the FFMpeg engine.
Happy to test patches if you need me to.
Issue has been resolved and now available as v3.0.3.2.
Update notes:
1. The radio broadcast server/s is/are possibly down, full or no longer available.
2. The broadcast moved to new servers. In the case they move to new servers you can just try finding the radio station again via search and add it back to your favorites.
Lost Backup File
I have been add stations to the Favorites list by editing the "backup.xiia" file and saving it to "sdcard/xiialive/backup/backup.xiia" . I may have done something wrong, because now when I select "Restore from xml file" I get an error message saying "Backup file not found under path:" "/storage/emulated/0/xiialive/backup/backup.xiia".
Any suggestions about how to fix this problem?
Hey @DonpK sorry for the delay responding to your question... :/ and thanks @Evildog for your help! :)
So doing what you did should have worked. If the file was corrupted for some reason I think it should have given an error saying that it was corrupted. You can attempt to retry the action and right after trigger a bug report. On the bug report place this post URL as a reference. Hopefully, that gives me an idea what is going on. Also, the other deal would be to look at your actual backup file.
So anyways, the xiia file is a bit tricky to edit and can break easily, mainly because it wasn't made to be edited. Also, doing backups and restores is way to hard... For that reason we created a new way to backup and restore your favorites which is super easy. Release v3.3.1 is now slowly rolling out with this feature.
So now with the new backup file it is a bit easier to know how to modify the file. Also, the backup is now shared to any location you want. To restore you can just tap on the file from any location, email, dropbox, etc... and XiiaLive will be suggested to open it.
1. Remove broken widget
2. Restart phone
3. Add widget again
Utilize 60 minute buffer in car without cell service or wifi
Is there a way to listen to the 60 minute buffer cache without cell service or wifi? Is there a setting to put the paid version on so you do not get a connection timeout and lose your buffer cache!
I do not have cell service so I wanted to cache 60 minutes in the buffer over wifi and then listen to the 60 minute cache in may car without using a cell service.
