Error connecting to local sc_serv and sc_trans

condenser 13 jaar geleden • bijgewerkt door Jona (Lead Developer) 13 jaar geleden • 2
I have a stock Droid 4 running the latest XiiaLive from the market. I have two local Shoutcast servers that I use to stream songs to my phone over WiFi. The first server uses sc_serv and Winamp to as the encoder (thus MP3), and the second server uses sc_serv and sc_trans with AAC+ as the encoder. I don't have anything special set in the configuration files, other than the servers do not connect to public YP.

The sc_serv is the 07/31/2011 version, and sc_trans is 10/07/2011.

On my plain Droid, XiiaLive connects fine to both servers. The Droid 4 running XiiaLive will only connect to the first configuration cleanly. It does not connect to the second AAC+ encoder shoutcast. It appears to be synchronizing, but then the display shows something like PVMFPending (it disappears too fast to see) and the connection is dropped.

If I change to using the internal streaming engine, XiiaLive running on the Droid 4 will connect to both Shoutcast servers.

Usually when the user clicks purchase we display the two apps paid and free versions. I can see now how doing it like that can be misleading... It appears that paid apps are may not be available on your device?

Search by language?

ajunta pall 14 jaar geleden • bijgewerkt door Jona (Lead Developer) 14 jaar geleden • 0
I would like a "sort by language" option.  (i.e.  I tell it I want all Russian Stations, then 'Rock' or 'Metal' or 'Comedy.')  This is the only feature I really miss from other apps.  (I say that because XiiaLive is my favorite music app on my Droid.  :D )

Thanks for the feedback! So you want to be able to see all the stations from your country. Like if you would hit genre Rock you want all the stations Rock but from your country correct?

Bluetooth Controls?

Anoniem 14 jaar geleden • bijgewerkt door Jona (Lead Developer) 14 jaar geleden • 1
Shold they work start, stop skip?
Antwoord

We currently support the play/stop controls. Some applications take away the media controls and never get to XiiaLive. We are in a way upset that some applications are very aggressive in terms of these controls. We are most likely to provide these aggressive controls but always with an options to turn it off.

Configurable Bluetooth Metadata

Nelson Waissman 11 jaar geleden • bijgewerkt door Rodrigo (Developer) 9 jaar geleden • 9

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

Slava Ivanyuk 12 jaar geleden • bijgewerkt door Jona (Lead Developer) 11 jaar geleden • 4
When I open a station through favorites widget most of the time I'm getting unexpected stop. Player enters endless retry loop, and never plays the station. If I open the same station through favorites menu inside the player everything is working just fine.

Can you increase the ongoing buffer size?

Jona (Lead Developer) 14 jaar geleden • bijgewerkt 13 jaar geleden • 2
Antwoord
Jona (Lead Developer) 13 jaar geleden

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

Mark R 11 jaar geleden • bijgewerkt door Jona (Lead Developer) 11 jaar geleden • 7

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.
