please fix, is important

Basti 13 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Jona (Lead Developer) 12 jaar geleden 0

I would take it even further, but every time I hear the music with the music player and then start xiia, the stream is established and there is no sound, only then everything must end with the task manager and then it goes.

Just to confirm I understand the issue. You are playing music and while it is playing music you are opening XiiaLive and starting a new stream but no audio is heard from XiiaLive?

download does not work

Sometimes downloading from the Android Market can be tricky and there has been many cases where apps don't download. You can try a couple things:

1. Restart your phone and try again.
2. Cancel download if stuck and just restart it.
3. Make sure you have a good internet connection. Maybe try over WiFi.

disable notifications of new songs

aritchie 13 jaar geleden bijgewerkt 10 jaar geleden 4

 How do I disable the notification of every new song in the notification bar?  This is a particularly annoying feature and is about to make me batty, as I'm trying to read The Economist while listening to nice music, but I get a notification ever 3-4 minutes.  I am not ADD, but feel like this app is making me so.  Thank you for any tips.

The notifications happen every time a new song starts playing. Your request is a first but it is an interesting option to have. I will set this as planned.

uberstations display

Peter 12 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Jona (Lead Developer) 12 jaar geleden 0
In addition, Uberstations directory view displays the song name in the first, bold line, and the station in the second, faint line. This disturbs me. For Shoutcast the first line was  station name, the faint line is song name, which made more sense to me. I'm sorry to say that I prefer ShoutCast and hope the best for its future.
I put this comment into "Bugs" as it best fits . This is about the directory, not the player pane. Thanks in advance for consideration.

Jona (Lead Developer) 12 jaar geleden
Thanks for your feedback! Yes, song is showing at the top for this particular directory. The main reason was that the directory is based on real-time song updates. This is still early stage for the UberStations directory but it will be growing as we move along. Maybe later on even add an option to swap the info around to look like SHOUTcast directory.

How do I access settings/options menu?

John Capuano 13 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Jona (Lead Developer) 13 jaar geleden 1
I'm using the latest free version and can't figure out how to get into the settings menu? If I hit menu while the app is loaded nothing happens. I seem to recall a settings menu?? Was it deleted with an update or something? I want to change the settings for re-connect tries. I'm running a live stream and sometimes it disconnects, xiia retries connecting one, maybe two times before it gives up.

Right after you open the app you will be shown the 6 big buttons. Scroll down and you will see the settings button.  Click on that and you are in settings. Then choose Advance users. This particular feature is enabled on the paid version.

Could you try reproducing the issue and capture the logs immediately?

http://support.xiialive.com/topic/38494-how-to-collect-error-logs/

Also, you could try using the Internal stream engine.  So go XiiaLive->Settings->Advanced users

how can i buy the paid version

Anoniem 15 jaar geleden bijgewerkt door Jona (Lead Developer) 15 jaar geleden 0
i can´t find the paid version, if i click on the ad in the player it goes direst to the appstore, but there it says it is already installed.
How can i pay for the full version?
Antwoord
Jona (Lead Developer) 15 jaar geleden
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 )

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