Delayed reply here... Are you still having this issue? On XiiaLive v3 a lot of things have improved and been fixed.

Proactive restart after IP change

René Hüftlein 14 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago 0
If you change technology or the hotspot (WLAN -> 3G etc.) it is just natural to lose the IP and in effect lose your stream.

It should be possible to detect an IP address change and automatically re-initialize the streaming while the buffer of the former stream is still played.

Right now the app plays until the buffer runs empty and then restarts streaming, meaning a buffer size of 20 secs will cause a gap of 20 secs.

Bug since latest update (Dec 10 2014)

Joachim Weis 10 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 10 years ago 2
Hello,
my device is a HTC One M8 with Cynigenmod.
The latest update of Xiia live pro confronts me with the following bug:
My favourite station is BBC London 94.9 with the following URL: http://bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/bbclondon.asx
From about DEC 10th (last update) on, Xiia plays this station (and strangely enough: ONLY this station) with WLAN connection only. All the other stations can be listened to normally.
Is this a bug you can confirm?

Greetings from Germany
Joachim Weis

Headset button function does not coexist nicely with Doggcatcher

tuxmobil 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 10 years ago 4

Using the lastest Doggcatcher and XiiaLive (3.0) from Google Play on Galaxy Nexus.


Preconditions:

0. Doggcatcher's headset setting is "bind to headset", but _not_ "forcefully".

1. XiiaLive's Media Control setting is "OFF", meaning not being the default app.

2. Doggcatcher has a podcast downloaded and ready to play.

3. XiiaLive is in the foreground, playing music


Actions:

1. Pressing the headset button


Expected outcome:

XiiaLive stops playing music.


Actual outcome:

XiiaLive continues to play (says the UI) but the audio is "overruled" by the podcast which starts playing from Doggcatcher.

My expectation was that Doggcatcher would not be triggered because XiiaLive was in the foreground and actively playing music.


Further actions:

2. Pressing again the headset button


Expected outcome:

XiiaLive resumes to play music.


Actual outcome:

Doggcatcher stops, but XiiaLive still not hearable again (although still playing , says the UI). But it's not complete silence, there is some kind of digital noise hearable (silently).


Forcefully closing Doggcatcher brings back audio from XiiaLive.



My general expectation of apps not "forcefully" bound to the headset (installing themselves as the default headset app) is that those apps do not respond to the headset unless they are playing music or being in the foreground. By this I would be able to pause/resume podcasts from Doggcatcher or pause/resume music from XiiaLive, depending on whichever app is currently used (in the foreground).


This kind of coexistence seems to be broken. I cannot tell who to blame, but apparently XiiaLive doesn't even pause the music here, it is just muted by Doggcatcher.


I would appreciate if you could investigate (and possibly also talk to the Doggcatcher dev).


Thanks.

I have a Galaxy S4 Active and it's not getting the tag info from my home server.
Any other place or computer I go to has it, it's only this app that's not getting the info.

Bug on HTC Wildfire

Dragos Ilie 14 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago 5
On the new release 2.1.8, the program keeps force closing when I try to play any stream type. The message appears right after it starts buffering but it is playling the stream until I press Force Close.
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago

Could you please capture the error logs right after the force close happens so that we can verify the issue?  


Here is how to collect the error logs:

Update 05/20/11:

- v2.1.9 is out. Please confirm if this issue still happens. Thanks!

Where can I find the list of stations
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago
There are over 40,000 stations available via XiiaLive. The stations come from SHOUTcast.com. We don't have a list of all the stations. You would just search for them by most listeners "top hits", genre, or search.
