BBC Streams

Stephen Chadfield 9 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 9 years ago 3
The BBC have just changed their format for streaming. Are there new URLs available. I can't listen to BBC 5 Live using XiaaLive Android any longer...

Jona (Lead Developer) 9 years ago
Unfortunately we can't do anything about missing, or none working stations from the radio directories.

However, in general UberStations directory is constantly adding new stations and fixing none working one. Hopefully, those stations get resolved soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Favorites group by genre

Laurel Kerlew 8 years ago updated by bensh99 7 years ago 2

Favourite stations used to group by genre. That seems to be missing now. How does one get this back?

Hi Laurel,

you should select it from the dropdown under "Group by". Please look the image below.

Best,

Please keep the cache unless it is manually cleared

Paddy Landau 9 years ago 0
Sometimes, my phone seems to drop its WiFi connection for just a second: XiiaLive Pro turns on data guard, but when I check the phone only one or two seconds after the sound goes silent, the WiFi is already reconnected.

Pressing the play button restarts XiiaLive Pro, and I've lost only a few seconds' worth of streaming.

Unfortunately, when this happens, XiiaLive Pro clears the cache, which I have set to 60 minutes' duration.

Please would you not clear the cache when the data guard is turned on.

Actually…

It would be awesome if you never cleared the cache (unless it is manually cleared — the app would need a "clear cache" button), so there is always (in my case) 60 minutes of recording that I could replay, even when out of range of my WiFi.

Restarting XiaaLive Pro after a break would simply continue adding to the cache as usual.

This could be an option in the Settings for people who do not like this idea.

Thank you.

Background data continues when app is closed.

Cordel Haws 11 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 0
I use xiialive when I work out, which is about 60 minutes, twice a week, then exit app. At some point in the last week it's gone hay wire. It says I've used almost 60 gigs since June 3rd (5 days). The app does not so up on m "open apps" (long press home button) list or on the running apps list in the system settings. It seems the background data is running no matter what. I have a widget on my home screen. Also, a shortcut to the app on my lock screen. But that's it.

I'm on a rooted droid razr maxx. Cm10.1 Jelly bean 4.2.

Help.
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago

Thanks for the feedback... Wow, 60GB?! That's nuts! I don't even think your device can use 60GB of data in 5days. I also don't think the network would be able to do it. My guess this is a bug on the custom ROM.


One thing you can know for sure, XiiaLive is only running when you see the persistent, now playing, notification on the Android status bar.

[XiiaLive Beta] Can custom stations be added to beta?

jediguy 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 1
I just installed the new beta and don't see an option in the favorites manager to add my own stations via custom URL.  Is this not available in the current version?
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago
Currently the beta doesn't have the add custom URL but it will be added in one of the beta updates. Also, the official release of V3 will have this feature available.

Car stereo bluetooth next and forward buttons don't seem to work

Doc Russell 11 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 0

In my car the next and forward buttons dont seem to work over bluetooth.  This worked in version 3.0.0.  Love the meta data but not at the sacrifice of the next and forward buttons.

Using pro version on samsung galaxy s3


Answer

Thanks for the bug report. Please try a few things to determine the cause.

1. Make sure to enable Media control under Settings->App control. This will tell XiiaLive to be the main receiver for media controls such as prev/play/pause/next controls.

2. If Media controls doesn't resolve the issues try disabling the Icy-metadata to disable AVRCP from being used. This option is located under Settings->Stream.

How to pay
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 13 years ago
You could use a regular debit card to purchase. Also, you phone carrier might support to charge your phone bill instead of using a card. We currently support what the Android Market provides you. I know they might be adding very soon other methods such as PayPal.

Privacy policy

insertmemehere 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 13 years ago 0
I can't seem to find your privacy policy anywhere - exactly what data do you upload from our phones and where does it go? Since the app has access to the phone ID, location, and SD card this is pretty significant info.

Thanks.

Glad to answer your question! We don't collect any personal information from our users. 


Permission: READ_PHONE_STATE
This is used to know when to turn the volume down when a phone call is incoming or a phone call is outgoing.

Permission: ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
This is only used by the ad companies.  It helps them target relevant ads according to the users location.

Permission: WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
This is needed to write to the SDcard.  We write to the SDcard backup if you choose so under settings.  That is the only reason we use this permission.

The other information we collect is anonymous information about how the user uses the app.  That is what options under settings are set and how the user usually navigates the app.  The helps us better determine what options are relevant.
