Install on Kindle Fire

Simon Dermot 10 year бұрын updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 10 year бұрын 0
Hi

I have (had) Xiia Pro (the paid-for version) on my Nexus 7, but unfortunately because of screen problems it has been returned to Google for a refund.

As I won't be buying a Nexus 7 again can you tell me how I sideload my paid-for version of Xiia onto my existing Kindle Fire?

Thanks.

Add search filters support on landscape orientation

revangel77 10 year бұрын updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 9 year бұрын 1
Hello,
I use a android mini PC with a 1080p hdmi display and have the pro version of XiiaLive running under android 4.4.2.

Since the app is running in portrait / landscape mode all the time (please don't ask me to hold my screen 90° to another direction while I am searching) I have no access to some features like the search filters when searching for a keyword in shoutcast. I think there should be enough space to put in the filter line again, even in portrait mode, especially in high resolution environments. Or is there a quick fix you can suggest?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for your request. You are completely right, we don't support search filters while on landscape orientation. We will set this as planned to try to figure out how we can provide this feature.

sticky broadcast

David Lewis 11 year бұрын updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 year бұрын 0


What exactly are sticky broadcast?

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 11 year бұрын

From Android dev site:

"Allows an application to broadcast sticky intents. These are broadcasts whose data is held by the system after being finished, so that clients can quickly retrieve that data without having to wait for the next broadcast."

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#BROADCAST_STICKY


We used to use it but have removed it since in reality we didn't really need it.

Buffer cannot be adjusted for icecast streams

Calvin Redding 12 year бұрын updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 year бұрын 10

Hello,

I have a samsung vibrant running 2.2 but my problem is with 2.3.  
I have a police scanner that I broadcast using icecast.  I also broadcast via radioreference.com (I'm not sure exactly how they serve audio).  I listen to my icecast stream in my car.
When I upgrade my rom to a 2.3 based rom (say, cyanogen), xiialive (2.2.4 free) always buffers for 15 seconds of time.  I have tried in my icecast settings disabling burst on connect and setting the burst-size to one.  Same problem.  I broke down and tried a pirated pro version of xiialive (2.1.6) and manually set both buffers to 1000ms and it still buffers for 15 seconds. 


What's weird is, when I listen via radioreference (the m3u on this page):http://m.radioreference.com/?feedId=7059  it buffers for about 3 seconds.  It's only on my icecast feed http://184.91.43.57:8001/listen.m3u that it has the delay problem.  Unfortunately their feed is 16k and mine is 48k.


I will absolutely purchase your app if you can tell me how to fix this (perhaps a config problem on my end?) or that it will be addressed in a future release.  I am at my wit's end and have googled the shit out of this problem.  I used to use streamfurious but the developer has basically abandoned it, leaving you guys as the last ones standing.

I'm going to include a link to my stream.


I'm begging you, please help me.  Tell me something anything that might help.


Thanks so much,

Calvin

Generally custom ROMs have issues with the android media framework causing XiiaLive to behave strangely on some occasions.  I would recommend you try our internal stream engine.  You can enable this engine by going to settings->advanced users and setting "Internal stream engine" to ON.

Start playing from lock screen doesn't work after a longer pause

tuxmobil 12 year бұрын updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 year бұрын 0

Testing scenario is this:


1. Put phone in audio dock and let it play until screen locks (audio dock may be optional)

2. Press pause button on lock screen ---> music pauses

3. Wait for a longer period, say 10-15 minutes

4. wake up phone again and press play button on lock screen ---> nothing happens

Please make usage tracking (Flurry) optional

tuxmobil 12 year бұрын updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 year бұрын 0

If you want usage tracking to improve the app (or whatever reasons), please document this somewhere visible for users, list the type of data that is collected and allow users to switch this off.


Doing otherwise, depending on contry, maybe a violation of data privacy acts. Thanks

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 12 year бұрын

Thanks for posting about this important topic.  We are a tiny company and sometimes it's a bit hard to stay on top of various things... :/ However I'll be working on getting some type of privacy policy and way to turn off this feature if desired by the user.


Mean while for all those that wish to opt-out you can do so here:

Location permission on XiiaLive Pro

Antti Kultanen 12 year бұрын updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 10 year бұрын 0

Please explain why the latest version of the Pro app wants to know my location.

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 10 year бұрын

Local permission has been added now to XiiaLive Pro. The main and only reason is that now you can get your local radio stations based on your coarse location.


For more details about how the permissions are used please see:
