Widget Favorite fails with INVALID URL on some stations.

Slow Loris 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 9

Device: Minix X8H-Plus

Android: 4.4.2


I create a favourite widget for the home screen, but when I click on it, it says, "INVALID URL"

The same channel listed in the favourites INSIDE the XiiaLive application can be started/played without any problems/errors.

The odd thing is, it's not all stations/play lists for example:


http://stream.16bit.fm:8000/cafe_mp3_128 plays fine in XiiaLive or as a home screen favourite widget. However,

http://stream.16bit.fm:8000/wine_channel_192 says "INVALID URL" as a favourite widget, but plays fine if selected from the favourite list within XiiaLive

Xiialive Pro version for older Android 2.3 systems

Thomas Wagner 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 2

Can I download / get the latest Xiialive Pro version (e.g. APK file), which works on older Android 2.3 systems? I assume the latest working Xiia version is 3.3.0.4, right?

P.S.: i bought the Pro version on Google Play.

Bluetooth streaming broken on latest release (3.01 on ATT SGS3)

Peter Fischer 11 years ago in Bluetooth / Controls updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 0

When the stream finishes buffering, I heard audio for 2-3 seconds, before the audio stream cuts out.  XiiaLive continues to play through the active stream, but no audio is heard.  On previous versions, this was fine.


The audio seems to cut out right as the stream meta data rolls across the Android notification bar.  I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the newly added AVRCP support or not, but the timing looks very suspicious.  This problem does not occur when using headphones.


Additional Information:

Samsung Galaxy S3 

Android Version 4.04 - Stock/Unrooted

XiiaLive Pro version 3.01

Vehicle Subaru Legacy 2012



Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago

Sorry for the super delayed reply! 


First let's see if possibly the new AVRCP 1.3 hack broke BT streaming.

- Turn off the Icy-metadata option under Settings->Stream and try starting a new stream. Let me know if the issue still happens. This should cause AVRCP not to be used by the app since no metadata will be active.


After that test regardless if an issue still occurs try collecting the logs right after the issue happens when streaming. This hopefully will allow me to see a possible cause.

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago

It has been a change that it's a bit different in terms of a few things. Mainly the player, skin color and the way the sliding menu bar has been placed at the top.


Just give it a few days and hopefully the new design grows on you! :) If you liked the dark skin try changing the skin to dark?


Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it!

Bluetooth headphones

Margus 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 13 years ago 0
Is it possible to add tagging with bluetooth button push. Example vol down long hold.
Also is it possible to add voice time with bluetooth headphones button. Example vol up long hold.
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 13 years ago
Thanks for your feedback! Tagging using some special key is definitely a great idea. We where previously suggested to make the phones camera button a tagging action. Your idea seems interesting and we will see how we can use the current BT supported controls allow such feature work.

encoding selection

Anonymous 14 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 13 years ago 1
Please add an encoding selection feature. I'm Korean. In some station, they don't use unicode string. So song information charaters are broken. Please solve this problem.
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 13 years ago

This is an issue for sure! I have investigated in the past and things got very complex. It is very difficult to predict what encoding to use since it's not easily identifiable. SHOUTcast has released new server tools that hopefully when all other radio providers update it will use the new standard UTF-8 encoding.

Meanwhile this is a good idea and I'll look into adding this option.


Update 05/05/11:

Found a better way to guess the encoding. It's not perfect but for most cases it should work.  The encoding selection is also planed.


Update 06/01/11:

Automatic character encoding has been added to v2.1.9.  Should work for most metadata.
