There are two possibilities...
First, some broadcasters don't provide track info.
Second, most likely your case, you probably have the internal stream engine turned on. 
You can check by going to >settings >advanced users.
The internal engine is still in beta state so some things aren't complete. 
The track info should show on the next update.

If you're station is no longer on the Shoutcast directory try searching for it on vtuner:

http://www.vtuner.com/vtunerweb/asp/SearchR3.asp?search=street+radio&GoSearch.x=11&GoSearch.y=11/ 

If its there, just play it from your phone and add it to your favorites.

It might take few hours to a couple days. I believe they have to review each submission manually. :/

Why 48k was clear before update and became bad after update?

Puck-Soon Loh 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 13 years ago 0
i do have a question for y'all. I am using the Lite version and I wonder why the radio that I listen to in 48k is so not clear. It was clearer before this, but after the latest update, it became bad.
On the other hand, i had tried listening to the higher bitrate (128k), but it kept disconnecting cuz the mobile internet here is slow. 
Can someone help???

For ur info, u can go to www.radiofeeds.co.uk, and listen to Smash Hits Radio. 
Been testing this for sometime and 48k is just not as crystal-clear.
Thanks.

Some low bitrate streams seem to be decoded incorrectly by many Android devices.  This is a known issue on the Android community.  I would recommend you try the internal stream engine.  That stream engine uses our own decoder not the Android decoder.  It is in beta mode but soon we will release final version. To try out the internal stream engine just go to XiiaLive->Adv users and set to ON the internal stream engine.

Unsupported format for MPEG 128kpbs?

Anonymous 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 13 years ago 0
I am getting unsupported format when trying to play a radio stream.
Radio station "unitedbreaks.fm" has two streams available, both MPEG but one has a bitrate of 32kbps and the other has 128kbps.
The 32kbps plays fine (although lower quality) but the 128kbps, keeps on saying unsupported format.

I have just tried both radio stations on an HTC Evo 4G phone and it worked just fine... Does it still not work for you? If not what phone and Android version are you using?

Nexus 4, just upgraded to 4.3 crashing on all internet feeds.

Ian R-P 11 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 0

Just upgraded to Android 4.3. XiiaLive Pro crashes on any attempt to play a stream. It doesn't full-out crash, a pop-up comes up and says XiiaLive has crashed, but it stays running. The little notification area on the bottom left says "Service Crashed!" . I am unable to provide a SendLogs as my phone is not rooted, OR SendLogs also has an issue with 4.3 and cannot obtain them also.

What are these dots good for, the left one green, the right one grey? They are in the middle bottom of the black window in any skin and any orientation, any station, the window one with the station and song name and kbps. Version 3.2.0.5.1 full.Thanks.

They indicate that you can swipe to another screen. That other screen is the playlist. Some stations provide a playlist full of URL links to their various servers. This allows you to see them and pick another.
