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

Peter Fischer 12 years ago in Bluetooth / Controls updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 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

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.

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 14 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 14 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) 14 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 15 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 14 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) 14 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.

Streaming playlists (M3U) files

Anonymous 15 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 15 years ago 0
This is the first application which works with my 'GNUMP3d' server.

However, it cannot skip through songs, it plays the songs fine though and in the correct order, just can't skip.

If this feature gets added I'll definately buy the paid version!

Regards,
Ray

Stream restarts when pressing widget

Denvernate 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 13 years ago 0

When playing music, if you press the widget the player opens and the stream restarts.  Didn't used to do this?  If a stream is playing and you press another favorite shortcut, it doesn't switch to the new stream, it reopens the one you were listening to. 


Also, the widget always loses the metadata when I have it in a car dock landscape.  This has been an issue from the beginning on this newest version of xiia since it's beta release on both my droid x2 and original droid.  I have the app 'dock nothingness' active on both phones, not sure if this might be contributing.

Future Update?

jediguy 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 2
Good afternoon developers, just wanted to check in and see if there's any news on an upcoming version with better sorting methods for favorites.  It had been mentioned a few months ago by the head developer that a version with better favorites features was coming.  I have about 80 stations in my internet radio library and used your software previously, but the favorites system just got too cumbersome.  I switched to TuneIn Radio until a new version with more favorites sorting options is released.  That said, I still think you guys have an amazing product with one of the best streaming engine's available.  I'd be glad to try out a beta release as long as there's no risk to the device where it's installed.

We have recently release a new beta version.  Please search on Google Play for the new beta. If you have a previous beta installed please remove it.
