Yes regarding my request for help in playing aac+ streams. By switching to FFmpeg in the options does allow audio for these file type streams to play, but unless I switch back to android mode I'm now unable to play wma.  Why can the MediaU app for example play all codec types without the need to switch menu options?

The reason why we have the stream engine switch option is described under the settings (?) help button.


"Allows picking the default stream engine to use when streaming MPEG, AAC, and AAC+ audio formats. All other formats will be streamed by the FFmpeg stream engine."


It shouldn't matter what engine you have selected, wma format will always play on FFmpeg.  Do you have a particular URL which is having issues?

The easiest way to start your own online radio station would be to use the free SHOUTcast broadcasting tools:

Check them out! :)

station metadata randomly wonky at times

Doug David hace 12 años actualizado por Jona (Lead Developer) hace 12 años 4

Sometimes while streaming stations, the song data displays as an odd string like in the image attached. It's always 2 alpha characters followed by a 5-digit numeral. What's up with that?! It seems to be somewhat random. Later, the same station displays song info without an issue. Is the problem the metadata sent by the shoutcast station or xiia's interpretation of it? Or is it something to do with starting a stream mid-song?

I have tried the same radio you are listening to and I see the similar pattern of the metadata.


I have tried it on my PC and same metadata shown.  I think this something to do with the radio broadcast.

Now there is! Simply switch to the UberStations directory from XiiaLive. You should be able to search for the state and get all stations from there.

widget not working 3.0

Alf Otto Auglend Fagermo hace 12 años actualizado por Jona (Lead Developer) hace 12 años 6

The widgets are not working on my Htc Sens after upgrading to ver 3.00. I'm running ICS.


Respuesta
Jona (Lead Developer) hace 12 años

We have moved some of the code around on our project. This will cause installed widgets to disappear on some devices. Could you try adding them back again and see if they work? Also, there is an issue on Android 4.X where the widgets are 4x2 instead of 4x1.

diasable bluetooth after timer

mbr hace 11 años actualizado por Jona (Lead Developer) hace 11 años 0

Disable bluetooth after timer timeout for allowing the bt speeker to go into standby mode to save battery power would be very nice.  Thanks

Hey thanks for your idea. It is an interesting one and I'll look into potentially adding it.

Configurable buffers for data and wifi

Aristide Mooyaart hace 9 años 0
If we had separately configurable buffers for when I'm on wifi or cellular data it would mean I could have the radio start playing quickly when I'm on wifi but still buffer enough for my daily commute.
At the moment I have to keep changing the buffer setting, which is annoying.

Name of first track played on any given station keeps reappearing

Richard Barnett hace 9 años actualizado hace 9 años 2
Shortly before the currently playing track comes to an end, the track/artist name is replaced with that of the first track that was played when I started listening. If I change to another station, the recurring track name becomes the first track I hear on the new station.

This is on the Android app, which I use on a Motorola Moto G (1st gen) and has been happening for several months. As it hasn't been fixed in any recent updates, and nobody else seems to have reported it, I thought it was about time I said something!
Respuesta
Jona (Lead Developer) hace 9 años
Hey, thanks for writing about this issue. Does this happen with all stations? Knowing what audio format you are streaming and the links could help figure out what is going on. Also, have you by any chance changed the stream engine under settings? It should be FFmpeg under Settings/Stream/Stream engine.

Can XIIAlive display metadata in WMA streams sent from Microsoft Expression Encoder?

I would assume yes, but if you have a URL of a stream of the type you are mentioning would be great for us to use for testing.
