When an email notification is received, XiiaLive volumn is changed - much lower. This is happening on Android Tablet connected via WiFi. I've disabled volumn

AndroidL 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 4

On WiFi connected Anroid tablet, when an email notification is received XiiaLive volumn is lowered significantly.  This keeps me from using the player because of the sound lose.  How can this be fixed?   I've changed settigns->sound->volumne to 0% and notification to 0%.  Also disabled all options available in hopes of resolving to no avail.  Please advise.  Thanks!

That for the feedback. Generally when email notification sounds are triggered by the OS XiiaLive would duck the volume a little and after the sound is played it would raise the volume back up. Did you notice the volume regain at all? 


What device do you have and what android version is it running?

Audio Stream Repeating

Carmen Martin 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 2

What would cause a portion of a stream to repeat?  When I stream using your app, sometimes it will repeat the last couple of seconds of a song then the song will continue to play. Then it about a minute later, it will skip forward a couple of seconds - it seems like it tries to "catch up" to the live audio feed. I'm using version 3.0.1.2. Thanks.

Answer

Please let me know the following information:

Device name:

Android version:

Stream audio format:  MPEG or AAC?


Some particular devices seem to have issues with streaming and can cause repeats.  We are working on a much more advanced player that should resolve this type of issues.

From your device browser go to:

There search sky.fm. You should find your station. Click it open it with XiiaLive and save it as a favorite for future access! :)

display station info in my car radio

Stefan Teske 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 0

Is there a way to get station id to sync with my car radio that is bluetooth compatible?

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago

The latest release of XiiaLive provides the ability to send AVRCP 1.3 metadata. Just make sure your care stereo bluetooth supports AVRCP 1.3.  You can also test by using the music player from Android to see if metadata info is sent.

alarm not working in sleep mode

Manne 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 1

 I have a cheap noname tablet with the latest android on it. The problem I am experiencing is that the xiia alarm fails to work as soon as the tablet is in sleep mode. This makes the alarm pretty useless for me. Since I can't seem to find anyone else with this problem I figure it's a hardware issue? Does anyone know what the problem is, and is there a fix or work-around (besides keeping the screen on all night)?

Thanks a lot!

Answer

Some Android devices, specially tablets, can go into a deep sleep. When they go into this deep sleep alarms wont work as you have seen.  We have done some research to try to work around this but havent found a proper solution. We have set this issue on our to do/ to fix list.

Bring back old style car friendly design

Please can we have the large volume and start stop controls back for tablet landscape mode. This is ideal for vehicle use and the new player controls are too small.

Cannot stream from VLC

Anonymous 14 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago 0
I'm trying to stream audio from VLC to xiialive, but I keep getting an unsupported format error. I'm using VLC 1.1.4 on Win7 x64, streaming over HTTP, and I've tried the built-in transcoding options for AAC and MP3. Both streams can be played by Windows Media Player or VLC on another computer. As far as I can tell, the stream from VLC is the same as any stream from the Shoutcast directory. Do you have any suggestions?
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago
Could you somehow capture the mime type of the stream? It could be possible that the mime type on the HTTP header of your server response is invalid type...
