importing radio stations from file

xiialive user 12 years ago updated by Wilson Keith Bradley 1 year ago 6
How can I import a list of radio stations from a file?

My ISP makes over 100 stations available for free streaming (ie does not count towards my download quota) and they provide a list of the stations in a number of different formats (m3u, pls, opml, rss, plain text)

Is there a way I can import one of those formats? If I specify the .pls url in the add favourites, it only plays the first station in the list.

Thanks

What service fetches album art for internet radio? I'd like to add to it.

Mike A 9 years ago updated by Rodrigo (Developer) 8 years ago 2
I listen to PlusFM, on its site it is full of artwork even for the most obscure song. But Xilla/Shoutcast retrieves different/no album art for many songs. I'd like to update whatever database it is pulling the artwork from, if that's possible. Is it possible?

Hi Mike,

unfortunately it's not possible from XiiaLive app but you can try to update the station artwork on UberStations.

Please look the follow link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oePpxKzLRCEcbpgV6cwb-XEyrXjDUsbryswTxIMv1F8/edit

Multiple alarm choices, including local file

Henrik Isacsson 10 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 9 years ago 1
When using the alarm to wake up, it's important to always get noise. My idea is then to add a fallback local file to play if the chosen radio station, or wifi, is unavailable.

Of course this would disable unlimited retries, since unlimited failure also means no wake-up alarm sound. 

If you want to make it even shinier, have the Set Alarm preferences come with a '+ Add extra station' button, letting the user add a list of fallback stations or local fils(s). 

/signed: so happy with xiialive that it was the first program I bought in play store :)

Thanks for your feedback and making us your first paid app! :)

This is an area that could definitely be improved a bit more. Having fallback stations I think is a great idea and I'll set this as planned.

Currently if the alarm station fails to connect or it is taking too long to connect we trigger the default alarm sound. So even if unlimited retries is active the alarm default sound will still be triggered if a connection took too long.

Hey guys, unfortunately we don't control the content of the directory. We've previously seen this particular station disappear and come back up. Hope this time it returns.

XiiaLive uses SHOUTcast radio directory which is free. We currently offer two versions of the application one which is free "ad supported" and another with no ads for $3.99.

Paid version is a one time fee. The free version no fees.

Loved your free app,Thank you

Tom McCool 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 0
Thank you again for the use of your APP. All was well until SPRINT UPDATED, it just would not stay connected, now it might have been ok for two days to two hrs you just never knew when you were going to have to pull battery. So now that the market has changed I was able to purchase your APP, and thats the ticket. Now I just downloaded it changed nothing at first , and guess what? All is working great. Had a few bumps, but it settled down, and stayed connected. WOW what a difference that made, no more stuck and having to take the battery out. I'm using a LG OP S, 670series, ANDROID 2.3.3, Sprint Network.

Thank you again,
Tom McCool
p.s. I can now again run police scanner pro, using both volume cotrols I can have scanner louder then This APP, so its great now having the scanner run as background when it speaks. I highly reccomend it to anyone looking for an APP of your quality
