Android 4.0.2 streaming disconnect and reconnect

Steve Hyman 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 15
Using latest version of Xiia and playing any stream will play for a minute or two and then disconnect and then reconnect. After reconnect it will play for up to 30 seconds then disconnect and then reconnect. This only happens on Android 4.0.2 and the Galaxy Nexus. If the screen does not sleep it will not happen, but on 4.0.2 the screen sleep causes a disconnect, probably to preserve battery.
Try this with WHYY or NPR News as an example.

Keep screen on when powered

Jona (Lead Developer) 14 years ago updated 13 years ago 1
Have you guys considered adding an option to keep the screen on when plugged into a power source and playing? Slacker Radio has it and it's an awesome feature, especially when I'm driving and want to see what's currently playing.

Car mode?

koimr 10 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 9 years ago 1
Any way to have some kind of "car mode" so that either the buttons are larger or can be controlled via gestures? Right now can be kind of tricky trying to change stations while driving.
Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 9 years ago
Thanks for you idea! This is definitely something we always wanted to do. The only thing holding us back is the designer doesn't work full-time so it is really hard to get a design going... :(

However, we do want to do this.

I like the gestures ideas. If you want to share any details of how you would dream the app to work in car mode please share! :)

Invalid url on Jelly Bean

B Ap 11 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago 10 1 duplicate

Just installed Xiia on my new Nexus 7 with Jelly Bean.  Nothing will play - I get "Invalid URL" with EVERY stream I have tried, even though the stream works perfectly on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (running ICS).


I have typed numerous URLs into Xiia on JB but nothing is working.


Any ideas anyone?


Thanks.

Text Replacement

Internets McAwesome 11 years ago updated by Mike Steidl 9 years ago 3

Would it be possible to implement some kind of string replacement/removal for the "now playing" text on a per station basis?


A lot of radio stations append the station name to the track name, which upsets the scrobbling (and sharing) features of the app.

Answer
Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago

Great request, I know exactly what you are saying. It would be interesting feature but I'm not 100% sure how exactly it would work. Do you have any ideas or name of apps that currently do something like this? Any information should help me investigate a bit more. Also, potentially a station that is currently broadcasting as you are saying.

Some aac+ stereo streams not decoding properly

Matthew Osborne 13 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 10 years ago 1
I have an LG Optimus V phone running Android 2.2.1, and have installed XiiaLive beta and the latest version on the market.  I've noticed that, when playing lower bitrate aac+ stereo audio streams using the internal stream engine, they only play back in mono.  I know the internal stream engine is only a beta release, but this is something your team may want to look at.  Here are two streams that illustrate this issue:

Verbally command Google Now to launch XiiaLive Pro and play a station

Terina C 9 years ago in Android updated by Ben Aldhouse 6 years ago 3

How can I verbally command Google Now to launch XiiaLive Pro and play a specified favorite station? I'd like to use Google Now voice commands to launch the XiiaLive Pro app and begin playing a specified previously saved station.

Answer

It has been a while since this was posted here. However, recently Google Now and Google Assistant seem to be allowing apps to take advantage of their features. I can't promise when but I have set this feature request as nice to have.

Support for http auth streams?

Morten Børnes 12 years ago updated by Jona (Lead Developer) 12 years ago 12 1 duplicate

I run a private icecast2 server that I would like to stream on my android phones using xiialive.

But xiialive does not seem to support http auth url's?

When I input http://username:password@streaming.url it just says unauthorized.

And when I input it without username and password it does not ask for a username and password.

The stream itself works fine in vlc/winamp for windows and in winamp for android.

Would love this to be implemented as xiialive is my favourite streaming client for android.
