XiiaLive metadata, stream stats, and playback status intents

Jona (Lead Developer) 11 years ago updated 10 years ago 0

XiiaLive will be making the following intents available starting with release v3.0.1.1.  The main goal of these new intents is to match what popular music players are using. Example, Amazon MP3 app, Google Music, Last.fm to name a few.


Please note that these actions are sent out with a category defining the release type of XiiaLive. That is if it is free, paid or beta. You can simply have all those categories defined on your broadcast receiver.
