Thanks! The issue could be with us using the global session id 0. We have to change it to our own value but it's causing the EQ to crash on phones :(  We will investigate this further.

Great feedback! Yes, the top menu bar needs a bit more tweaking I must agree.  I believe moving the buttons around definitively would help. I also believe making a custom menu bar order and number of options would be nice... :) These are some of the things we are already thinking around :)

Thanks for the post. Please provide your device name and android version it's running.

Could you backup your favorites and send them to me? I like to verify what is causing these shortcuts to fail.  Send the backup to my email jona@visualblasters.com

From my tests I believe I figured out the cause.

One quick test:

1. Pick a new station from the lists to start playback.

2. Add it as a favorite.

3. Add the new station as a shortcut and verify if it works. (It should)

Then do the following.

1. Pick a new stations from top hits that you never played and add it to favorites using the little dropdown shortcut blue bar.

2. Add the new station as a shortcut and verify it works. (You should see the same errors you are getting)

What it seems to be happening is that when you save a new station to favorites without ever having played it it will fail when used as a shortcut.  The solution is to play it once and then add it as a shortcut.  The reason is that we save only the station id and fetch the playlist when you connect once and we cache that. If the test below work for you then I have a good idea how to resolve this issue.

Please remove the app completely and try downloading it again freshly. Please also send me an email with your purchase receipt so that I can verify everything is ok with your purchase.  Send it to jona@visualblasters.com.

Win8 app is on our plans! :)

From your device browser go to:

http://vtuner.com/setupapp/guide/asp/BrowseStations/Searchform.asp

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

Thanks for letting me know! Take care!

Reboot reported to have resolved the issue.  The cause could have been that the Android Media Framework has crashed and a reboot would have restarted it.

A simple reboot might do it?
