Could you try to see what error you see when it fails to connect?

Thanks for your post! This is a common question and there is an answer! :)

XiiaLive stops working when you hit STOP button than you simply hit home or back button to close the app.  You will still see a running process but you should see no running services.

Android keeps apps processes, which use memory, in case they are opened  again. This is an optimization Android makes so that apps load faster.  If Android needs more memory and XiiaLive is not playing any music Android simply closes the process and takes away the used memory.  

So simply having a process running doesn't mean battery is being used or that the device memory is being clogged by the app.

Hope that my answer helps! Any questions let us know!

Please make sure you don't have any virus protection apps running such as Avast.  The app does work on JB.

Thanks for letting me know!

Yep! Might have to create completely new widgets to solve this issue.... :)

We have plans for win8 app! :) I have no estimated time when we would have it complete but once we do for sure we will post it on our facebook and twitter accounts.

Ok! I'm able to reproduce what you are saying... Guess what... The actual stream is looping over and over... :/  I have tested it on my PC with different programs and the same issue is happening... Send the station an email?

Hey Robert, sorry for the delayed response... The radio streams generally use HTTP protocol connected via port 80.  There must be something blocking these stream in your home network.  Are you still having issues?

We will add an option to disable the lock screen player.

Thanks for the post. Yeah, newer version of Android finally the controls for playback works but on older... 4.0 and 4.1 it doesn't work properly.
