Are you still having issues with this? We have worked on this area before and the issue might be resolved in the latest release.

Thanks for getting back. The music continuing to play on the background is muted correct? Or you hear it? 

When you see the pause-play loop issue can you go into settings and press Bug report? This will collect the apps logs and hopefully contain a hint of what is going on.

Thanks for the links. So at the moment MPEG and AAC streams are supported by the Android stream engine. All other formats are sent directly to FFmpeg stream engine. If FFmpeg is the default stream engine then MPEG and AAC will also be played by FFmpeg.

I did notice the ad plays maybe a second or not at all. We are working on a new stream engine that does play the ad properly and then goes to the next playlist item.

About the custom broadcast server you are talking about. If you want to provide the URL via a private message that is fine. Otherwise you can provide details about the setup and I can see if I can maybe set one up if possible.

Tags are song that have been favorited. They are not the actual song being saved. Please try changing the XiiaLive directory to UberStations and then try clicking on one of your tags. This will try to search for stations currently playing that song.

Thanks for your feedback. Please try our new XiiaLive directory UberStations. It might have some stations SHOUTcast directory doesn't have.

Worst comes you can't find the station on the provided directories. You might be able to find them using the following suggestions.

Thanks for your post and supporting XiiaLive! I completely understand the issue you are having. The problem is that sometimes during phone calls the data connection is cut off and the stream engine timeout and stops playback. The other issue is that we don't pause playback during a phone call we simply mute it. 

All these issues are known and simply inconvenient. So we are already working on a new stream engine that resolves all these issues. We expect to have an initial beta release end of Nov or Mid Dec. 

Could you provide the URLs to the stations you are noticing issues with? The Windows Media ones and the AAC links would be great if possible.

Thanks for the post. So you can't connect at all from XiiaLive while on this WiFi network at work? That means you can't download any of the lists such as TOP HITS or SEARCH? What error do you see on the lists when it fails to download? Please reproduce the error trying to play a station and right away go to XiiaLive settings and tap on Bug report. Thanks!

This generally means the database is corrupted or simply was unable to create it. Do you have enough space on your device? Try reproducing the issue and doing a bug report from settings. Thanks!
