How to control Xiialive radio app from Tasker using Action Intents (new Open API !)

[Steer]

I just want to share what I have done with Tasker and the Xiialive
radio application.
(Xiialive: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.DroidLivePlayer)

They recently released a new Open API which is a number of public
intents. Xiialive News: http://userecho.com/FFJd

You can control Xiialive with Tasker using the Action Intent feature
and the intents listed below.

Example:
Misc > Action Intent >
Action: com.vblast.xiialive.service.ACTION_MEDIA_PLAYBACK_TOGGLE
Cat: None
Data:
Extra:
Extra:
Target: Service


Xiialive Intents:

will be ignored.

The following intents are requests for information and I assume Pent
would have to add support in Tasker for these to work? Maybe something
to consider for a future release. It would be possible to build cool
radio widgets with Zoom!
