====== Show the current PlayoutONE title on OnAirScreen ======

[[https://www.aiir.com/|Aiir PlayoutONE]] can control OnAirScreen natively via **Monitor → Metadata outputs** (HTTP GET or UDP). The **NOW** footer line accepts ''NOW:TEXT''.

ON AIR LED from the mixer: [[onairscreen:playoutone-led-en|Drive LED1 from Data Controller GPI]].

API reference: [[oas:api|OnAirScreen API / UDP / HTTP / MQTT]]\\
Aiir docs: [[https://support.aiir.com/article/1101-metadata-outputs-in-monitor|Metadata outputs in Monitor]]

===== What OnAirScreen expects =====

^ Channel ^ Target (default) ^ Example ^
| UDP | Port **3310** | ''NOW:Artist - Title'' |
| HTTP | Port **8010** | ''http://<oas-ip>:8010/?cmd=NOW:Artist%20-%20Title'' |

Optionally the same for the second footer line: ''NEXT:…''. Maximum **500 characters**. OnAirScreen does **not** read Billboard text files.

On **Windows** test with ''oas_send.exe'' from the OnAirScreen license:

<code>
oas_send.exe --ip 192.168.23.5 "NOW:Artist - Title"
</code>

If OnAirScreen runs on **the same PC**, use ''127.0.0.1''.

===== Billboard first =====

**Launcher → Type Manager**: enable **Billboard** on the **Song** type (and any other types you want on the studio screen). Without Billboard, Monitor has nothing to send. [[https://support.aiir.com/article/577-configuring-playoutone-monitor-and-livestream-for-sending-metadata|Billboard setup]]

===== Recommended path: Monitor HTTP GET =====

In **Monitor → Station Settings → Metadata outputs** add **HTTP GET** (not POST):

  * URL: ''http://<onairscreen-ip>:8010/?cmd=NOW:%%Artist%% - %%Title%%''
  * Method: **GET**

Format variables use **two** percent signs: ''%%Artist%%'', ''%%Title%%'' (same as Audio Engine / text-file / Omnia outputs in the Aiir docs). Confirm names in Monitor’s format help.

A second output can send ''NEXT:…'' if your version exposes next-item variables.

Firewall: TCP **8010**.

===== Option B — UDP =====

Same Metadata outputs list: **TCP and UDP**.

  * Protocol: **UDP** (not TCP)
  * IP: OnAirScreen host (or ''127.0.0.1'')
  * Port: **3310**
  * Data: ''NOW:%%Artist%% - %%Title%%''

No HTTP encoding. Firewall: UDP **3310**. OnAirScreen has no TCP command port.

===== Notes =====

  * **Replace IPs after 10s** and **WARN** behave as on the other playout howtos (WARN hides NOW/NEXT).
  * Text File / FTP / Meta Radio XML outputs are the wrong receivers for OnAirScreen.
