====== Show the current RadioDJ title on OnAirScreen ======

[[https://www.radiodj.ro/|RadioDJ]] can control OnAirScreen natively via the **Now Playing Info** plugin (Web Export, HTTP GET). The **NOW** footer line accepts ''NOW:TEXT''.

API reference: [[oas:api|OnAirScreen API / UDP / HTTP / MQTT]]\\
Plugin tutorial: [[https://www.radiodj.ro/tutorials/now-playing-info-plugin.html|NOW PLAYING INFO PLUGIN]]

===== 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 the plugin’s text-file export.

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''.

===== Recommended path: Now Playing → Web Export GET =====

**Options → Plugins → Now Playing Info** (or the Now Playing button on the main window) → **Web** tab ([[https://www.radiodj.ro/tutorials/now-playing-info-plugin.html|tutorial]]).

^ Field ^ Value ^
| Enable | on |
| Method | **GET** (not POST) |
| URL | ''http://<onairscreen-ip>:8010/?cmd=NOW:$artist_enc$ - $title_enc$'' |

''$artist_enc$'' / ''$title_enc$'' are the URL-encoded forms. Plain ''$artist$'' / ''$title$'' break on spaces and ''&''. Full variable list: ''RadioDJ\Docs'' (Stream Variables).

If Custom Data is filled, it **replaces** the default query. Then either leave Custom Data empty and put everything in the URL, or set URL to ''http://<onairscreen-ip>:8010/'' and Custom Data to ''cmd=NOW:$artist_enc$ - $title_enc$''.

**GET (CUSTOM)** appends the payload **without** a ''?'' — only use it if the URL already contains ''?cmd=NOW:''.

Firewall: TCP **8010**.

===== Songs only =====

Default Web Export follows **Options → Stream Titles** per track type. Restrict Stream Titles / plugin enablement to music, or the footer fills with jingles and spots.

===== Notes =====

  * **Replace IPs after 10s** and **WARN** behave as on the other playout howtos (WARN hides NOW/NEXT).
  * File Export / serial export cannot feed OnAirScreen directly.
