Show the current mAirList title on OnAirScreen
mAirList can control OnAirScreen natively via Logging (HTTP GET or UDP). The NOW footer line accepts NOW:TEXT.
ON AIR LED from the mixer: Drive LED1 from mAirList GPI.
API reference: OnAirScreen API / UDP / HTTP / MQTT
Community (LEDs and scripts): Ansteuerung des OnAirScreen
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.
On Windows (mAirList runs on Windows) test with oas_send.exe from the OnAirScreen licence:
oas_send.exe --ip 192.168.23.5 "NOW:Artist - Title"
If OnAirScreen runs on the same PC, use 127.0.0.1.
Recommended path: Logging → HTTP GET
Configuration → Logging → Add → HTTP GET (Home Studio and up). HTTP GET logging is the same dialog used for website playlists.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Base URL | http://<onairscreen-ip>:8010/ |
| Parameter | Name cmd, value NOW:%a - %b |
| On start | on |
| Item Types | Music only (uncheck jingles, ads, …) |
mAirList URL-encodes parameter values. Logging variables: %a = artist, %b = title.
A second HTTP GET interface for the upcoming title:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Base URL | http://<onairscreen-ip>:8010/ |
| Parameter | Name cmd, value NEXT:%+a - %+b |
%+a / %+b are the next playlist item. Default lookahead is 3 items; raise NextLoggingLimit in mAirList.ini if many non-music items sit between songs.
Firewall: TCP 8010.
Option B — UDP logging
Configuration → Logging → Add → UDP (TCPRemote module; not in every edition).
- Host: OnAirScreen IP (or
127.0.0.1) - Port: 3310
- Message:
NOW:%a - %b
No HTTP encoding. Firewall: UDP 3310. Do not use TCP logging — OnAirScreen has no TCP command port.
Notes
- Replace IPs after 10s and WARN behave as on the other playout howtos (WARN hides NOW/NEXT).
- Scripts plus Swiss File Knife UDP (community thread) work for LEDs; Logging is the right tool for the title.
