====== Show the current Myriad Playout title on OnAirScreen ======

[[https://www.myriad.radio/myriad-playout-7|Myriad Playout 7]] (and Myriad 5/6) can control OnAirScreen natively via **OCP**. The **NOW** footer line accepts ''NOW:TEXT''.

ON AIR LED from the mixer: [[onairscreen:myriad-led-en|Drive LED1 from Myriad Hardware Service]].

Same idea for RCS Zetta: [[onairscreen:zetta-en|Show the current RCS Zetta title on OnAirScreen]]

API reference: [[oas:api|OnAirScreen API / UDP / HTTP / MQTT]]

===== 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'' |
| MQTT | Topic ''{base}/text/now/set'' | Payload: ''Artist - Title'' |

Optionally the same for the second footer line: ''NEXT:…''. Maximum **500 characters**.

First check that OnAirScreen shows the title at all. After startup the IP is in the first footer line.

On **Linux / macOS**:

<code bash>
echo "NOW:Artist - Title" > /dev/udp/<oas-ip>/3310
curl "http://<oas-ip>:8010/?cmd=NOW:Artist%20-%20Title"
</code>

On **Windows** (Myriad runs on Windows) use ''oas_send.exe'' from the OnAirScreen license:

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

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

===== Recommended path: OCP → HTTP or UDP =====

In Myriad this lives in **OCP** (Online Content Processor). Myriad 7 gives OCP a tile-based UI and a JavaScript command language for conditional outputs. The **HTTP Get** and **IP/Serial (UDP)** outputs are the integration path — in Myriad 5/6 they belong to **OCP Pro**.

OCP user guide (v5/v6; the concepts still apply): [[https://help.broadcastradio.com/support/solutions/articles/101000535015-myriad-ocp-v5-v6-standard-ocp-pro-user-guide|Myriad OCP User Guide]]

==== Option A — HTTP Get (usually the simplest) ====

Add a new OCP **HTTP Get** output:

  * URL: ''http://<onairscreen-ip>:8010/?cmd=NOW:<OCP_NOW_ARTISTNAMES> - <OCP_NOW_ITEMTITLE>''
  * Method: **GET**
  * Trigger: on every log change (now playing)

A second output for the upcoming title:

''http://<onairscreen-ip>:8010/?cmd=NEXT:<OCP_NEXT_ARTISTNAMES> - <OCP_NEXT_ITEMTITLE>''

OCP replaces the tags with live data. Common tags (confirm in the Format Creator of your OCP version):

^ Tag ^ Meaning ^
| ''<OCP_NOW_ARTISTNAMES>'' | Artist, now |
| ''<OCP_NOW_ITEMTITLE>'' | Title, now |
| ''<OCP_NEXT_ARTISTNAMES>'' | Artist, next |
| ''<OCP_NEXT_ITEMTITLE>'' | Title, next |

Older docs sometimes use ''<OCP_NOW_ITEMNAME>'' and ''<OCP_NOW_ARTISTS>''. The Format Creator lists the aliases your version actually supports.

OCP must **URL-encode** spaces, ''&'', and non-ASCII characters. If titles arrive truncated, check encoding in the HTTP output options. Firewall: allow TCP **8010** to the OnAirScreen host.

==== Option B — UDP (IP/Serial) ====

Add an **IP/Serial** output, protocol **UDP**:

  * Address: OnAirScreen host IP (or ''127.0.0.1'')
  * Port: **3310**
  * Payload: ''NOW:<OCP_NOW_ARTISTNAMES> - <OCP_NOW_ITEMTITLE>''

No HTTP encoding needed. Firewall: allow UDP **3310** to the OnAirScreen host.

===== Songs only, not jingles =====

Otherwise station IDs and beds land in the footer. In Myriad 7, restrict the output to songs with the OCP JavaScript language — or with the older conditional tags, for example:

<code>
[(<OCP_NOW_ITEMTYPE>=Song)NOW:<OCP_NOW_ARTISTNAMES> - <OCP_NOW_ITEMTITLE>]
</code>

Exact syntax is in the Format Creator / OCP docs for your version.

===== Notes =====

  * **Replace IPs after 10s:** After startup, NOW often shows IP addresses. The next ''NOW:'' command overwrites that. If 10 seconds pass first and Replace is on, the replacement text (''replacenowtext'') appears instead.
  * **WARN** hides NOW and NEXT — with an active warning the title is missing even if it was set.
  * OnAirScreen **does not read now-playing files**. OCP Standard file/FTP outputs alone are not enough; you need HTTP, UDP, or MQTT.
  * OCP **SmartSign** is Broadcast Radio’s own studio display, not an OnAirScreen template.
