Show the current ProppFrexx title on OnAirScreen

ProppFrexx ONAIR can control OnAirScreen natively via an OnTrackPlay command (HTTP GET). The NOW footer line accepts NOW:TEXT.

API reference: OnAirScreen API / UDP / HTTP / MQTT
Forum example: EXEC_SEND_HTTP_GET

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

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.

General settings → Events/Commands. Assign to the global Playlist.OnTrackPlay event:

EXEC_SEND_HTTP_GET http://<onairscreen-ip>:8010/?cmd=NOW:${artist} - ${title}

Placeholders (User Manual appendix / overlay docs): ${artist}, ${title}, or ${trackname} for a combined “artist – title” string.

ProppFrexx must URL-encode the query (spaces, &, non-ASCII). If titles arrive truncated or cut at &, use the encoded variants from the appendix (often a _enc / URL-encoded form of the same names).

Firewall: TCP 8010.

A second command can send NEXT:… if your version exposes next-item tokens (overlay docs list next-track fields such as type/duration; confirm the artist/title next names in your build).

• EXEC_SEND_HTTP_POST — OnAirScreen commands are GET only; do not POST XML/JSON to port 8010.
• EXEC_SEND_TCP — OnAirScreen has no TCP command port. Prefer HTTP GET, or UDP if a send-UDP command exists in your appendix.

Gate the command on track type (music vs. jingle/spot) in the event/script so beds do not overwrite the footer.

• Replace IPs after 10s and WARN behave as on the other playout howtos (WARN hides NOW/NEXT).
• EXEC_UPLOAD_FILE cannot feed OnAirScreen.
