Show the current RadioBOSS title on OnAirScreen
RadioBOSS can control OnAirScreen natively via Nowplaying notifications (HTTP) or a run command. The NOW footer line accepts NOW:TEXT.
API reference: OnAirScreen API / UDP / HTTP / MQTT
Community (UDP via Swiss File Knife): OnAir Screen with Radio Boss
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 test with oas_send.exe from the OnAirScreen license:
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: Nowplaying notifications → HTTP GET
Settings → Reports → Nowplaying notifications (RadioBOSS manual).
- Enable notifications
- Add a notification for Playing track title
- URL:
http://<onairscreen-ip>:8010/?cmd=NOW:%artist - %title - Encoding: UTF-8
Title format variables on that page include %artist and %title. Confirm next-track tokens in the same list if you also want NEXT:….
RadioBOSS must URL-encode spaces, &, and non-ASCII characters in the query string. Firewall: TCP 8010.
Option B — run oas_send
Playlist Add Command or Scheduler run (help: Operation → Scheduling playback → Scheduler commands):
run C:\Path\To\oas_send-noconsole.exe --ip 192.168.23.5 "NOW:%artist - %title"
Use oas_send-noconsole.exe so no console window flashes on air. Same pattern as the community SFK udpsend examples for LED1:ON — for the title, HTTP or oas_send is enough.
Notes
- Replace IPs after 10s and WARN behave as on the other playout howtos (WARN hides NOW/NEXT).
- A third-party “RadioBOSS Studio Monitor” is not OnAirScreen.
