====== Show the current RadioBOSS title on OnAirScreen ======

[[https://www.djsoft.net/|RadioBOSS]] can control OnAirScreen natively via **Nowplaying notifications** (HTTP) or a **run** command. The **NOW** footer line accepts ''NOW:TEXT''.

API reference: [[oas:api|OnAirScreen API / UDP / HTTP / MQTT]]\\
Community (UDP via Swiss File Knife): [[https://www.djsoft.net/community/threads/onair-screen-with-radio-boss.11398/|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:

<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: Nowplaying notifications → HTTP GET =====

**Settings → Reports → Nowplaying notifications** ([[https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/http_request.htm|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):

<code>
run C:\Path\To\oas_send-noconsole.exe --ip 192.168.23.5 "NOW:%artist - %title"
</code>

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.
