Problem
Some stations usings OtsDJ automation software may want to display the current track being played on their site. There are many ways to do this - below is one of them.

Solution
1) Enable the Remote Access Console (RAC) from the Options menu of OtsDJ, by default it will listen on port 80, to edit the port first go to RAC Configuration in Options -> Remote Access Console.
2) Optional: Restrict access to the RAC port via a firewall. For example you may only want to allow Remote Access from your web server so that it can query the now playing information.
3) If your router is doing Network Address Translation (NAT), setup port forwarding so your web server can access the RAC port. See our port forwarding FAQ at http://support.abacast.com/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&root=10&id=37 for more information on port forwarding.
4) Implement and modify the PHP script(s) available at http://otsdjsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=8079&hl=now+playing to your website (your webserver must have PHP support). ASP and other scripts may be available soon.
