-# RadioDJViewer
+# RadioDJViewer v1.8.0
 
-RadioDJViewer is a Windows Forms application for displaying song information and album art from a RadioDJ REST API. It is designed for use with RadioDJ automation software and provides a simple interface for viewing and exporting currently playing track details.
+**RadioDJViewer** is a high-performance Windows application designed to bridge the gap between RadioDJ and your broadcast visuals. It fetches live "Now Playing" data from the RadioDJ REST API and serves it simultaneously to physical local files and a built-in network web server.
 
-## Features
+## 🚀 New in v1.8.0: The Web Update
-- Connects to RadioDJ REST API to acquire song info
+* **Integrated Web Server:** Hosts a live, high-performance web widget for OBS Browser Sources.
-- Displays title, artist, and album (with scrolling marquee for long text)
+* **Tri-State Status Indicator:**
-- Shows album art or a fallback image if none is available
+    * 🔴 **Red:** Disconnected from RadioDJ API.
-- Exports title, artist, album, and album art to output folder
+    * 🟢 **Green:** Connected to API (Web Server Off).
-- Supports multiple profiles for different RadioDJ instances
+    * 🔵 **Blue:** Full Broadcast Mode (API Connected + Web Server Live).
-- Auto-regenerates missing `profiles.json` and fallback image
+* **Memory-Caching:** Data is served to the web widget directly from RAM for zero-latency updates and reduced disk wear.
+* **Network-Wide Access:** View your "Now Playing" widget on any device (Phones, Tablets, or second PCs) on your local network.
 
-## Requirements
+## 🛠 Features
-- Windows 7 or later
+* Connects to RadioDJ REST API to acquire real-time song info.
-- .NET Framework 4.7.2
+* Displays title, artist, and album (with scrolling marquee for long text).
-- RadioDJ REST API running and accessible
+* Dual-Output: Exports `.txt` and `.png` files for legacy GDI+ sources while hosting the web stream.
+* Supports multiple profiles for different RadioDJ instances.
+* Auto-regenerates missing `profiles.json` and fallback images.
 
-## Installation
+## 🌐 Web API Endpoints
-1. Download the release ZIP and extract all files to a folder.
+Once the server is active (Blue Status), you can access the following data URLs locally or over your network:
-2. Ensure the following files are present:
-   - `RadioDJViewer.exe`
-   - `Newtonsoft.Json.dll`
-   - `RadioDJViewer.exe.config`
-   - (Optional) `default.jpg` and `profiles.json` (will be auto-generated if missing)
-3. Run `RadioDJViewer.exe`.
 
-## Usage
+| Resource | URL (Localhost) | Purpose |
-1. Configure a profile with the REST API URL, output folder, and image settings.
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-2. Click Connect to start polling the API and display song info.
+| **Main Widget** | `http://127.0.0.1:8181/` | Loads the full HTML/CSS/JS widget for OBS. |
-3. Output files will be saved in the selected output folder.
+| **Song Title** | `http://127.0.0.1:8181/title.txt` | Returns the raw text of the current song. |
-4. If album art is missing, a fallback image will be used.
+| **Artist Name** | `http://127.0.0.1:8181/artist.txt` | Returns the raw text of the current artist. |
+| **Album Art** | `http://127.0.0.1:8181/Album-Art.png` | Serves the current album art image bytes. |
 
-## License
+*Note: Replace `127.0.0.1` with your computer's local IP address to access these from other devices.*

-## Repository
+## 📋 Requirements
-[https://git.smartcraft.me/minster586/RadioDJViewer](https://git.smartcraft.me/minster586/RadioDJViewer)
+* Windows 7 or later.
+* .NET Framework 4.7.2.
+* RadioDJ with the **REST Server Plugin** enabled and configured.
+
+## 🔧 Installation & Setup
+1.  **Download & Extract:** Run the `RadioDJViewer.exe`.
+2.  **Run as Administrator:** This is required for the Web Server to bind to your network port.
+3.  **Configure API:** Enter your RadioDJ IP, Port, and Auth Key in the settings.
+4.  **Set Output:** Choose a folder for your physical text and image files (e.g., `H:/RDJ-Output/`).
+5.  **Connect:** Click **Connect**. Your status box should turn **Blue** when everything is active.
+
+## 🌐 Network & Firewall Setup
+To allow other devices to see the widget, you must open the port in the Windows Firewall:
+1.  Open **Windows Firewall with Advanced Security**.
+2.  Create a **New Inbound Rule** -> **Port** -> **TCP**.
+3.  Enter Port **8181** (or your chosen port) and select **Allow the connection**.
+
+## 📝 Credits
+This program was developed as a learning journey into C# and .NET, with collaborative assistance from **Microsoft Copilot** and **Google Gemini** to refine the API parsing and web server logic.
