-# 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
-- Connects to RadioDJ REST API to acquire song info
-- Displays title, artist, and album (with scrolling marquee for long text)
-- Shows album art or a fallback image if none is available
-- Exports title, artist, album, and album art to output folder
-- Supports multiple profiles for different RadioDJ instances
-- Auto-regenerates missing `profiles.json` and fallback image
+## 🚀 New in v1.8.0: The Web Update
+* **Integrated Web Server:** Hosts a live, high-performance web widget for OBS Browser Sources.
+* **Tri-State Status Indicator:**
+    * 🔴 **Red:** Disconnected from RadioDJ API.
+    * 🟢 **Green:** Connected to API (Web Server Off).
+    * 🔵 **Blue:** Full Broadcast Mode (API Connected + Web Server Live).
+* **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
-- Windows 7 or later
-- .NET Framework 4.7.2
-- RadioDJ REST API running and accessible
+## 🛠 Features
+* Connects to RadioDJ REST API to acquire real-time song info.
+* Displays title, artist, and album (with scrolling marquee for long text).
+* 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
-1. Download the release ZIP and extract all files to a folder.
-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`.
+## 🌐 Web API Endpoints
+Once the server is active (Blue Status), you can access the following data URLs locally or over your network:
 
-## Usage
-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.
-3. Output files will be saved in the selected output folder.
-4. If album art is missing, a fallback image will be used.
+| Resource | URL (Localhost) | Purpose |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Main Widget** | `http://127.0.0.1:8181/` | Loads the full HTML/CSS/JS widget for OBS. |
+| **Song Title** | `http://127.0.0.1:8181/title.txt` | Returns the raw text of the current song. |
+| **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. |

+## 📋 Requirements
+* 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.
