HTTP API

PlayoutONE Standard and Pro, both allow you to interface simply with it using HTTP. To enable this feature you must go into the PlayoutONE Settings>Splits Tab and select the Enable HTTP Server option. You can alter the port from the default of 81 if you wish.

Once this is enabled it immediately starts PlayoutONE listening for incoming commands on the machine name via the port you set. So if your machine is called P1-STUDIO1 and you left the port as the default of 81 then you would could send a command to PlayoutONE to return the current progress like this:

http://P1-STUDIO:81/?c=GET CURRENT PLAYER PROGRESS_MS
