This feature requires the "Remote Control" option, and is not available in demo mode. Remotely control OnTheAir Video, edit playlists, and many other things from a web browser.

Sample web pages
We also provide a few sample pages that allows you to get started with the REST API (see below). These are provided as examples to start with, so they are not meant to be used in production.
When you create your own webpages, you can place them in the folder set in "Settings > General > HTTP Server > Web Pages Folder". OnTheAir Video will then serve this page, and you will be able to view them in a browser the same way you view this page.
Playback Controller
Simple webpage to allow you to control the playback, just start, stop, pause buttons.>
Playback ControllerEmergency Controller
Two buttons to use in case there is a breaking news event, and you want to stop the scheduler (so no playlist start automatically), and then resume it when the breaking news event is finished.
