Network adapter assign: Professional multi-network operation
Many general-purpose applications leave all network selection entirely to the operating system. That approach is convenient, but it may not provide sufficient control for demanding installations. Assign Network Adapter add-on gives Magic RDS 4 explicit control over how individual connections and services access the network. This improves predictability, separation of network traffic and operational reliability — exactly the kind of control expected from professional RDS and broadcast automation software.
We have modified a significant portion of the code related to network operations. Although we have made every effort to test everything thoroughly, it is still possible that we have not covered every real-world scenario. Please report any potential issues to us, and we will resolve them as quickly as possible.
Legacy HTTP client removed
In this version, the implementation of a modern interface for HTTP/HTTPS communication necessitated the removal of the legacy HTTP client. This step had been announced in advance via a notice within the program itself. The simplest replacement is to create a new Connection with the "Hybrid radio" kind and "Simple HTTP" model (see the image). Current solution now supports:
- Latest secure https protocols
- Selectable GET or POST or combined method
- Multiple instances (can feed any number of websites or devices with different data)
- XML/JSON elements in separate variables (for example artist and title)
- Adjustable distribution delay
Alternatively, use the Connection kind Bridge and appropriate "Internal channel" commands.
Please note that sending text to the website works under all licenses but in the "Basic" and "Activated" license it operates in trial mode.
We continue to maintain the application so that it remains runnable on old versions of Windows, such as XP and Vista. However, some modern network features and secure protocols depend on capabilities provided by the operating system and may be unavailable or limited.
