Deva RDS

I'm new both to PIL and RDS.  I'd like some help configuring the PIL Now Playing Plugin to work with Deva SmartGen RDS encoders.   I found the following info online.

I captures a screen shot  and edited it:

Is that all I need to do?  PTY is already set o n my RDS and I don't want to change so should I leave out that line?  Do I need the DPS= line?


TIA

Hi Julian. Do you have the documentation of the RDS encoder I can use to check what is required?

Here's the basic manual which says very little about song/title:

More revealing is that they publish instructions for several automation systems and the instructions are all the same for what to do on the Deva.  The Key is creating the correct data format in the automation system:

If you glance through a couple of the listed automations systems you'll see what I mean.


I've looked at the documentation and you appear to be using it correctly. Please check the IP address and Port. These should be the IP address and Port of the RDS unit on your network. Their examples appear to be using port 1024.
