Sorry for the very delayed response. Yes, it can still be done, but you need to add update-1/ to the URL:
http://127.0.0.1/update-1/121=1

The reason is that we have added session ID's to the web interface, update -1 means that you're talking to the (always open) session -1, so you don't need to open a session.

We also have a new way of talking to it with JSON commands, but I still need to write a manual for that.

Ok, that previous reply was wrong.

The correct string is:
http://127.0.0.1/update-1/121,0,0,0,0,1/
(The 1 at the end is the new value)

For future compatibility, we now have a JSON interface that you can use as well. This interface is usable for both Stereo Tool and MicroMPX. Documentation can be found in an appendix in the MicroMPX manual, which will be included in the next MicroMPX Windows installer.

With the new JSON interface you can send strings like this:
Code:
{
    "121" :
    {
        "new_value" : "1"
    }
}
Which can be put in a URL like this:

http://127.0.0.1/json-1/list%7B%22121%2 ... 1%22%7D%7D

(Note: The "forced" part isn't needed but I'm too lazy to edit it out... kinda hard in a URL string like this).

The reply should be something like this:
Code:
{ "121": { "enabled": "1", "value": "1", "text": "Traffic Announcement (TA)|YES" } }

A word of warning that in UK there are Ofcom rules around use of TA - duration (4 mins max I recall) and maximum time before and after actual travel advice it may be set.

For use in a real situation it might be worth getting a small application written that bakes-in those rules and sends the http commands...

Of course some playout systems it might be possible to build the commands in with the start and end jingles (although I'm cautious, so I'd always want an additional end command just in case)

You can set the maximum time in Stereo Tool as well, it will automatically turn off after being on for that period.
