This plugin allows you to use the RDSExpert interface directly on FM-DX webservers.
It works both with HTTP and HTTPS servers.
When the plugin is started, the connection to your server's RDS websocket is established automatically.
RDSExpert is an advanced RDS/RBDS decoder that allows you to view a large amount of technical data related to the Radio Data System.
-> For documentation about the decoder itself, please click here. <-
-> To do this, enter chrome://flags/#local-network-access-check in the URL bar, then disable the relevant option.
If you are concerned about the potential risks this may cause, it is best to use a different web browser such as Mozilla Firefox.
