Multiple viewers and controllers
The control app sends commands to all radio display apps in the room while excluding control apps. This means one phone can control many screens, and several phones can operate the same shared radio display state.
When the control app starts, it requests the current state from displays in the room. This keeps the controller aligned with the station, playback status, overlay settings, mute state, and volume currently active on the display.
