+# Environment
+- this application normally runs on an embedded linux on a cm4
 
 ## Application
 - this is a bluetooth Auracast transmitter application
+- if you add a new parameter for a stream make sure it is saved to the settings.json so it is persisted
 - it consists of multicast_frontend.py and multicast_server.py mainly which connect to each other via a rest api
-
+- after you implemented something the user will mainly test it and you should call the update_and_run_server_and_frontend.sh script if the server and frontend were already running.
