Title. Basically, a lower panel that shows the latest news, etc (fetched from a rss link or a sequence of rss links) while scrolling left (ala CNN). Why? I’m trying to make a “smart clock” of sorts that shows a live stream, a real time clock and -also- the latest news – all crumbled together in a single screen.
I’m using a orange pi zero 3 w/ Dietpi installed. And due to the expected “crazyness” of this idea, I had to resort to you guys.
Thanks in advance.
I see, I didn’t know ffplay could do some ffmpeg stuff by itself but it makes sense (ffplay is bundled with ffmpeg). I tried a very small example, you have to tweak it:
-vf drawtext="fontsize=20:fontcolor=white:text=example line of text:y=h-line_h:x=mod(w+text_w-50*t\,w)"It makes the text scroll right to left, looping back to the start when it goes off screen. I adapted it slightly from the examples section of the manual: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#Examples-71
Yes! This is more like it. Thank you.
Now to figure out a package that acquires the latest news out of a rss link and prints it in the cli.
