RSS Ticker Overlay

This overlay displays headlines from an RSS feed as a horizontally scrolling ticker. It's designed to be used as a browser source in streaming software like OBS Studio.

Installation

  1. Add to OBS Studio:

    • Add a new "Browser" source to your scene.
    • Set the URL to the rss_ticker.html file in this directory.
    • Set the width and height to your desired dimensions.

  2. Customize RSS Feed:

    To set your RSS feed URL, you need to open the rss_ticker.html file in a regular web browser (like Firefox or Chrome) first.

    1. Open the rss_ticker.html file in your browser.
    2. Enter the full URL of the RSS feed in the input field and click the "Update RSS" button.
    3. The ticker will now display headlines from your chosen RSS feed. This URL will be saved in your browser's local storage, so it will be remembered the next time you open the overlay.
    4. You can now add the rss_ticker.html file as a browser source in OBS Studio. It will use the RSS feed you just set.

    Note: To reset the RSS feed URL, you can open the browser's developer tools (usually by pressing F12), go to the "Application" or "Storage" tab, find "Local Storage", and delete the rss_feed_url key.
