led-ticker-rss

An RSS/Atom headline plugin for led-ticker. It contributes a single rss.feed widget that polls a feed URL and scrolls each story headline across the panel as its own ticker message.

This package split out of led-ticker-feeds (its feeds.rss widget); the type is now rss.feed.

Prerequisites

  • A working led-ticker install.
  • Internet access on the Pi (the widget fetches the feed URL).

Install

The widget auto-registers via the led_ticker.plugins entry point — once the package is installed, no [plugins] config change is needed.

Into a containerized led-ticker (recommended): add this package to config/requirements-plugins.txt (copy it from config/requirements-plugins.example.txt), then rebuild:

led-ticker-rss
# in your led-ticker checkout
docker compose up -d --build

Standalone (a venv that already has led-ticker):

pip install led-ticker-rss

See the led-ticker Plugins docs for the constraint-based install the Docker image uses.

Configuration

[[sections]]
[[sections.widgets]]
type = "rss.feed"
url = "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml"

The widget is a Container: it pulls the feed in the background and expands each story into its own scrolling TickerMessage, so live updates surface within one display cycle.

Development

This package lives in the led-ticker-plugins monorepo. Run tooling from the repo root:

uv sync --extra dev
uv run pytest plugins/rss
uv run ruff check plugins/rss
