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
