[mythtv-users] Recommendations on project with ticker

[Lex Lethol]

Lo everyone,

I am looking for any viable solution to display a video feed (.avi
file on hard drive) with a side or bottom ticker that shows
weather/news info always. I currently run myth at home and have read
some addons for ticker display during video playback (caller id
plugin).

I'd like to know from more experienced mythtv users if this is a good
option or if its a bit of overkill.  Other options would be running
the video feed with xine with a fixed size frame and worry about the
ticker running on desktop (maybe web-based feed or flash).

Any insight, links/reading material on the subject are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Lex
