- Add "Integrations" to the top nav on the landing page and all 17 SEO pages (targeted at the nav Compare→Sign-In boundary; breadcrumbs untouched). - Contextually cross-link the 6 integration spokes from the what-is and open-source guides (YouTube/RSS/Weather/Google Slides/Canva/Power BI) — each spoke now has 5 inbound links instead of hub-only. - Remove the public "Status" footer link to /api/status from landing.html (endpoint stays for the admin panel + healthcheck; just not advertised).

<h1>RSS Feeds on Digital Signage: News Tickers & Headlines</h1>
|
|
<p class="lead">ScreenTinker has a native RSS widget. Point it at a feed URL and it renders live headlines on screen - perfect for a news ticker, blog headlines, or an internal announcement board.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>The short version</h2>
|
|
<p>The RSS widget is built in - no plugins or embeds. You give it a feed URL like <code>https://example.com/feed.xml</code> and it pulls the latest items and renders the headlines on screen. Because it is a configurable widget, you can add it to playlists and layouts, and it can share a multi-zone layout with your main content so headlines run alongside images or video.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Step by step</h2>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the <strong>Content Library</strong> (or the layout editor) in your ScreenTinker dashboard.</li>
|
|
<li>Add the <strong>RSS</strong> widget.</li>
|
|
<li>Configure it with your feed URL, for example <code>https://example.com/feed.xml</code>. The widget fetches the feed and renders the current headlines.</li>
|
|
<li>Add the RSS widget to a <strong>Playlist</strong>, or place it in a zone of a multi-zone <strong>layout</strong> next to your other content.</li>
|
|
<li>Publish and <strong>schedule</strong> the playlist or layout, then assign it to one or more screens.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Tips & use cases</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>News ticker.</strong> The classic use - a strip of scrolling or rotating headlines along the bottom or side of the screen while the main zone shows video or promos.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Multi-zone layouts.</strong> Put the RSS widget in one zone and your primary content in another so headlines and the main message play at the same time instead of taking turns.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Internal announcements.</strong> If your intranet, wiki, or CMS can publish an RSS feed, point the widget at it to broadcast staff updates without emailing everyone.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Status pages.</strong> Many status and monitoring tools expose an RSS feed - surface incidents on an ops or NOC wall board.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Blog and content marketing.</strong> Show your own latest posts in a waiting area or office lobby to keep visitors engaged with fresh material.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Which feeds work.</strong> Any standard RSS or Atom feed URL that returns headline items. Feeds you control are the most reliable, since you know they will stay online and public.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>FAQ</h2>
|
|
<h3>Is the RSS widget really built in?</h3>
|
|
<p>Yes. RSS is a native ScreenTinker widget - you configure a feed URL and it renders headlines. There is no third-party plugin or embed code to manage.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What kind of feed URL do I use?</h3>
|
|
<p>A standard RSS or Atom feed URL, such as <code>https://example.com/feed.xml</code>. Most blogs, news sites, CMSes, and status pages publish one.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Can the RSS ticker share the screen with other content?</h3>
|
|
<p>Yes. Place the RSS widget in one zone of a multi-zone layout and your main content in another. Headlines and your primary message then display at the same time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Can I use an internal or private feed?</h3>
|
|
<p>The widget fetches a feed URL, so any feed the player can reach works - including an internal feed on your network for a self-hosted deployment. Publish your announcements as RSS and point the widget at that URL.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Does it work on all ScreenTinker players?</h3>
|
|
<p>Yes. The RSS widget runs on Android TV, Fire TV, Tizen, webOS, Vega, Raspberry Pi, Windows, ChromeOS, and the browser player - all free.</p>
