News feed

Live news as a page or a ticker

Pick a news source or paste any RSS or Atom feed and the screen shows a broadcast-style news page with headlines, photos and the source logo, or a ticker that scrolls headlines under every other slide in the playlist. Refreshed automatically.

Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month. Plugin version v1.3.

On the screen

What the screen shows

News page

Headlines with photos and the source logo, a slide of its own.

News ticker

A scrolling headline bar under every slide of the playlist.

Presets and any feed

NOS, NU.nl, RTL, regional presets for Europe, the USA and Asia, or your own RSS or Atom URL, your company news included.

Always current

The feed is refreshed automatically; the last headlines stay through an outage.

Setup

How it connects

01
Pick a source

A preset, or paste any RSS or Atom feed URL.

02
Choose page or ticker

The broadcast-style page as a slide, or the ticker under everything.

03
Push to screen

Add the page to a playlist, or attach the ticker to it.

Privacy

What reaches the screen

A core widget: nothing to connect and no account behind it. Settings live in your TVpilot account and the widget keeps its last data on the device for at least a day, so a screen that restarts during an outage still shows something useful.

Any TV

Show it on the TV you already own

TVpilot turns the hardware you have into a managed screen: an Amazon Signage Stick with the TVpilot app, a Raspberry Pi with one command, a Fire TV Stick or Android TV, or simply the browser of a smart TV. One player URL per screen, managed from the dashboard.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I show my own company news?

Yes. Any RSS or Atom feed works, so an intranet or blog feed becomes the company ticker.

Can the ticker run under a video?

Yes. The ticker runs under every slide in the playlist, videos included.

Which sources are preset?

Dutch sources such as NOS, NU.nl and RTL, and regional presets for Europe, the USA and Asia.

How often does it refresh?

Automatically, several times an hour.
