Plugin README

Ticker

Dynamic text overlays for IPTV channels managed by Dispatcharr.

Renamed from Tickarr → Ticker as of v0.5.00. This is the same plugin, same author, same feature set — just a new name. Existing Tickarr installs are not automatically migrated: remove the old tickarr plugin folder and install this one fresh, then reconfigure your channel mappings.

📖 Read the full User Guide — setup steps, settings reference, and troubleshooting for every feature below.

Features

SiriusXM Now Playing — auto-maps Dispatcharr channels to SiriusXM stations and displays the current artist and track in a centered overlay box
EAS/JAS Weather Alerts (USA + Canada) — NWS and Environment Canada alert overlays with broadcast-style ticker and attention tone
Custom Text — user-defined static or scrolling text, with always-on or timed display schedules
Sports Ticker — live scores from the ESPN API across 23 leagues and NASCAR, with single-color and multi-color rendering modes

Requirements

Dispatcharr v0.25.0 or later
