Is it possible to parse a rss reader through ffplay?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I see, I didn't know ffplay could do some ffmpeg stuff by itself but it makes sense (ffplay is bundled with ffmpeg). I tried a very small example, you have to tweak it:
-vf drawtext="fontsize=20:fontcolor=white:text=example line of text:y=h-line_h:x=mod(w+text_w-50*t\,w)"
It makes the text scroll right to left, looping back to the start when it goes off screen. I adapted it slightly from the examples section of the manual: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#Examples-71
Yes! This is more like it. Thank you.
Now to figure out a package that acquires the latest news out of a rss link and prints it in the cli.
