Raspberry pi and VLC streamer help

[buntay20]

Hey all,

so, my current setup has a raspberry pi getting gif's from my local weather station....radar, 7 day forcast, warnings...etc, etc. how this is done is irrelevant.
I then create a html slideshow that is being fed out the HDMI port into a ASTC modulator, then that is fed into my USB tuner device.
There is a lot of overhead here and I know there has to be a way to simplify this.

I know that VLC can stream the desktop out so this would be optimal if I can create a stream the nextpvr IPTV device  or extra can work with.
My question is what settings should I be using to do this??

I have been playing around with this for a couple of days and cant seem to get it to work
 
Has anybody done anything like this?
settings for VLC and nextpvr would be greatly appreciated


Thanks,
Buntay20

If you can get that weather information into a IPTV stream, using something like ffmpeg, then NextPVR should be able to access it directly, instead of having to go by the ATSC modulator + USB tuner.
