I'm wondering if anyone familiar with ffmpeg can help with a solution to this.

I have a few web radio stations configured in NextPVR as IPTV channels.  Works well.

I would like to do something a little fancy.  In my idea, I would have a small video file on my local drive, say about a 30 second animation something like a screensaver, and merge that with the incoming web audio stream, creating an AV stream comprised of the local video file looping and the incoming web audio.

I think that above step should be possible with ffmpeg, but then the question is how to get NextPVR to call it and start the process off.  I think I can have ffmpeg setup as a server, but I gather its options are rather basic and it'd probably want to be streaming the audio in 24/7 and not on demand.

Is there a better solution to this?

This is just a little coding challenge or hobby project.  Not mission critical!  Big Grin

Why not flag the stations as radio in your m3u file and then use the Listen button to get the UI and screensaver. eg

#EXTINF:0 tvg-id="" radio="true" tvg-chno="801",BBC Radio 6 Music

Unfortunately sub doesn't support these modes in UI client so I need to use Kodi which works well and it can be configured to show Shoutcast data.
