How to organize video playback on raspberry pi with a ticker overlay?

Question

media players

Hello, please tell me a suitable player or a bundle of programs for the implementation of such a task:
There is a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian on board. You need to implement a media complex that can play slideshows, as well as videos from a playlist (tracking changes to this playlist from time to time). A running line (news line, weather) should be superimposed over the video. It is not necessary that the tape and weather are obtained directly from the source, you can pre-write the data to a file. The main thing is to be able to overlay the running line.
Tried VLC. Does not work. There is sound, no video, only a static picture. Tried apt-get install options and manual build from source files.

Answer 1

At the moment, the solution is as follows: the video is played using omxplayer and a script that simulates a playlist. To create a ticker, use the conky system monitor panel and a program that creates the ticker effect.

Answer 2

I don't know special software. Output videos and pictures with anything, and overlay text separately, for example,
ls -la | osd_cat -c red -f -*-*-*-*-*--26-*-*-*-c-*-*-* -d 1 -w -l 1 -o 100 -p
bottom line I think you can generate a text file like
echo -e " 1\n 12\n123\n23 \n3 \n" > /tmp/test
and already issue it through osd
while true; do cat /tmp/test | osd_cat ....; done
