fpp-matrixscroller reads song metadata from FPP's currently playing sequence and scrolls it across one or more LED matrix panels using FPP's Overlay Model Effect API. Each panel is independently configurable with custom font, color, scroll direction, and speed. Message fields (pre-roll, tune-to, artist, title, album, post-roll) are individually enabled per panel, with per-song overrides to change text, color, or speed for specific songs. A configurable idle mode displays custom text when no media is playing.

Additional features include a web UI, manual message overrides via REST API, config backup and restore, repeat delay between scroll iterations, and a ready-to-use Home Assistant dashboard for remote control.

Runs entirely on the FPP host. Plugin info validated against fpp-plugin-Template.

Hi @mikeneiderhauser Due to the large number of AI generated plugins being submitted to FPP this year. We are having a pause at the moment whilst we establish updated guidelines for plugin submission, plugin structure in FPP, the plugin json file and the intake process. We will tag you when the information is released over the next few weeks.
