Play? I think mplayer or VLC will do that better.

For the ticker -- yes, you have to use ffmpeg to edit the input stream 
and add the ticker, then pipe the output to mplayer, vlc, ffplay or 
other players -- then it can be streamed to different screen.

I've no idea on how to generate the ticker video (which will form an 
overlay on the original video), but feeding it to ffmpeg can be done 
through loop devices.
