We have a few large screens around our school that play videos streamed from
a Windows Media Server, is it possible to include RRS feeds into or between
the movies, so live information can be included?

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your time

Yes. One way might be to publish an ASX playlist which loads the media
content from your server, but *also* contains an HTMLView element

You can then use regular javascript (eg jQuery, Prototype etc) to
render a view of the RSS feed content, or perhaps use CSS or even
server side processing to HTML to view it within an area of media
player
