**Video links (replace text below with your links) **

Please make the affected input file available for us (no screenshots, those don't help!). Public links to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc, are all fine. If it is not possible to make it available publicly, send us a private invitation (both Dropbox and Google Drive allow that). In this case we will download the file and upload it to the private developer repository.

The tickertape text is not present at all times, but it is for the majority of the video. The text in this video is not captions, but topic information. Additional samples are available on request.

Do not upload your file to any location that will require us to sign up or endure a wait list, slow downloads, etc. If your upload expires make sure you keep it active somehow (replace links if needed). Keep in mind that while we go over all tickets some may take a few days, and it's important we have the file available when we actually need it.

Additional information

Initial work has been merged for tickertape functionality, but the code is not yet complete and is not generating usable text from NTV.

Closing due to 1) No sample, 2) This was at least partially implemented in a past GSoC
