I see these every so often, but they never mention Sixels, which could be used to display videos with much more detail (like with https://github.com/saitoha/FFmpeg-SIXEL https://github.com/saitoha/FFmpeg-SIXEL ).
Sixels aren't widely supported, and the implementations I tried were lacking in stability, but they offer some interesting possibilities, like embedding images into your text browser (and not with a hack like w3m uses), or playing Battle for Wesnoth inside your terminal [ https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel ]
- tbodt 9y agoHonestly, the main reason I like this is the way videos look with huge pixels.
- LEGOlord208 9y agoI was looking for image libraries. I couldn't really find more than /dev/fb0. Cool, I'll look into sixel!
- LEGOlord208 9y agoUpdate: Sixels now work. I just need to fix scaling. The image turns out REALLY small.
