This requires building with libcaca. There's also tct, which is surprisingly high fidelity (but not ASCII). mpv --quiet -vo=tct 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ'

> -vo=caca Ironically, the video output called "caca" comes from "libcaca", "a graphics library that outputs text instead of pixels". The irony comes from "caca" meaning "poop" in Spanish, so the video output is named "poop", which seems fitting.

  AFAIK this is totally intentional. The lib is done by French people, and in French, 'caca' also means 'poop' :-)
