ascvid 1.5.3

ascvid is an ASCII video player with quite exact results. It is mostly advised to be used under Linux, but it might work on Windows too (its behavior under Mac is untested, and it will likely not work well).
Here is a little showcase of what it can do:

It requires a Truecolor terminal to work like this. If you are on a stupider terminal, the results will look less realistic.The produced graphics aren’t blinking as in other ASCII video players, however, the videos might lag a bit if your terminal is zoomed out.
ascvid also supports audio output and pausing your video! It’s a true video player.

Installation
python3 -m pip install ascvid
Then you can just run ascvid and you’re good to go.

CLI Options
NOTE :: –no-truecolor option lags like my brain, so if you are on a stupid terminal, you are better off using –no-color in ASCII mode.
.. code-block:: console
