Recommand a tool which can play video via terminal

You can use mplayer with video output (-vo) set to ascii lib, e.g. aa or caca.
Just run mplayer -vo aa your_file.mp4.

If you are looking for a way to stream any torrent to your favorite player from the terminal I've recently made an app for that that makes "Star Wreck" play with just a "watch Star Wreck", check it out.

The title is broken english. He doesn't want recommendations. He linked tplayer, a tool he made himself, and he wants it added to the list.
