A video player that renders frames as ASCII art, using the ffmpeg API for video decoding and ncurses for terminal manipulation.
ncp8b is an acronym for 'ncurses player, 8 bit' (output is in 8 bit color).
Since this uses ffmpeg, many video formats should work.
Build with make:
make
libav* (4.2.2) and ncurses must be installed.
(TODO: cmake)
Generate build files:
cmake -S . -B build/
libav* (4.2.2) and ncurses must be installed.
Build:
cmake --build build/
build/ will contain the binary. It doesn't depend on anything relative to its location so you can move it wherever you want.
Run with an argument to specify the video file to open, e.g:
ncp8b [video_file_path]
(TODO)
If no argument is given, a file can still be opened while the program is running by typing:
:[video_file_path]
Use space to pause/play, arrow keys to seek, and tab to switch tabs.
On the logs tab, vim-like controls can be used.
