ascvid 1.5.3

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

-H, --hide-cursor

Hide the cursor while playing the video

-A, --no-audio
