STATIC PLAYER

// HOW TO PLAY A VIDEO

You need a compiled .ascf file. Use compiler.py from this folder to create one:

1
Open a terminal and go to the static_player folder:
cd path/to/ASCILINE/static_player
2
Compile your video (MP4, AVI, etc.):
# Default ASCII mode (Mode 5 - Colored characters): python compiler.py your_video.mp4 --cols 160 --mode 5 # Smaller file size for ASCII mode (lossy color tolerance): python compiler.py your_video.mp4 --cols 160 --mode 5 --tolerance 10 # Pixel mode (no characters, just colors). Use higher cols for better quality: python compiler.py your_video.mp4 --cols 250 --pixel --quantize 2
3
Serve this folder with a local server (required by the browser):
python -m http.server 8080
Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
4
Enter the filename of your compiled .ascf file below and press PLAY.
