It seems to be broken.
Update: it works on my desktop, but not on my phone or laptop.
When it does work, it's pretty good, though it could use some control to tune in exposure to pick up darker areas.
Correct, it may not work on mobile because the font size is 6pt and the line may be too wide for a phone. That's something I should fix. The exposure, however, probably just needs a slider to increase or decrease what is considered black.
Thanks for the honest feedback :)
Works for me.
I assume from that screenshot that there isn't color support, but if you're on Linux, you can do something similar locally with color support:
At least on my Debian Trixie system, it looks like they aren't building
mpvwith aalib support anymore, an older monochrome image-to-text library, just libcaca, but I know that in the pastmpvandmplayerhave supported that as well.This will, among other things, permit viewing video on a plain text console.
