Now, please hold on to your seat tightly.

Ok, all good?

Yes, it's true. ttt can play videos. In monochrome of course, but also in colors. Kind of. At thousands of frames per second!

I can't show it here, but here are two classics to enjoy:

  • Monochrome:

    curl -L -O bad_apple.mp4 "https://archive.org/download/TouhouBadApple/Touhou%20-%20Bad%20Apple.mp4"
ttt watch -m -a bad_apple.mp4

  • Color:

    curl -L -O rick.mp4 "https://archive.org/download/rick-astley-never-gonna-give-you-up_202302/Rick_Astley_Never_Gonna_Give_You_Up.mp4"
ttt watch -m -a -c rick.mp4

  ๐œตนโ–‚โ–‚๐œดป  Since the watch command's backend is ffmpeg, it is possible to call the
  ๐œดƒ๐œถท๐œถท๐œด€  watch command directly with a URL, but the initial load is quite slow.
