Stream as ASCII to Terminal

Tips

• this feature works only with MJPEG codec (use transcoding)
• choose a low frame rate (FPS)
• choose the width and height to fit in your terminal
• different terminals support different numbers of colours (8, 256, rgb)
• escape text param with urlencode
• you can stream any camera or file from a disc

go2rtc.yaml - transcoding to MJPEG, terminal size - 210x59 (16/9), fps - 10

streams:
  gamazda: ffmpeg:gamazda.mp4#video=mjpeg#hardware#width=210#height=59#raw=-r 10
