Console app to display animated GIFs
I encountered an animated GIF, https://static01.nyt.com/science/gifs/Suppl.3.gif (an odd wave propagating over the atmosphere of Venus) . I can view it in X but I'd like to view it in not-X.
|
I just tested it in mplayer and mplayer displayed it.
|
In non-X? I get errors, the first set complaining that it can't open the X11 display, the second complaining that it can't initialize the video driver.t
|
Mplayer is defaulting to an X display
mplayer -vo help should give you a list like this.. vdpau VDPAU with X11 xv X11/Xv gl_nosw OpenGL no software rendering x11 X11 ( XImage/Shm ) xover General X11 driver for overlay capable video output drivers sdl SDL YUV/RGB/BGR renderer (SDL v1.1.7+ only!) gl OpenGL gl_tiled X11 (OpenGL) - multiple textures version dga DGA ( Direct Graphic Access V2.0 ) matrixview MatrixView (OpenGL) v4l2 V4L2 MPEG Video Decoder Output directfb Direct Framebuffer Device dfbmga DirectFB / Matrox G200/G400/G450/G550 null Null video output mpegpes MPEG-PES to DVB card png PNG file jpeg JPEG file gif89a animated GIF output mng MNG file mplayer -vo <insertdisplayhere> filename try dga, directfb, libcaca (caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca) You could also try mplayer -vm filename (It will try to choose the best driver) |

-vo caca -vo fbdev2 worked for me on animated gifs. however, the results were... less than desirable. what also worked: Code:
mpv -vo caca *gif |
