Suggestion for album art display #35

I thought this would fit better in "Discussions" but it seems to be disabled.

I just recently came across this project and going through, I noticed the limited support for album art display e.g the range of supported terminal emulators and image aspect ratio, amongst other things.

I'm the maintainer of term-image. Without much ado, I believe it has quite a lot to offer for the purpose at hand. It's still in active development and there's a lot more features on the way.

NOTE: It's still on version zero, meaning the API isn't stable yet and might change across minor versions, so it would be advisable to pin the dependency to a specific minor version if you decide to go ahead with it.

Finally, I'll appreciate your suggestions/contributions towards improving the project.

Thank you :bow:

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I took a look at your library and it looks very promising!

I have been experimenting with getting w3m to work and also been trying to get chafa working properly.

Does your library integrate well with cursed? I have been running into trouble with the way curses keeps track of the cursor position. I haven't (yet) found a way to draw an image using sixels (or ansi characters) without the cursor position getting messed up. I hope to find a solution to this soon.
