Video support #45

Closed dankamongmen closed 4 years ago

dankamongmen commented 4 years ago

Once we have good image support (#18), it oughtn't be hard to do video. Being able to render a video onto the background or into a panel would be pretty awesome. If we want to really do this, I think it would be appropriate to link to ffmpeg, and employ it to acquire a series of images.

We're never going to achieve the level of mpv -vo tct without directcolor support, which is not happening in conjunction with ncurses (see #56). The best we can do is quantize down to 256 colors.

this will be a notcurses thing
