tmux only supports sixel from 3.4 or newer, and it needs to be manually enabled during compile time. Can you try without tmux?

RealYukiSan commented 2 weeks ago

without tmux:

I don't have an idea what's going on there

Actually I don't think st supports sixel either without a patch, are you using a patch? Can you try with another sixel player or another terminal that does support sixel?

No, I use a default st without modification.

Can you try with another sixel player or another terminal that does support sixel?

Alright, I will try installing another terminal and give a feedback

RealYukiSan commented 2 weeks ago

Wait, do you have any recommendation for terminal software that support sixel out of the box?

EDIT: nvm, I will try alacritty first

https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/910 It doesn't support sixel. ~~You can probably try kitty.~~ You can use vo=kitty with kitty though.

Wait no, kitty doesn't support it either. Find a terminal here https://www.arewesixelyet.com

Thanks for the awesome resources! the st patch provided on the site actually worked with some limitations described in the gist

as a note: I must lower the st version to apply the patch without any conflict:

git log --until="2017-06-11"

closing the issue as this is not related to MPV player

mpv-player / mpv
