I have the ssh movie player back online!

This is running on a custom ssh server built using russh as the backend. To convert frames, I used the python tv package, subtitling and playback is all custom.

You'll need a terminal that supports 24 bit color.

Try it! ssh ansi.rya.nc

I need to add playback controls, lol.

@ryanc Love the rickroll, except that it is too obvious to rickroll someone :)

@leitmedium the comedy option would be to have that for username root, and disable ctrl-c...

@ryanc Haha, yes. So many opportunities. Thanks for the great project!

@ryanc @leitmedium If you set something less obvious here (say never@), I'll share it with my coworkers.

The root@ without Ctrl+C idea has legs too, as very few people know about the Enter,Tilde,Dot escape method (though they can just close their virtual terminal or kill the ssh session from another terminal).

@leitmedium @ryanc need to edit their hosts file without them noticing somehow... 🤔
Show threadCaspar C. MierauMay 7
@Jinx @ryanc an alias or ssh config file will do, too :)

@leitmedium @ryanc fair point

@ryanc Glorious!!

@ryanc It's laudable that you're keeping the RealPlayer vibe alive. It just needs a scratchy, on-hold music rendition of the audio to go along with the video.

@xek someone suggested sending audio to e.g. pulse audio on linux via port forwarding, but it'd require more setup of the end user than I want for this demo
