I'm not sure chafa works with video like, say, mplayer built with aalib and libcaca will convert movie files to color or B&W ASCII on the command line (iirc w/ audio only on the host machine). Similarly, on PPC Macs, there was QuickASCII,[1] which lacks audio. I have used tiv,[2] (available with MacPorts) which works very well with images, not video. There was a way to configure the browser links (not lynx) to use tiv to browse the web on cli with converted images. [1] http://quickascii.sourceforge.net/ [2] https://github.com/radare/tiv
