A Text User Interface can be used; it will then output the video streams directly in the
|
||||
terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
To make it work, you need to have a terminal compatible with at least one image
|
||||
standard (Kitty, iTerm2, or "block", which uses Unicode half blocks and 24-bit color
|
||||
escape codes).
|
||||
|
||||
The control buttons are the same as for the ``simple`` output.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
`term-image`_ is used to display images in the terminal. Check its documentation to see
|
||||
if your terminal is compatible with it (or just try). You can check compatibility at

.. note::
|

You need to have installed the ``term-image`` package to make it work. It is the case

if you have used `[TUI]` or `[all]` dependencies during Libervia installation.

The following output options can be used:
|
||||
|
||||
- **renderer=RENDERER**: Use a specific renderer. It is case-insensitive and RENDERER can
|
||||
be one of:
|
||||
|
||||
- **auto** (default): selects the best possible renderer automatically
|
||||
- **block**: uses Unicode half blocks. This option may be less resource-intensive than
|
||||
other options (but not necessarily, depending on the implementation).
|
||||
- **iterm2**: iTerm2 image protocol
|
||||
- **fps**: frames per second to render. It defaults to 25, you can try lower values if
|
||||
your machine struggles to show images.
|
||||
- **size**: same as for ``simple`` output, except the default here is 640x380 for
|
||||
performance reasons.
