## Play videos in your terminal!
![On YouTube](/assets/tux-video.png){: height="300px" } ![In a terminal](/assets/tux-text.png){: height="300px" }
Assuming you have mpv, just run `CACA_DRIVER=ncurses mpv -vo=caca *path_to_video*`.
You can also pipe `youtube-dl` into this command, but sometimes I get a bunch of cryptic error messages. I've found that downloading the video beforehand tends to work better.
I also recommend turning down your terminal's font size.
Goodbye X, hello tty!
