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
Ryan Castellucci :nonbinary_flag:
bonus video available: ssh rickroll@ansi.rya.nc
Ryan Castellucci :nonbinary_flag:
I need to add playback controls, lol.
Ryan Castellucci :nonbinary_flag:
and yes, if you stay connected, it will play an entire two hour film for you

@babetoduarte I could do star wars 🤔
Jorge 💾
@ryanc Wow! This is impressive and very interesting. A definite upgrade to the towel.blinkenlights.nl telnet version of Star Wars I remember from my early years. Kudos!

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

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

@targetdrone Each frame is tagged with when it should display, with the start of playback taken as T=0.
When playback starts, the current time is captured, and then for each frame the server computes the target time and sleeps until then.
There is also some code to drop frames if it gets too far behind.
John Deters
@ryanc This is very cool. The frame timing is amazing, how did you do that?
Ryan Castellucci :nonbinary_flag:
@nicolaottomano Yeah, PuTTY is known not to work. Not sure why, but it may not like the way the server does auth.
nicolaottomano
@ryanc
Impressive! 😲
It does work with ssh in Windows 10, no other params needed.
Does not work with potty Putty on the same PC (or I'm missing something).

@Viss Thanks! Will hopefully get around to posting the code and a writeup eventually.
Viss
@ryanc whoa this is super fucking cool!

This uses SSH to mostly to take advantage of compression (yes, it an be enabled by the server even if you set Compression=no), but it'll make some other features easier to implement.

@ryanc Feature request: at the other end of the status line (right-justified), an indicator of how many simultaneous streams are currently being served 😉
zbrown
@ryanc see on one hand I've got people trying to justify that terminal apps should get direct access to the Wayland clipboard, on the other I've got you threatening features in your ssh-based streaming service…

@rbairwell It only supports ed25519 and curve25519 key exchange, which your client may not support. I can enable P256 ECC which might work.
Richard Bairwell
@ryanc Hmm just tried connecting from my Pixel 6a Android phone using JuiceSSH and Termius (had to try the rickroll username and neither would accept empty username) and both unable to establish a connection due to: Unable to exchange encryption keys
Ryan Castellucci :nonbinary_flag:
@rbairwell also sneakers@ will work as a username
Ryan Castellucci :nonbinary_flag:
@rbairwell alright, it has ecdh-p256 support now, that may help
Ryan Castellucci :nonbinary_flag:
If your client requires an explicit username, you can use sneakers or rickroll for a movie or a music video respectively.

@mytwobits01 Most modern terminal emulators support 24 bit color, it's been around for at least a decade.
Yes, the service uses unicode.
mytwobits01
@ryanc
Does it use Unicode? That might be why it didn't work well for me.
Also, I wouldn't have thought ANSI supported 24-bit color. ANSI was created in the 80s, yes?
Ryan Castellucci :nonbinary_flag:
Ryan Castellucci :nonbinary_flag:
@mytwobits01 the standards have been updated over time
mytwobits01
@ryanc
Thanks, will peruse.
Looks like ANSI is 16 colors; something else must be at play for 24-bit.

@kasiandra I tried turmux on my phone and it lagged bad, lol
Kasiandra Richmond
@ryanc looks good with termux 😂
