It is a simple python package to play videos in the terminal using characters as pixels

Hi, I run this program to watch some video on macOS. But I encounter problem: AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'.

After I search that, I know: time.clock() has been removed in Python3.8.

I have checked the related line of file, and replace it with time.process_time(). Then it works well. Maybe need to use other API on other OS. https://github.com/joelibaceta/video-to-ascii/blob/5c812d5e7fd9466050dcdd6d4441ce077f2378d8/video_to_ascii/render_strategy/ascii_strategy.py#L120

How to solve this Problem? i used pip not pip3 to install opencv-python and video-to-ascii because it is not work

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/andre/anaconda3/bin/video-to-ascii", line 10, in sys.exit(main()) File "/home/andre/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/video_to_ascii/cli.py", line 21, in main player.play(ARGS.file, strategy=ARGS.strategy, output=ARGS.output, play_audio=ARGS.with_audio) File "/home/andre/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/video_to_ascii/player.py", line 23, in play engine.play(output) File "/home/andre/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/video_to_ascii/video_engine.py", line 38, in play with_audio=self.with_audio) File "/home/andre/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/video_to_ascii/render_strategy/ascii_strategy.py", line 113, in render time_delta = 1./fps ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero

Installing on macos Mojave using the system pip and python yields the following error on execution:

❯ video-to-ascii
/usr/local/bin/video-to-ascii: line 3: import: command not found
from: can't read /var/mail/video_to_ascii
/usr/local/bin/video-to-ascii: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/local/bin/video-to-ascii: line 6: `CLI_DESC = ("It is a simple python package to play videos in the terminal"'

On a closer look, it's because the file bin/video-to-ascii is missing the ! from the shebang line, which should read like so:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Furthermore, you'll also want to include a line like this:

# coding=utf-8

Otherwise, I get this error:

I've pip installed opencv-python and video-to-ascii in my PC, which runs Windows 10, Chinese simplified version. However, I constantly encouter the ValueError when I try to run "video-to-ascii -f filepath" command in terminal. Following is a screenshot about my commands. How can I solve this trackback? Thanks.

• Fixed the typos and wrong links in the original README file.
• Add the translations section in each README file.
• Move the README in different languages into the translations folder to keep the folder structure clear.

Due to global reach of this project we need to translate our readme to main spoken languages as:

• [x] spanish or
• [x] chinese

We suggest use the format readme_es.md for naming the translated file .

I got 'AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock''. A simple google search let me to believe the 'time.clock()' function has been removed and replace by another. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58569361/attributeerror-module-time-has-no-attribute-clock-in-python-3-8

Currently, the Pyaudio library is getting errors when executed by Python 3.10. Changing the library to sounddevice fix this and get a robuster way to work with the audio stream.

After Installing the package, When i want to see a video with audio (-a) it gives the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyaudio'

I installed the package:

pip3 install video-to-ascii --install-option="--with-audio"

Used it :

video-to-ascii -f rickroll.mp4 --strategy filled-ascii -a

It gives error. I also ran it with no audio and it worked Screenshots

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• Python version: 3.8

Hello! "ALSA lib pcm.c:8545:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred" error. It plays, but the sound is very laggy. Tried restarting pulseaudio but didn't help. I tried "aconnect -x", the sound became a little better (faster), but the same error also lags. The error occurs at the bottom of the video. Collected using a script, with audio support. Debian, bullseye.

I was unable to install the package. I found that the setup.py has a mistake in it.

I fixed it here, please approve this request at : https://github.com/joelibaceta/video-to-ascii/pull/80
