Been working on these 2 projects and they actually sort of work together in a cool way, basically imagine a BBS chat room where it can tune a station, broadcasted by someone with whatever they want to stream, live, with automatic closed captioning, is being rendered using ANSI glyphs in true color synced across users with no drift. I think of it as a virtual BBS couch.

There's a bit more to the update below, but in short the projects are here and there if you want to try or look for the bite sized details: https://github.com/hmderdoc/telnetvision and https://github.com/hmderdoc/avatar_chat_universal

Besides telnetvision integration Avatar Chat has been updated with bridging chat networks in mind, with included bridges for irc, discord, telegram, matrix and slack. Last but not least there is a forked version of Moebius that can connect and send ANSI's to avatar chat and interact on that network - sending ANSI's has always been possible but all editors were on my domains, the moebius fork at least brings that functionality available to other servers.

If you do somehow manage to get your own telnetvision broadcast going, you can tune an avatar chat room channel to a broadcaster by typing (using my domain as an example) `/tvtuner futureland.today 7601 cam` - the params being server-url, port, and channel-name.

If you install the new avatar chat and want to see the tv feature in action, just type `/join #tv` something should be broadcasting.

So I went ahead and created a little Linux script to play 24/7 random Simpsons episodes.

Come on down to ezycom.retroswim.net:2323 and try [T]elevision under the doors menu.

It's slightly sketchy script running as a systemd unit, basically all the parts except the door.exe itself are just in loops to they restart if they fall over. Been working for a few hours, fingers crossed it'll hold up to a few people trying it! :D

Looking forward to hearing feedback haha!

I don't have the port 7601 open, but I'm going to deploy AvatarChat and do all that investigation next.

Getting the broadcast going was enough excitement for me today! '

What terminal(s) can you use for this? or am I misunderstanding...

Primarily syncterm if you want higher than 80x50 resolution. Netrunner works with 256 colors at 80x50 (half blocks). Icyterm might work, I haven't tried
it but it generally does what syncterm does. Terminator on android tries,
but falls on its face.

SyncTerm works, I assume NetRunner will work.

Netrunner only does 80x25, but does 256 colors so it doesn't look too bad. Works out to 80x50 with half blocks. Syncterm works best at 132x60
xtruecolor.

I would think that what Syncterm "works best" at would HIGHLY depend on
what monitor/aspect ratio is being used...

Well, you could go higher but there's a serious bug with custom screen
settings in syncterm. 132x60 is the highest native mode. It should look decent on relatively any monitor or aspect ratio now-a-days.

I only use it in 80x25 mode myself. Have you let Deuce know about this
bug?
