Improved ASCII Media Player

TL;DR

In this release,

• AMP shifts from using RGB colour models to HSI ones for faster and easier conversion and mapping of colour.
• The code is refactored into a single class.
• There is now support for play/pause and quit player (in between of a video playback).

This release continues to use curses module like the previous one. So if you are on windows, you would need to run this on WSL.

ASCII Media Player major updates

This is a major update to ASCII Media Player that drops true colour support in favour of achieving compatibility with both old and new terminals. (For example, macOS Terminal.app supported now)
If you wish to use the version with true colour support, view previous releases and the tc-version branch of the project.

What's new

• added support for terminals only having 8 or 16 colours
• true colour support has been dropped in favour of greater compatibility and more efficiency
• added speed control to match frame rate with source video
• used curses module to achieve improvements
• dropped pause/play support. Will add it again soon

Improved Play/Pause Functionality

What's changed

• Removed dependency keyboard in favour of pynput, which is much more friendly to Linux. 🐧
• Play and pause is now done from the same key, the spacebar. This mimics the functions of other popular video players. 🎥
• Code restructuring 👨🏻‍💻

This is a beta release, functions may break, see known bugs below

Known Bugs

• Accessibility permissions required for pynput on macOS, visit the pynput documentation for help
• Too small font sizes may slow the rendering in ASCII for the video.

Added play/pause functionality

ASCII Media Player

Added Subtitle Support

ANSI Art Generator is now AMP
That stands for ASCII Media Player. Why the name change? That's because a change in functionality...

1. ASCII Media Player now supports subtitles, so if you have a .srt file along with the video, AMP will display is on the terminal at the right time.
2. Groundwork has been added to make AMP more fast in the future through parallelism.
