A-NET SIXEL-TV 9000 is a BBS door that renders YouTube content as sixel graphics for SyncTERM and compatible terminals, with out-of-band MP3 audio for a second-device experience.


This door streams YouTube content to users running a sixel-capable terminal. It shows a CRT-style interface, lets the user search or paste a URL, then plays video in the terminal and provides an audio link they can open separately.

Step 1
Pick a build
Linux, Windows 64-bit, Windows 32-bit, older Windows builds, or source. Choose the archive that matches your host.
Step 2
Install dependencies
You need yt-dlp and ffmpeg. Keep yt-dlp updated so YouTube changes don't break playback.
Step 3
Run the door
Connect through SyncTERM or another sixel-capable client and launch the retro video experience.

well it's like a proof of concept. he did it. nobody needs it.
it's kinda cool. no i'm not going to watch a video on a bbs and then get audio someplace else.

sysop still needs to take the pause out of his menus. https://i.imgur.com/DVDH8uB.png
