Description

I tried out streaming images at video framerate rates using ImageInTerminal, and it works surprisingly well, at least on MacOS.

Here's a quick and dirty start of a package https://github.com/IanButterworth/VideoInTerminal.jl

An easy demo is just

using VideoInTerminal
testvideo("annie_oakley")
testvideo("ladybird")

Would this be something to bring into ImageInTerminal, or leave separate given the dependency on VideoIO?

I'm thinking it would be nice to try adding additional UI controls to it, like pause, play speed, scrubbing

Edit: Controls added. Also a webcam viewer

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked VideoInTerminal.jl package and the ImageInTerminal.jl repository, then assess how the VideoIO dependency and proposed controls fit the existing terminal viewer. Done means an agreed integration or separation plan with its dependency and control scope recorded.
