Overview:
---------
"View as ASCII" (filename: ascii_view.desktop) is a small KDE service menu which allows you to watch videos using only ASCII characters. Try it, it's fun!

Installation:
------------
Copy file named "ascii_view.desktop" to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus. If a directory does not exist, create it first. That's it.

------
The bigger resolution you're using, the higher image quality you'll get. You can customize the file (ascii_view.desktop) using text editor, and adding commands like: -aareverse -aabold -aadim -aaboldfont -aanormal and so. Type "mplayer -aahelp" in terminal to learn more.

I think you can replace this line
ServiceTypes=video/avi,video/mpeg,video/quicktime,video/x-ms-asf,video/x-mpeg,video/x-msvideo,video/x-ms-wmv
by
ServiceTypes=video/*

This is name of the action in russian; i hope, it will be displayed as UTF8:

Name[ru]=Про�?мотр �? помощью �?имволов ASCII

And there is the command line to have a bit more comfortable viewing :-)
backslash before quotation marks are neccesary:

kstart --fullscreen mplayer -aareverse -aabold -aadim -aaboldfont -aanormal -vo aa \"%U\"

Thanks! I'll apply changes immediately. Anyway, I'm not sure about the aalib tweaks, its probably about personal taste, but anyone can add those manually if he likes.

Hey, I like this servicemenu. I didn't know aalib before, and I find a funny way to see your videos.. feeling strange watching me as a group of letters :p

And I also would suggest the option "-ao arts" for those who use it. Or maybe it's jet old-fashioned...

By the way,
Name[es]=Ver como ASCII

Greets!

One of the things I've always loved in Open Source is the ability to modify, which leads to learning a lot of useful and fun things. Everyone can modify the script to fit into his preferences, and thats great.
Thanks for the translation, I'll add it immediately.

Only thing that would make this better, is if you could change the font to green and watch the Matrix!
