Terminal Graphics for the 21st Century
I'm not sure chafa works with video like, say, mplayer built with aalib and libcaca will convert movie files to color or B&W ASCII on the command line (iirc w/ audio only on the host machine). Similarly, on PPC Macs, there was QuickASCII,[1] which lacks audio. I have used tiv,[2] (available with MacPorts) which works very well with images, not video. There was a way to configure the browser links (not lynx) to use tiv to browse the web on cli with converted images.

what terminal emulator would you recommend?
Like some people here and under this post said, I like Kitty and would recommend it to anyone who uses/used Alacritty, as they are very similar in surface. I actually switch between Alacritty and Kitty pretty often, depending on my "mood". I recently went back to Kitty for image support (through chafa though, for better compatibility across terminal emulators). However, Wayland support is poor and I have some issues with fonts being too bold, although it could just be my config...

UPDATE: image.nvim - Color Support
There's also https://github.com/princejoogie/chafa.nvim, which wraps https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa Did you know about that? I wonder what the differences between your plugin and that one are?

Terminal Image and PDF Not Rendered Right/Blocky
I guess it is using https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa for that, and it needs to be using https://github.com/seebye/ueberzug/tree/2c55173878906c3b221cdef16cf083f0c412bb58
- Does someone have an idea how one could create such an effect?

ANSIArt
See also https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa which is an image -> ANSI art library written in C. I built it into my BBS so users can embed images in their posts. Some turn out better than others but it gives the board a unique feel at least.
