A setup to get video thumbnails in nnn when it's running in kitty.
Install nnn's "preview-tui" plugin.
Set kitty.conf up to support the previewer plugin:
allow_remote_control yes
Add the following to whatever script sets up your environment (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc):
export NNN_FIFO=/tmp/nnn.fifo
export NNN_PLUG='p:preview-tui'
export USE_PISTOL=1
alias nnn='nnn -Pp'Install the (other) dependencies:
Set up your pistol.conf:
video/* kitty_vidthumb %pistol-filename%
application/vnd.rn-realmedia kitty_vidthumb %pistol-filename%
image/* kitty +kitten icat --silent --transfer-mode=stream --stdin=no %pistol-filename%
Copy the two scripts, "vidthumb" and "kitty_vidthumb", to your PATH and make them executable.
And that should be it.
The thumbnail cache and index are in ~/.cache/vidthumb.
