How to Use

Requirements:

• You will need to create multiple Discord bots via the Discord Developer Portal.
• Be mindful that running this bot might cause a significant load on the Discord API due to the volume of requests, potentially leading to rate limits.

Setup:

1. Place the video:
   Navigate to the 1 directory and place an .mp4 file that you want to convert and play.

2. Modify the script:
   Open the video.py file and update it with the name of your .mp4 file.

3. Configure the bot:
   In main.py, do the following:

   • Set the TOKEN variable with one of your Discord bot tokens.
   • Provide the channel_id for the Discord channel where you want to stream the video.
   • Add the Discord bot tokens for your remaining bots in the discord_tokens section.
   • (Optional) Adjust the image width parameter to change the size of the ASCII output.

Running the Bot:

Once the setup is complete, run the script and the bot will start sending ASCII-rendered video frames to the specified Discord channel.
