You mean like aaxine(1)?

AAXINE(1)                                                            AAXINE(1)

NAME
       aaxine - an ASCII art video player

SYNOPSIS
       aaxine  [aalib-options] [-A<audio-driver>] [-a<audio-channel>] [-R<rec-
       by>] [MRL...]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page explains the aaxine program. Aaxine, is an aalib based
       frontend for libxine, a versatile video/multimedia player.

       aaxine is for those who don't have a high end video card, but just want
       to watch DVDs on their good old vt100 ;-)

       Like xine, aaxine plays MPEG system (audio  and  video)  streams,  mpeg
       elementary  streams  (e.g.  .mp3 or .mpv files), avi files (using win32
       codecs or ffmpeg), (S)VCDs, DVDs and  many  more.  In  short,  anything
       that's supported by xine-lib.
