How to open a .avi video from a -X ssh version of an Ubuntu terminal? None of the ones said below work for me:
The syntax to open any file in its default application is
xdg-open If you mean play the video in the terminal video, install mplayer (sudo apt-get install mplayer) and run
mplayer -vo caca It doesn't run directly in the terminal window, but it does display in ASCII characters.
