      I don’t know but maybe it could be configured to open videos with console mplayer using SVGA lib. If you try and get solution drop me a comment and short description if it works 🙂
      Success

    you can also try elinks. it does not show images on its own, but uses external programs for the same. You may refer this article: https://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/05/06/howto-use-elinks-like-a-pro/

    (not sure if you would be interested, if you are looking for browser with inline images)

    Also, links2 does not support javascript (for that matter probably any console browser) and it wont show GIF animation like w3m.

    Keep up the good work, I read few posts on this website and I conceive that your site is very interesting and holds bands of fantastic information.

    The really cool things about graphic links in console use is it can be used for viewing pictures, because nowadays it is pretty hard to make svgalib work on Debian and zgv is no longer available in Debian repositories.

     

    To view pictures use glinks picturename.{jpg,png,gif), where glinks might be a shell script wrappe file like so – just save a file with such content in /usr/local/bin/glinks, and chmod +x /usr/local/bin/glinks:

    #!/bin/sh
    links2 -driver fb $1
