Custom SOD Generator

This repository includes:

• A bash script to play Ascii Video Frames in a series of systemd-bsod - bluescreens on linux. (Thanks @FlyTechVideos for big parts of the bash code!!)
• A python script to convert videos to a format readable by the player.
• Tested with Python version 3.10 and 3.11.

How to use

Generate custom frame file

• There's a pregenerated file for "Bad Apple" generated by @FlyTechVideos using https://github.com/Chion82/ASCII_bad_apple.
• To generate your own frame file, create a new venv python -m venv name_of_venv enter it by typing source name_of_venv/bin/activate.
• Type pip install -r requirements.txt to install all dependencies inside the venv.
• Type python genFrames.py video.mp4 frames.txt -n 3. The first file is the input video, the second file is the output file and the -n flag describes how many of the frames get converted.
• Higher -n -> faster playback with less frames. -n 1 is every frame, -n 2 is every second, ect.
• Deactivate the venv by typing deactivate.
• Continue with "Play back frame file".

Play back frame file

• Type sudo bash start.sh for the default frames.txt or type sudo bash start.sh framefile7.txt for using a frame file called "framefile7.txt".
