Great use of SIXEL and displaying something thats not only static - tha changes daily. I've grabbed and archived nasa.tar.bz and appreciate che out your project.
Did you have any luck with this?
Once thing I found is that the picture of the day is sometimes a video,
so you have to check that. I'll upload an updated version in the next
day or two, there's another issue I want to sort out.
So I don't have anything that changes daily - I was w0rking on a project that took retro magazines in .PDF format and auto-formats them and displays in SIX... I got stuck up because I can't display TWO SIX files side-by-side - when you write a SIX 'over top' another SIX, there is dithering b/c of the way SIX files are drawn on screen...
HOWEVER, I also have played around w/ animations (animated GIFs, converting video to GIF and then SIX...) and video. There is an FFMPEG-SIXEL project on github that is promising...
At any rate, I thought the NASA pic of the day was really awesome for displaying using SIX; and I bet with some tweaking, if one wanted, you could get the other formats converted - its just a pain.
