[x] Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12.10 (bookworm)
[x] Desktop Environment: sway/WM
[x] Terminal Emulator: Kitty 0.41.1
[x] Shell: fish
[x] timg Version: v1.6.2

Description

timg can't display video previews or seemingly tries to play the video in -p quarter/half mode

Terminal does not support pixel size query, but with kitty graphics this is needed to show animations or columns. file an issue with your terminal implementation to implement ws_xpixel, ws_ypixel on TIOCGWINSZ or "\033[16t" query. Can't show animations or have columns in grid. {Suggestion: switch back to --pixelation=quarter for now}

Steps to reproduce

Clone current repository (2025-05-12)
Build from source
Copy suggested configuration from Issue #731
Open vifm and browse to a video file

Expected behavior

Video preview in kitty would display the first frame associated with the filename
under the cursor.
