Another bug
When I do ls | tv, it shows this. Ctrl-t after ls, works fine. However the pipe doesnt work.

you may export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8", which will let zsh save history in UTF-8.

(It works fine on archlinux)
television 0.9.1
target triple: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
build: 1.83.0 (2025-01-09)

The first issue is your zsh history not containing valid utf-8. I guess television could just filter out the lines that aren't utf-8 instead of crashing entirely, will add that to the next release.

In the meantime, you could set LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" as @xsy420 pointed out to make sure zsh produces utf-8.

Another bug
When I do ls | tv, it shows this. Ctrl-t after ls, works fine. However the pipe doesnt work.

This is just your input containing ansi formatting escape sequences which aren't currently being parsed by tv (I'm working on that as we speak and it'll soon be released).

[alexpasmantier]

See #263

And I'll soon issue a release for ansi formatting @AnirudhG07 😊

Thanks so much!

The zsh_history works great! but the ls | tv does not. (I didnt set what you asked to export. since ill just use ctrl-t for now)
