NAME

termplay - replay a ttyrec "video"

SYNOPSIS

termplay file

DESCRIPTION

Termplay can play back ttyrec recordings, like those produced by termrec, ttyrec, services like nethack.alt.org or crawl.akrasiacs.org and so on.

Certain non-file streams can be played as well, such as:

file://
tcp://
telnet:// (e.g. telnet://towel.blinkenlights.nl)
termcast:// (e.g. termcast://termcast.org/SplatTV)
anything directly downloadable via CURL (https://, etc)

Keys available during replay:

space: pause/resume
enter: advance by a single frame
-, S: slow down (by half)
+, F: speed up (2x, then 4x, ...)
1: reset speed to 1.0
left arrow/down arrow/PgDn: rewind by 10sec/1min/10min
right arrow/up arrow/PgUp: skip 10sec/1min/10min
R: rewind to beginning
Q: quit termplay

Options:

-f format, --format

Here you specify the format. Those available are:

baudrate: The data will be replayed at 2400 baud.
ttyrec: Compatible with ttyrec by Satoru Takabayashi.
nh-recorder: Compatible with nh-recorder by Helge Dennhardt.
dosrecorder: Compatible with DosRecorder.
asciicast: Compatible with asciinema by Marcin Kulik, formats v1 and v2.
live: The data is assumed to be played at the same timing as it arrives. This is useful for watching termcasts, etc --- giving you the ability to rewind to an interesting moment. Trying to use this on a real file will blast its whole contents right into your face, beware!
auto (default): This pseudo-format will make termplay try to guess the format, currently only between ttyrec, asciicast and live. Caveats about live blasting the whole file right away apply!

-s X, --speed

Sets the initial speed to X, a real number between 0.001 and 1000.0.

-h, --help

Shows a short explanation of parameters.
