playervcr
[Player utilities]

Synopsis
playervcr is a GUI client that provides VCR-like control over the recording and playback of logfiles. It does this via the log interface of the writelog and readlog drivers, respectively.

playervcr requires GTK.

Usage
playervcr is installed alongside player in $prefix/bin, so if player is in your PATH, then playervcr should also be. Command-line usage is:
$ playervcr [-h <host>] [-p <port>] [-i <index>]
Where the options are:

To use playervcr, you must create a log device, such as "log:0", in your configuration file. Look at the docs for the writelog and readlog drivers for examples.

When playervcr starts, a single window containing a few self-explanatory buttons will pop up. The buttons will differ depending on whether the underlying driver reads from or writes to the log. When reading data, you can rewind, start, and stop; when writing data, you can start and stop.
