i am looking for a simple and efficient way to record a Pd-session and replay it later. at this early stage i am only interested in replaying the gui part, so basically i want to create a screencast, but without recording a movie.
the idea is, to just capture the network traffic between pd and pd-gui and later feed the traffic pd->gui traffic into a standalone pd-gui.
i am currently experimenting a bit with pcap files (since packet sniffers do not require any intervention on the Pd side), but of course the result is quite verbose and i am not really interested in the tcp/ip handshake between pd and pd-gui. all the available pcap replay tools i found (e.g. tcpreplay) are really tools for testing network infrastructure rather than replaying client/server communication.
my self written tools suffer from big timing issues...
Hi IOhannes,
You will almost certainly not like this solution, but you can use my [s-totalrecall] and [s-tr-node] abstractions to record a full session of knob-twiddling to play back later. I use this to record my live sets and then replay them later, off-stage.
Chris.
