termcast:// (e.g. termcast://termcast.org/SplatTV)
anything directly downloadable via CURL (https://, etc)

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.
