Back to files

This is a record/replay proxy for RFB (used by VNC). It can be used to record changes to the frame buffer into a file, for later playback.

To record a session:

• start a vnc server as normal, on localhost:1
• run 'rfbproxy --record rfb.log'. This will create a VNC proxy server on localhost:10
• run vncviewer -encodings hextile [options] localhost:10
• do stuff
• quit vncviewer. rfbproxy should also quit.

To play back a session, there are two possibilities:

1. Use rfbproxy again.
   • rfbproxy --play rfb.log
   • vncviewer localhost:10
2. Use xrfbviewer, available from www.hexonet.de.

Have fun.

NOTE

If you intend to use the --loop or --cycle options when playing back, you CANNOT use the ZRLE encoding when recording. This is because the zlib state cannot be maintained.
