I'm disappointed to see this getting so much traction when showterm.io is clearly the superior product with rewinds, custom speeds, scrolling up and down and linking to a specific point in time, and has been around so much longer. Here is an example of a longer Showterm session: http://showterm.io/a0616ce5e6f411f292e18 taken from http://www.bitfalls.com/2013/08/autofight-php-job-interview-...

asciinema is here since 2011 (although it was called ascii.io until 2 years ago).
As for rewinds, you can click on the progress bar to jump to a time you want. Also, the upcoming version of the player supports fast-forward/rewind/jump keyboard shortcuts: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player/blob/next/src/...
As for the playback speed you can set speed, theme, font size etc (embedding docs say this - https://asciinema.org/docs/embedding), and you can append these options to any asciicast URL too, like this: https://asciinema.org/a/21743?speed=5&theme=solarized-dark
Looks like these are not easily discoverable from the player UI, so noting this down. Thanks for bringing this up!
Ok, that's quite a bit of news. Thanks for clarifying, shines a new light on things.
That is cool and all, but its really really annoying the amount of history that thing throws at your browser.
Took about 10 tries of going back as far as the history would allow to get back here. I hate sites that do that junk.
