Where are replays saved?

[rebound_1_2]

Are the replays saved on my PC?

Also what is the link for?, when i type it in to a browser it leads to a blank page.

Hi,

The replay information is stored on the server, it does not consume any resources on your PC. You can search and replay any games, not only your own ones. I can warmly recommend watching capo's maximum breaks with the aiming lines switched on. A golden source of snookerq knowledge and snooker break building in general.

Hi. Sadly, you don't have the option to save your replays locally on your computer but if all you want to do is watch then then see previous reply.

Why sadly?

A replay file is good only for one thing: to replay it! If it was saved on your computer, you would first have to load it in the game to replay it.

I have a suggestion: Think of the short strings like sqrep://s/=9LIdg.4.47 as the replay file content itself and then you can say that these files can be saved on your PC as text files. Or name them like MyJammyEscapeFromSnooker.sqreplay. Is the file size only 21 bytes? What an effective compression!

BTW, the My Favourites section of the REPLAYS window provides a storage for your best shots and games and you can put your own comments there, too.

Easy explanation why I said sadly. Several years ago, I posted a clip-on YouTube made up from some of these replays that I was allowed to save locally. To this day it is still fun to watch (for me anyway)
Solely for my own gratification mate but some of the folks I played years ago really appreciate the memories and we still have a laugh about it.
This one in case you haven't seen it. I'm pretty sure you don't feature in it, but you will remember some of the starring cast.

Replays are automatically saved on the SnookerQ server. Nothing required to create them and they can be replayed anytime, even if the physics engine changes in the future. In fact, the oldest frames you can replay in the game were played with a different, old physics engine but the saved games contain meta information about this and the replay funtion can apply the relevant physics when you are watching a saved game.

YouTube videos are saved on YouTube.
