Comment 2 for bug 512788

I'm not sure I see the benefit of playing back just the IRC log. It is a plain text file, so a user could read through it at their leisure (probably faster than the typical 1 hour playback would take). There is a bug (LP: #794124) requesting links to irclogs.ubuntu.com for old sessions. The only situation I see a playback feature being mildly useful would be if a session made heavy use of URLs and slides. The playback feature would then be able to show the proper slide along with the text that went with it.
