What is Wwplay?
Wwplay is a standalone Windows tool that replays WwiseProfile.txt captures through a running Wwise instance using WAAPI commands, so you can hear (almost) exactly what happened in a profiling session: events, positions, RTPCs, switches, states, and listener movement.
It has both a UI and a command-line interface, and can also be launched via Wwplay Reaper Actions (automatically installed by the Wwplay installer). In all three modes, Wwplay accepts transport sync and cursor seek from Reaper via a TCP server — enabled by default.
Note: Wwplay shares the same playback limitations as the Wwise Authoring Tool. This is most noticeable with machine-gun implementations using Random Containers with retrigger rates faster than ~15ms. Wwplay has been successfully tested with WwiseProfile.txt files up to 460 MB (~12 minutes of dense profiling).
Who is it for?
Audio designers, technical sound designers, and audio leads working with Audiokinetic Wwise who want to analyze in-game profiler captures alongside video and reference material in Reaper.

What data Wwplay collects
Wwplay itself does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. It operates entirely within your local machine, communicating only with Reaper (via Reaper API) and Wwise (via WAAPI on localhost).
License verification
License activation makes an outbound request to the Lemon Squeezy licensing API to verify your key. The only data transmitted is your license key and a machine fingerprint used to enforce single-seat activation. No browsing behavior, audio data, or project files are ever transmitted.
