That's a really nice capability for multi-boxers on TrueBox servers, or households with multiple players and a dedicated showeq box.

The capture will have all kinds of identifying info in it, so you definitely don't want to post it publicly. Thinking about it a little more, I probably can't reproduce your exact scenario, but I should be able to do a capture directly on my switch (since the I can see the tags there) and then use that pcap for playback, which should be good enough.
