Hello Derek,
settings that affect various timeouts during playback are in <PLAYER_INSTALL_DIR>\Solarwinds.SEUM.Agent.Worker.exe.config in <playerConfiguration> section and they end with "WaitTimeMs" suffix.
- elementWaitTimeMs - Time for which playback waits for an element that he should click/write/do something with. Lowering this value can speed up playback of transactions that are failing but it can cause false alerts for transactions where page content is not loaded fast enough.
- fileDownloadWaitTimeMs - Time for which playback waits when initiating file download. When server does not start sending file during this time, playback fails.
- pendingRequestsWaitTimeMs - Time how long player waits for any background request (ajax, 3rd party javascripts, ...) to complete. Lowering this value can speed up loading of some pages but can also cause false alerts if background requests are required for the page to work properly.
Other WaitTime values should not directly affect playback speed and should not be changed except specific situations.
